Introduction
Apartment 1BR is a 2019 (Drama, Horror, Thriller) movie, according to IMDb.
Impact
Darkness and the unusual quickly featured, with unusual social and physical environments shown. The lead characters quiet and shy personality, added to viewer impression of vulnerability.
Psychological
Psychological elements came in with a sense of isolation, created through a lack of rapport and connection to others, of the lead character. This developed into a concern about the wishes of others, with a sense of character paranoia. Not knowing what to belief, painted impressions of delusion.
Evil is mostly depicted based on light and sound effects, and the source is frequently changed, keeping the viewer guessing.
Physical
Adding to the psychological aspects, suffering and torture appeared as themes. Violence and gore were used in combination with suffering, testing character resolve in macabre ways.
Sound was used almost to torment, with repetitive lyrics used to reinforce tension. Sound effects of suffering also featured well, including vocals, and weapon noise.
Culture
Initiation was used as a means of testing character, however this was cleverly used to highlight multiple physical and psychological Horror elements. The element of commune subculture, created a sense of Horror, by highlighting how typical cultural norms weren’t present within the characters’ environments. This created unease for the viewer, encouraging a sense of mental challenge.
Morality
The film challenged what the viewer feels is right and wrong, switching between a positive to negative sense of the community frequently.
Summary
Scary and psychological.
Apartment 1BR has a rich complex of Horror mechanisms, and certainly instills a level of fear in the viewer. The setting provides a rich source of Horror, with the ending continuing to challenge the viewer psychologically in terms of their subjective sense of right or wrong.

We deeply thank all 49 of our followers, especially those who are still reading at this point in this article. You really do shape our content, and maintain our focus on producing content which appeals to our audience. Based on WordPress insights, we have learnt that certain types of product reviews are most popular, and our movie reviews are in need of the greatest modification to enhance viewing statistics.
Please feel free to advertise related content in the comments below, but all I ask is that you please be respectful. I have had some comments in the previous few months, which have gone against the spirit of my blog.
That is to be a friendly place for fans of Horror, movies, drinks, and adventures, and particularly those who are interested in writing or reading engaging content.
It is not a place for those who posted links of an explicit nature, reducing visibility of helpful comments, providing insight for my future blog writing.
I thank all of those who have liked my articles, but I won’t ask you to press like on any of my content, unless you do actually like it, as it helps me to gather further accurate information about the types of articles you, the reader, actually would like to see moving forward.
Please comment below with ideas for future content, or any thoughts not covered by the points outlined above.
I will continue to post this statement on articles to come, to ensure optimal visibility for viewers. A big thank you to Neil Patel, for producing a helpful video on search engine optimisation (SEO), to assist my content popularity. I hope it helps anyone else who has content online to get their voice heard, be it through writing or video, or other creative forms of expression online.

Based on insights gained, I have increased my blog content article length, introduced a “food for thought” section to encourage creator-viewer engagement, introduced a “why you should read” tagline under each article title, added a closing statement which will be used on future articles for the same purpose of updating you on how the blog is progressing, and increased content from my critical eye, on what works well in the film, regardless of its genre.
