%%* MindScrew* MindScrew: Hell yeah! The protagonist observes increasingly weird events, including his neighbors standing in the toilet for hours, the toilet covered with Egyptian hieroglyphs, his neighbors playing football with a human head, and a double of himself standing at his apartment window. It is never made clear how much of this is a result of SanitySlippage and how much is actually real.
* MundaneHorror: Basically the gist of the whole "apartment trilogy"; see MindScrew.

Trelkovsky(Creator/RomanPolanski) has moved into a Paris apartment, where the previous tenant committed suicide by leaping to her death. Now, he's starting to think his new neighbors are trying to push him to the same act. As for the audience...we don't know what to think.
