A success and very busy literary agent (David) who has just bought a great penthouse apartment, runs into a strange scenario: someone is stalking him and that really drives him crazy! As the action goes on, he discovers that someone documented his moves quite precisely and that he's rather exposed to the attacker's will.David is a sporty, strong, determined guy, who unfortunately has to let go his emotional part... In his conception, if you're not straight-forward you can't "make him care". But this determination is his very downfall.The movie has some interesting twists, the male character is quite dynamic, surprising and rather intelligent. All his interactions are thrilling to watch, so you'll get attracted to the story. All his dialogs with women will at least make you smile.The actual pulse of this movie is not that high. I sometimes felt that we learn some things that aren't important to the plot. Things get worse as the story advances. Strangely, I think the best part of this movie is the ending. Like in most modern movies, the last 5 minutes reveal everything that you couldn't put together during the story. And get ready for something really surprising.Another thing to mention in this movie is the soundtrack. Not very spectacular, but perfectly fitting the action.Gave the movie 8/10 and I definitely consider this one a good way to spend 1h and a half. Try it, it might make you think about people you tend to overlook :)

I watched this movie with low expectations. There were no ratings on IMDb, I had never heard of any of the actors, and all the reviews were praising it as if it were the best thing ever made; which led me to believe the only people who reviewed this movie were the ones who were working on it. I was wrong. The movie holds a very steady pace for the most part. Not a whole lot happens during the beginning; they tried to make it into a thriller way too early, and were unsuccessful. But about halfway through, the characters and story really started to shine. Just when you think you know who to point fingers at, you realize you're wrong-- again and again. Towards the end, the thrills just keep on coming until the story finally unfolds. It's enough to keep just about anyone's attention.The acting, writing and directing were 100x better than I thought they would be, especially considering the obvious low budget. My only real complaint was the acting done by Marc Blucas. He just seemed to be over-doing it a bit. Too articulate and too serious about everything he said. Everyone else did a fine job, though. Especially Shiri Appleby. I really hope someone spots her, I'd love to see her again. Her character was spot-on, her acting was top notch, and she's as pretty as can be.The Killing Floor is about as close as you can come to the border between B movie and Hollywood thriller... without the multi-million dollar budget.If any of the cast or crew read this.. great job guys!

Hi there everyone, Just wanted to share some comments about this movie, i think this is a well written and well played movie from everyone involved! I like the scenes, light, manuscript, actors, characters, yeah almost everything. It was a little "amateur" in the beginning but it just became better and better, it gave me this creepy feeling inside. "What if somebody is watching ME right now" so and I always thought that i knew who the killer was, but as closer we've got to the end i was actually confused. But i think this is and will be a underestimated movie, and i would highly recommend it to anyone who are in to the Thriller genre!! If you like the Bourne Identity you'll definitely like this one as well. Note: This is my first comment made on IMDb, =)

This is a thriller about a successful literary agent getting stalked and threatened with psychological means.I must say I did not expect this film to be so good. The character development is excellent. Right from the beginning, the main character David is already a character to be disliked, while the secretary Rebecca is a character to be sympathised. The plot is sophisticated and well thought out. The psychological threat is well presented, and furthermore, it is quite believable. I felt so attached to the characters and what was going on, that I felt insecure about sitting at home! Suspense is maintained throughout the film, and it kept me on edge all the time. From the beginning, there are already clues that gives away the twist at the end, but it does not make the film any worse. In short, I think this is a clever and intense thriller, and I would certainly recommend it!

