The Strange Inhabitant

This is one great movie, but it is not really a classical horror film with cheap thrills or jump scares. Rather, it is a much more serious exploration of all things related to an entity that protects a cursed object, in this case a medallion (the relic).

This is a work of love, for all the people involved in this movie and a product of years of very elaborate and tedious research into the historical context and origins of the concept, The stories about the legend of the inhabitant is the true horror, the truly scary thing about the whole thing.

The characters are very believable and so are their story arcs.

Highly recommended.

I am huge fan for this kind of fantasy movies, either TV series and many other b movies, i was looking for more background for the characters but the story was fine, the effects was fair, not big budget movie effects but not the bad, I would give 8 as I can see this is a good movie, and we don´t see many movies like this anymore, wich is bad, because this genre has so much to give to the audience yet, this movie tries that, and mixes lots of creatures and power of the dark days so i was pleased with that.

The sets are good, the soundtrack is fine, with nice build up on suspense.

Like the narrator of the movie, has he estabilishes the lore for the curse.

The movie's narrative is uncomplicated and relatively straight-forward: A knight called Joseph his sent on a holy mission by the bishop to return a stolen artifact, that belong to the templar order, but what he will find on his way is lots of turks and creatures, that work on their own evil doings, he and his fellow knights will be tested in faith and honour by the path they choose, the creature that hides in the shadows is very well done, pratical effects rule here.

I think the inhabitant is a very dark creature that needs to have more movies, it´s on the say path as the nun, the effects are a little cheesy, but they don´t hurt the movie, as the story itself gives the audience what they want.

As for me, i´ll give it an 8.

It's got a pretty cool concept going for it even if it's not executed as well as it could've been.

The creature is unique in that it is more like a supernatural force for a majority of the film.

We get some interesting deaths scenes, the invasion of the castle is well orchestrated and full of nods to other classic stories.

It's still not the greatest thing ever but it's a fun time and has a lot of elements that make it worth checking out.

For a low-budget effort, however, it is well made, but i wish it would be better, with more horse fighting scenes and more dark lore to the inhabitant curse. 8/10.

With a cast comprised of screen veterans and relative newcomers, this movie brings sorcery, dark powers and true nobility will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. After a gripping prologue which establishes the legend of the inhabitant, we see our hero travel to dark land in search of the relic that the creature has in his powers killing some turks to get it.

These moments, however, lend a much-needed lightheartedness to a movie that keeps your heart pounding almost nonstop, and the caliber of the acting and directing keep it from going over the edge.

It's not the standard winter movie fare, perhaps, but it's definitely spellbinding.
