1BR Reviews

Simon Abrams
There's a light at the end of the tunnel for Sarah, and seeing her claw her way to it is often fun, albeit in a gasp-inducing sort of way.
Slant Magazine
Derek Smith
The film gives palpable expression to the sense of hopelessness felt by those who fall under the control of cults.
Chicago Reader
Becca James
1BR's unique timeline paired with its palpable tension makes for a memorable addition to the horror-movies-about-cults catalog.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Angie Han
It's an interesting idea, the execution is competent if not spectacular... And it made me really glad to live in an apartment complex where I know none of my neighbors.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Drawing on a fascination with cults and utopian communities, the director and co-writer, David Marmor, has created a mildly entertaining survival story whose depiction of psychological indoctrination far outstrips its generic dips into torture.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
The new horror film 1BR uses the real-life experiences of Scientologists and those in NXIVM to paint a terrifying portrait of one woman's descent into cult madness.
AV Club
Katie Rife
Real-life details culled from ex-members' accounts of life in groups like Scientology and NXIVM give the film an edgy ripped-from-the-headlines quality, as well as reinforcing the sheer L.A. of it all.

Nick Allen
All of this boldness pays off-the film's third act might end at an expected place, but 1BR stands out with how it gets there, and the unique horror along the way.
Pajiba
Kristy Puchko
We're left with an undercooked premise, a lackluster lead, a grim tone, and a grueling pace that lumbers into an underwhelming finale.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
The premise remains intriguing enough to make "1BR" a qualified success, albeit one whose ideas sometimes cry for a more adventuresome and assertive treatment.
Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
A solid woman-in-peril thriller well suited to contemporary paranoiacs.
ComingSoon.net
Grant Hermanns
Marmor knows how to keep audiences quaking in their seats, delivering some truly tense and creepy moments as well as some that are sure to send chills down the backs of even the biggest genre enthusiasts.
Dread Central
Drew Tinnin
1BR questions whether it's a good or a bad thing to be told how to act. Sometimes, what seems like the perfect situation can wind up being a situation you'd kill to get out of.
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
The violence and torture that Sarah must endure are mostly committed off-screen, using sounds, like a hammer driving a nail, to make the tension, while not graphic, palpable.
Spectrum Culture
Josh Goller
1BR's modest success doesn't stem from an originality of ideas, but in its commitment to them.
Third Coast Review
Lisa Trifone
What's really the issue is that neither Bloom...nor the first half of the film's script seem willing to truly commit to the horrors of the sort of forced indoctrination it aims to explore.
Illinois Times
Charles Koplinski
Taut, timely "1BR" worth checking into.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
An unsettling psychological thriller.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
A notch above the usual American indie horror offerings, Marmor's narrative is certainly predictable, but efficient use of limited locations and calculated performances recalls a variety of arthouse horror icons.
The Lens
Andrew Wyatt
It might not be original, but 1BR is gruelingly effective.
