Lame Remake
2 August 2013
Warning: Spoilers
In Detroit, Janet Slate (Julianne Michelle) is happy since she has just rented the apartment 1303 of the Lake View Residence and will leave her alcoholic mother Maddie Slate (Rebecca De Mornay). She calls her sister Lara (Mischa Barton) to tell the news and she meets the girl Emily, who is her next door neighbor. Emily tells her that a girl, Jennifer, has killed her mother many years ago and jumped off the balcony, committing suicide. She also tells her to leave the apartment.

Janet hears strange noises in the apartment and she calls her boyfriend Mark Taylor (Corey Sevier) to spend the night with her. When Mark leaves the apartment, Jennifer throws Janet off balcony. The detective (John Diehl) in charger of the investigation tells Lara that there are several cases of women committing suicide in that apartment, but he believes that someone has filled them. Lara decides to move to Janet's apartment despite what has happened there.

"Apartment 1303" is a lame remake of the Japanese American horror movie "Apartment 1303" by Ataru Oikawa. This remake has awful story, poor CGI and terrible performances and I feel sorry for Rebecca De Mornay in the worst role of her career. The original movie is only reasonable but my suggestion to the reader is to not waste your time with this remake. My vote is two.

Title (Brazil): "1303 - Apartamento do Mal" ("1303 – Evil Apartment")