Blucas went to the same high school I did, and so, in some rare act of hometown patriotism, I figured I'd check it out. I expected crap, not being a fan of the whole Buffy thing and not really seeing him in anything else. But I was pretty surprised, I really enjoyed the movie. Blucas's acting was quite good, and really shined through during the more intense moments. I had something of an idea of the ending of the movie early on in the film, but the actual ending still held a few surprises.The rest of the movie was pretty good as well. Nobody really had terrific acting, but nobody did a bad job either. The production could have been a little better, no major flaws to point out, just, you could tell it wasn't a big-budget movie. I'd rank is above a "B" movie, but not by a whole whole lot.Now that I look, the movie has no listed rating yet, but I think it'll definitely receive and R purely for language. What bothers me about that, and it by no means hurt the movie, but it irked me, was that with all the F-bombs being thrown around, there isn't even an ass through the entire movie (even during the sex scene). Also, aside from a few very mild fights, there really is no blood or gore or anything like that either. If you're going to go for an R rating, why not go all the way? By removing half a dozen curses, they probably could have gotten away with PG-13, but they didn't, so why skimp on all the other R-rated perks? Overall, I would for sure recommend watching it if you get the chance. Pretty decent flick.Cheers.

The beginning of the film is quite decent with a lot of potential. However the story quickly dissolves into several "suspenseful" misdirections which are mildly entertaining yet predictable.Marc Blucas plays a young, handsome and rich literary agent. The casting of Blucas for this role was a poor decision. Not because he's not a good actor; he's just not a believable yuppie bookworm. I did like that Blucas' character wasn't afraid of the dark and wasn't jumping at every strange sound or seeing things.The end is predictable although the writers didn't think so as the ending is supposed to leave you in shock. All it left me was bored and glad to hit the stop button.

My wife and I liked this movie a lot! We are not film snobs but we like finding and watching movies that most people don't know about. She found this one surfing Amazon UK. We ordered it and watched on our Mac. We agreed that it reminded us of a combination of the movies "Deceived" with Goldy Hawn and "The Player" with Tim Robbins. Like those movies "The Killng Floor" had scary moments with out being a slasher film, although was scarier than these other two. It had twists and turns that you may have suspected could happen yet they played out in a way we did not expect. Over all this movie was really fun to watch. If you know New York at all, the scenery was great. We have recommended it to our friends here in Minneapolis, MN.

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This type of movie has been done before, actually a lot. But, this movie set itself apart by the great acting, decent plot, good character building, and overall entertainment value. Marc Blucas was an excellent choice for the starring role of this movie and the supporting cast was spot on with their acting. One thing I liked about it, was that it was not overly x-rated and the women seemed classy and not the run of the mill bimbos that star in just about all movies these days, there was nudity, but, it was tasteful and not overdone. The plot was very interesting and though you could probably take a guess at who dun-nit, there where some twists through the movie to try and shake off your preconceptions till the end of the movie. I gave this movie an 8/10 because of the great balance it had and the entertainment value. This is a good movie that is definitely worth watching.

This movie was a disappointment. Characters do not act like normal people and there are too many things that just do not make sense. If you are a fan of horror movies, you are by now used to it and this shouldn't bother you. There are many cheap scares and startling noisy scenes, so if you are watching a movie for that, you will get it. However, if you think this movie will be worth thinking about after you stopped the DVD, sorry, you will be disappointed. Your intelligence is insulted through the whole movie. The main character who is supposed to be a very intelligent person acts throughout a movie like an adolescent who just wrecked his parents' car. He trusts people who any normal individual would distrust and looses all reasoning abilities after about 10 minutes of the movie. The acting was bad even for a low budget movie. Don't waste your time watching this.

While I can accept the cheap Hollywood horror movie clichés that are rampant in this movie, I can not accept the ending of the movie which, when I had time to think on it, I was not be able to unravel how the perpetrator was able to manage to do what she did. I read what others had said about the end being a surprise. Fine, I was surprised but the more I thought about who the villain was the less and less probable the plot became. She simply could not have manipulated that many factors and gotten away with her crime. The ending, which is supposed to make clear all the plot twists, goes so fast that it didn't allow me to absorb how it was possible for anyone to do what she did. So I concluded that it simply would have been impossible. What a gyp! The only reason I gave this movie a 4 was that it has no pretense of being anything other than a B film and it wasn't totally boring.
