Storyline
Plot Summary |
Marvin savors his independence in a newly-acquired unit of an old apartment building. He is frequently visited by his girlfriend Pinky. Except for the occasional noise from an apartment unit down the hallway, the place is almost perfect for Marvin. At the end of the hallway live Anna, her jealous husband Bert, and their young daughter Lara. Bert is a cop who has always suspected Anna of two-timing him. His frequent jealous outbursts always lead to beatings that can be heard throughout the whole floor. Marvin is often awakened at night by the sound of violence and screaming from Anna's unit. He complains to the building's drunken caretaker, who just tells him to ignore the disturbances from down the hall. Anna and Lara usually ask for help from Jude, whose apartment is in the middle of the hallway. Jude's apartment becomes a temporary refuge for little Lara. One day, Pinky drops by Marvin's apartment and is shocked to see a woman knocking on his door. Pinky suspects Marvin is seeing another girl, which could explain why he has been acting strange lately. Marvin vehemently denies seeing another woman; it's the strange happenings in the building that are making him act strangely lately. Meanwhile, the beatings down the hall intensify. Jude gets scared because cruel cop Burt suspects--wrongly) that he's having an affair with Anna. Marvin gets drawn to the couple's frequent quarrels; he even witnesses Bert chasing Anna and beating on her in the corridor. All that violence affects Marvin. At length, he musters the courage to find out more about the quarreling couple. What he finds out shocks him. Marvin uncovers a secret that will change his life, and Pinky's. The discovery launches a series of hauntings that stalk him and Pinky. He decides to leave his apartment, but the hauntings follow them wherever they go. Marvin finally decides to confront the problem, and he returns to the old apartment building to face the evil that dwells there. What happens next shakes the very core of his beliefs about life, love, and the spirit world. Written by newton20032004 |
