My reaction
Synopsis: a man with a broken leg takes an unhealthy interest in his neighbors
How I saw it: on video (rented from Netflix), yesterday

Dialog: Great.
Pacing: Good.
Cinematography: Great.
Special effects/design: Good.

Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good). I was never really with the characters; my prediction of how things would turn out tended to be the opposite of theirs at any given time, which means the suspense didn't work for me.
