Donovan's bizarre, riveting thriller surely belongs on any list of the best "movies you've never heard of."

A victory of style over substance, with crisp direction and a pair of remarkable performances carefully obscuring a very shaky screenplay.

Part psychological drama, part serial killer mystery and part black comedy, [it] isn't for the casual viewer; but if you like your horror on the peculiar side you'll gladly open the door to Apartment Zero.

It pretends to be a psychological-political melodrama but plays like the work of a dilettante; that is, the work of someone who wants to make movies, has the means to make them, but doesn't, as yet, know what he wants to make them about.

Apartment Zero is a psychological drama that is part black comedy and part erotic thriller.
03/10/03
The film is so leisurely paced and low-key, and perhaps a bit too vague when it's trying to be enigmatic, that it becomes boring.
01/01/00
Creepy and original.

A minor skid for Donovan is sure-driving for too many others.
