The Super is a 2017 American horror thriller film directed by Stephan Rick and starring Patrick Flueger and Val Kilmer.[3][4]

Phil Lodge, a retired cop whose wife has recently died, takes a job in a large apartment building as one of three live-in superintendents. He has two daughters, 14-year-old Violet and 7-year-old Rose.

Prior to moving in, Violet's favorite teacher was murdered in the same apartment building. Soon after Phil begins work, a series of disappearances take place, and Rose develops a strange fascination with one of the other supers, Walter, who, in addition to being mysterious, also happens to dabble in black magic. Phil begins to suspect that Walter is behind the mysterious disappearances.

It is eventually revealed that Rose is Violet's twin sister, and she died alongside her mother. She appears to Phil as a ghost and leads him to commit the murders in the building; Phil's victims see Rose just before they die. Walter's experiments with black magic are attempts to get rid of Rose's ghost.
