Time is taken to create a real impoverished setting. The main character is OK, but he wasn't fleshed out enough to make this a psycological horror. It relied more on simple bloody imagery as the forerunner leading up to the breakdown. It's a straight forward slow build up and breakdown movie. The build up is characters wasting away like the buildings around them, and being surrounded by stress. It's watchable, but it's very rough around the edges.

**_Ugly, tedious flick about a painter going over the edge is also an amusing period piece_**

An artist in Union Square, Manhattan, struggles with his homeless father, finishing a key painting, an annoying rock band in the building, and his relationship with his two female roommates. Insanity and More
