The Inhabitant

This is very much your average, run-of-the-mill horror/thriller story. There isn't too much to say about it honestly. It wasn't exceptional and it wasn't unentertaining... it just was...

I feel like it definitely could've been a bit less predictable and that would've helped it out some, also throw in a little more spookiness. It wasn't all that scary. Also, the twist was certainly nothing to write home about either. Again, none of these things were great but also not offensive.

The best part of this movie by far was the casting/acting. I don't think it would've achieved even the moderate success that it possessed without this cast and their performances, bravo. Would recommend, but very indifferently haha.

Bit of scare jumping you will achieve if youre a wipsy tipsy woozie that hides behind the pillow to protect your own insanity. You will also be able to acclaim a newborn horror diva, playing the tara caracter, the most saffire blue eyes and a curled up scare crow like hairdo, that reminds me of my wife in her best moments(shes all white now...)...

but a horror classic this film will never become, i like the abruption of silence and gory scenes that hits you, and i clap my hands together for a decent horror soundtrack, but the story is very bad told, the plotspeed far too slow, and the ilitterate logic that makes classic horrormovies classics lacks from a -x, so chop your eating sticks, and headon for something else if youre hungry for horror, a tiny little recommend from the grumpy old man, the inhabitant will be inhibited for further analysis, maybe they make a spinner...

The Inhabitant performances are terrific. Odessa, Leslie, Dermot and even Lizzie Broadway in a support role are fantastic. And Mikhail the neighbor is very creepy. But the best might be the caretaker lady at the Borden house! Would have given it a 10 but I don't think Lizzie Borden had such striking looks. Still, the script is very smart with unpredictable twists and turns. And gave these actors so much subtext to work with. Very effective sound design throughout helps keep things straight. Loved the mystery moving inside and out of the main characters head. The gore is subtle, quick and effective.

..but this girl almost ruined the new Hellraiser for me and now this movie didn't do her any favors either. The film is an extremely tame horror movie that can be shown uncut on any children's channel, with the only real horror being the lead actress. I really want to like her but I just can't, I don't know if it's her delivery or her mannerisms or her look or just her acting in general but I cannot watch anything else with her in it, at least if it is as mediocre as this film. This is just another cookie cutter horror movie that had potential and just failed to deliver; if you know your budget is low, at least go for good FX and lots of gore, the sillier the better. And, better luck next time, Odessa, I really do want to see you in something I can like in which I can also like you.

I had not heard about this 2022 horror movie titled "The Inhabitant" prior to stumbling upon it and sitting down to watch it. Of course with it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, then I had to watch it.

The storyline in "The Inhabitant", as written by writer Kevin Bachar, was sort of bland and mediocre. Sure, "The Inhabitant" was a watchable movie, but you're not in for a horror feast here. The movie is very mundane and forgettable. And while I did manage to sit through the 97 minutes that the movie ran for, I was only mildly entertained.

The cast ensemble in the movie was okay, and there were some familiar faces on the cast list with the likes of Leslie Bibb and Dermot Mulroney.

Visually then you're not in for a grand cinematic experience. But then again, "The Inhabitant" is not really a movie that requires a whole lot of special effects or CGI to function.

For a horror movie then "The Inhabitant" felt monotonous and sort of bland. It is definitely not a horror movie that I would suggest horror fans to rush out and get to watch. Nor is it a horror movie that I will ever return to watch a second time. I am sure that newcomers to the horror genre might get a kick out of this movie.

My rating of director Jerren Lauder's 2022 horror movie "The Inhabitant" lands on a four out of ten stars.
