A recently separated single mother and her daughter move to a derelict and gloomy apartment building off Manhattan. This effective but slow-paced psychological thriller is a remake of a Japanese film, and its characters and twists did remind me of The Ring. Jennifer Connelly gives a fine performance in the lead.
