Sorum

A cabbie moves into a new apartment, the residents of which have a tendency to come to bad ends. It's like he's living in Dolores Claiborne. His fellow tenants enter the scene, like a writer investigating what happens in room 504, and everyone has parent issues, whether they're an orphan or have "lost" their kid or their kid has died. It's at parts a horror film, and then a mystery, and then a romantic drama between the cabbie and his neighbor. But in the end, it's none of these things and it never resolves what it is. Things pick up towards the end, but it's too minimal a pay-off to justify two hours. This could have been a moderately interesting one-act play, but don't waste your time watching this.
