Slumlord

A young couple move into their new home but their new neighbour takes prying to a whole new level.

This film isn't going to win any awards for originality but it isn't a bad film for its genre. Neville Archambault is perfectly cast as the ultra creepy landlord. In his case you really can judge a book by it's cover.

Although the pacing is maybe a little slow and repetitive it does at least build up the tension with a couple of really well done and creepy scenes.

The film never really goes anywhere but the ending at least tries something different.

This is just an OK film nothing special but not terrible either and being pretty short maybe worth watching once if you're at a loose end.

To say this movie is garbage would be an insult to garbage. I've watched pieces of rotting banana peels that have a more thought out plot and better written script. Every character in the movie has the IQ of a lobotomized turnip. The director was likely Kim Jong Un using an alias, who realized that unleashing this piece of crap on the world would cause more long term devastation than simply nuking us.

If you're considering watching this, I recommend getting a large tub of ice cream, swallowing it as fast as possible, and enjoying the brain freeze instead. Your head will be better off.

... Apparently I still need a few lines of text in order to submit this review, so I'm going to make a list of things that are better than watching this movie: - Small paper cuts - Having a little bit of nail hanging out that keeps getting caught on things - Being asked "Why are you so quiet?!?" - People walking in front of you then stopping spontaneously to check their phones - Writing reviews about how awful this movie was

60/100

This movie has a lot of common Horror tropes and has some foreshadowing that makes a movie a bit predictable, but other than that I don't really have any complaints. The movie was a fun, unnerving, creepy ride. From the lead character and his brazen infidelity & wondering when it was going to catch up to him, to the basement being sound proofed just waiting for the right time to attack it kept me on the edge of my seat.

I don't know where to start with this movie. It's a low budget horror movie, so don't expect high quality camera work. That being said, the plot actually isn't half bad. The movie kept me engaged the whole time, which usually doesn't happen when I watch low budget horror movies on Netflix. The Gerald character is really disgusting- there are moments where I wanted to gag just looking at him. But overall, there are definitely worse movies out there.

It's not one of the best horror or suspense films, but for me it kept me interested to see what would happen at the end. If you're expecting a happy ending, don't hold your breath. But it makes you think if this is happening to you in your house/apartment/etc. I liked it for the weird/fear factor. Not everyone's cup of tea. Worth a view in my opinion.
