Alan Boon Starburst Nov 20, 2020
With a higher budget and a more-experienced cast, Darkness in Tenement 45 could have been one of the Covid-era's sleeper hits... but its restrictions, and a slightly-unravelled climax, mean it's just another low-budget thriller. Go to Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills Nov 10, 2020
...neither this material or its execution are ever quite inventive enough to keep Tenement from growing a bit dull and protracted. Go to Full Review Thom Ernst Original Cin Nov 3, 2020

8/10
