Wow, I have been thinking about this movie for months...I am not a TV or movie watcher at all and I just happened upon this movie while insomniated one AM. Now I have to say that I believe the way the movie was filmed to be deliberate. THe crackling sounds in the recording and the less than perfect film quality, as others call it, elude to gritty realism. It was a bit slow, but i believe that to be purposeful as well, I don't believe we were to accept the plot as delivered by the writer. I came away from the movie feeling as if the intentions conveyed by Eve were a delusion and he was actually stalking this woman..He called the first woman Isis, and the seconds' name was Eve? We are talking "first women" in mythology...Irony? I also noted in the last seen when he goes to "Eves" apartment there are perhaps signs of the struggle in the entryway. the carpet is dark with an unknown substance. it is a quick take, and i had to rewind it a few times to see it. It is consistent with the fact that there is no blood on eve in her final "display." and he says i killed her, i killed her. Were his delusions and psychotic episodes so pervasive that perhaps he didn't know what he had done? This movie is really a thinker. If you like mindless junk, this is NOT for you. Probably one of the most memorable movies i have ever seen. See it for the gritty realistic art it is and be afraid of your neighbor.....
