*The Fifth Floor* (1978) is a psychological horror-thriller directed by Kenneth E. L. Russell. The film centers around a woman named Laurie (played by Dory Previn), who checks into a high-rise apartment building in order to escape her troubled past. However, she soon becomes trapped in a terrifying situation when she is targeted by a series of bizarre and disturbing events that seem to be connected to the building’s mysterious fifth floor. As Laurie uncovers more about the building's dark secrets, she becomes increasingly paranoid and unsure of who or what she can trust. Combining elements of psychological tension and supernatural horror, *The Fifth Floor* explores themes of isolation, fear, and the instability of the mind, though it has been somewhat overshadowed by other films in the genre from the same period. Despite this, it has gained a cult following for its suspenseful atmosphere and its eerie portrayal of urban decay and mental distress.
