Analysis of Article

The original article of Apartment 143 needed a lot of work. The article did not include the meaning of the word Emergo, the production companies, a detailed summary, rating of the movie, and a little more about the director/writer regarding this film. Even though the original article was very basic and "too the point," I decided to add these things that was not include in the original so that reviewers and people who want to know more about Apartment 143, will have a clear and detailed understanding of the movie.
