Help me remember a movie title...
Earlier this year, I read two reviews (one by Stephen King in EW) about a movie, but now the title escapes me. It's apparently a very quiet, slow-moving movie about a woman who suspects she's being stalked. At some point her dog disappears. And then something horrible happens the night she plans to move away.
Anyone have any idea what it's called? Thanks!

"Entrance"
Stephen King: My Horror Obsession 'Entrance'
The author was so spooked by the recent indie ''Entrance'' that he decided to write about it for us

This is a very interesting low-budget—almost no-budget—film. Suzy (Suziey Block) is a pretty young barista living a barely middle-class life in Los Angeles. She has a roommate and a lovely dog named Darryl. For the first 60 minutes of this scant 84-minute movie, we see her going through her routine, almost the same every day. It becomes clear that she is disconnected from any real, vital life but perhaps too emotionally numb to be lonely...although she senses something is wrong. She brings a fella home from a bar and stares blankly up at the ceiling as he makes love to her. No distaste, no disgust, also no excitement or pleasure.
Little by little, we realize that something is VERY wrong with Suzy's life. Her dog goes missing, and this becomes the emotional center of the movie. I was deeply moved by her halting efforts to get him back and by her breakthrough sadness. There's no movie music, the actors are not professional, and for long stretches, nothing seems to be happening. But my anxiety built up almost to Blair Witch Project levels. You know something awful is going to happen, and there comes a point when you wish it would, so you could relax. Finally it does. I was really astounded by how much the filmmakers (Dallas Hallam and Patrick Horvath) did with so little, especially when Horvath's only other picture was a slasher job called Die-ner (Get It?). Entrance is available on iTunes, and will be out on DVD Sept. 11.

The IMDb reviews are largely inauspicious, but I'll give it a quick look. (Who the hell needs Netflix?
