Courtesy of the Reel and IMDb--there's also a video trailer posted on the Reel site:A prying neighbor, a glassy-eyed drug dealer, and a husband brandishing both a weapon and a vendetta make up the welcome wagon. Set amidst the as-yet-unopened boxes and the hopes for a fresh start of two men on what might just be the worst moving day ever. Their new apartment reveals its terrifying history in a film that is by turns funny, frightening, and unexpectedly romantic...
Vincent D'Onofrio... Jan
Kevin Corrigan ... Zelko
Liane Balaban ... Irene
Jamie Harrold ... Peter

I downloaded this on ITunes for $1.99. Well worth it - it's a very entertaining little film. Quirky, funny at times, and VDO is very good as the distraught, angst-ridden husband. He does like to emote, and makes the most out of his small role. ;D

I can't believe no one has acknowledged that the New Tenants won the Oscar for Best Live Action Short last night. This was a great short -- dark humor is right. Very funny. It was the only short to get laughter and applause in the theater when I saw them. Congratulations for a job well done!

Thanks for mentioning this is on Youtube. It's a weird little film that I'd like a lot more if it had a real ending (g).
