The premise

Neighbors Spencer and Louise have bonded over their fascination with a recent string of murders terrorizing their community. When a new tenant named Victor moves into the building, all three quickly hit it off. However, they soon discover each has his or her own dark secret. As the violence outside mounts, the city retreats indoors for safety. But the more time these three neighbors spend together in their apartment building, the clearer it becomes that what they once thought of as a safe haven is as dangerous as any outside terrors they could imagine.

Horror Vault's take

In a Montreal apartment building gripped by a serial killer terrorizing the neighbourhood, two residents bond over their morbid fascination with the murders — until a charming new tenant upends the uneasy dynamic. As the city locks its doors and retreats inside, the three neighbours grow uncomfortably close, and the line between sanctuary and threat begins to dissolve. What unfolds is a tightly wound character study where the dangers lurking in the hallway may be far more intimate than anything outside. Secrets surface slowly, and trust becomes the most fragile thing in the building.
