Well to be honest i like these type of movies. The movie went well and keep you interested however there is nothing special coming. Lead actor Javier will get all back without a hiccup which is annoying for me other than that its a good watch. i enjoyed it.
Spanish thrillers are quite something. The moral code might feel off for many and there is quite the wrongness to a lot of things happening. But the moviemakers do not judge, they just tell. And sometimes that means as a viewer you don't know which direction the movie is going.
Also it is quite evil to make us feel sorry for a character who is not "good" by a long shot. Having said, the story is quite entertaining and our main character is intriguing. We get his struggle, but do we also get his decisions and actions? That is up to you to decide ... but the movie itself is really having you on the edge of your seat. Someone wrote the movie him anxiety ... without even reading the whole context, I totally get it. This is not easy and mostly not pleasant (in a traditional sense)

The film has a simple premise, but it is strengthened by another stupendous performance by Javier Gutiérrez, who along with Antonio de la Torres are, in my opinion, the two best Spanish actors in recent years. Javier Muñoz represents the decline of the perfect life of a man, who longing for his best days, decides to ruin the perfect life of that man who he understands has taken his place and has taken away what has belonged to him during all the past years. It is still a perfect portrait of thousands of men who, longing for a perfect life, decide to do whatever it takes to achieve their most pathological wishes. It is incredible what the most twisted mind of a human being is capable of when it seeks to achieve what its own mind has idealized, in this case, a perfect home with all it's components. It is not a perfect movie, it does not have a 'punchline', but it is sustained in another masterful performance by Gutiérrez.
Occupant is a film that some people call spanish parasite,and even if they are some similiarities this film also has some originality in it and it had a very strong performances and a very good and mind opened film,occupant is one of better foreign film this year and with platform,spain proved how they can make some great but some disturbing staff and put it in a film,but that is just a plus from me,twists and ending in a movie are also made with a lot of quality and precise and it paid of in end,occupant was a very good watch for me and i had in most of time blast watching it and i recommend it to people interesed in it
I see this as a Spanish parasite. Every time Javier intrude his old home it gave me anxiety on whether he's gonna be caught. It is a riveting psychological thriller on a man who do anything to gain power, with awesome performances.
