David Mamor’s debut film, the horror thriller 1BR, will have its world premiere at Fantasia in less than two weeks. The first clip from his film was released and we have right here for you.

In the clip, Sarah (Nicole Brydon Bloom) is woken up in the middle of night for a horrifying reminder about one of her building’s policies. 

After leaving behind a painful past to follow her dreams, Sarah scores the perfect Hollywood apartment. But something is not right. Unable to sleep, tormented by strange noises and threatening notes, her new life quickly starts to unravel. By the time she learns the horrifying truth, it’s too late. Caught in a waking nightmare, Sarah must find the strength to hold onto her crumbling sanity…or be trapped forever in an existential hell.

Horror films don’t come more instantly identifiable than 1BR… Marmor’s smart script and solid cast make 1BR one of Fantasia 2019’s top discoveries. Don’t sleep in this 1BR, but don’t sleep on it, either. – Matthew Kiernan, Fantasia International Film Festival
