    A solid indie

    Been reading these reviews and It is very funny how obvious some of these trolls are, lol.

    I was told this film was finally out on DVD, but I guess not just yet..., I had seen it in Orlando at one of their screenings and I thought it was a solid flick. It wasn't perfect, but it was a great throwback to the old "scientist and monster" films that Hammer studios used to put out.

    No it wasn't a quick cut, ADD crap film like the ones we see weekly, or one that the retarded SAW fan boys will like. But it was a well constructed, well shot, and actually a well acted film.

    For the budget, it is quite an achievement. Unfortunately some of the younger "horror" fans might not like the pace, or the fact that the film actually has character development...but, please, if you do wonder around here looking for a review... (and if you are..why?, these forums are mostly infected by morons with nothing to do) do yourself a favor and go to a legit review site, not a forum.

    Again, THE TENANT is good solid effort, and one that plays out very well with a crowd, as I witnessed. Check it out when it comes out....ah, and please don't download illegally!!!, wait for the damn film to come out!

    Terrible movie with no redeeming features

    This film is dreadful.

    I'd find it hard to enjoy even if I were a fan of cheap & nasty horror films. It really doesn't have a niche. The best description I could give is that it's a really poor late-night TV movie with horrendous acting. I would estimate that 97% of the movie has that 'gripping' horror score playing in the background. So overdone its laughable.

    The plot is poor and unoriginal, the effects are pretty cheap too. It's full of the usually horror clichés and attempts at building tension.

    I generally find IMDb scores to be a pretty fair grade to go by but this one has really slipped through the net. There is no way on earth that this junk deserves a 7/10 (at the time of writing this).

    I can only hope that people are joking.

    Not bad enough to be recommended

    This feels like a three-part story which could have been told in 15 minutes, but was extended to what feels like three hours.

    The overall story was good enough and it was easy to follow the story but it was just too long and lacked much of interest. New characters were introduced by they were not expanded, no reason to care about them. Scenarios which came up did not seem very plausible. It seemed like each act was written as a complete movie.

    In this day an age, you can make a shorter movie and distribute it digitally or something, no need to draw out a story longer than it needs to be.

    Anyhow, about the actual movie... I enjoyed watching it with friends, but not as much as a movie that was "trying to be bad" or not as much as an actual good movie. It was my friends, rather than the movie, that gave me any enjoyment... so if you want something to help you bond, that you don't have to pay much attention to, them maybe this would be okay.

    Otherwise, just skip it.

    Rubbish

    The review on IMDb for the awful B grader was rated at a 10 out of 10, I am sure that person either works for the makers of this crap film or has poor eye sight.

    The blood and guts looks like it is done in some one's garage, filmed by a 10 year old, acting is like those cheap 70ish and 80ish films we used to be bombarded with. The sound/music is terrible.

    I am 30 minutes into this film and felt compelled to give my spin on this crap, and yes as soon as I am done typing this review this film will be deleted.

    1 out of 10, I would have given it a zero, and it is in the running for the worst film of 2011, and damn that list is getting bigger and bigger.

    And this has been re-admitted due to some one not liking the truth being told about this rubbish, could it be you that worked on this film?

    AND IMDb I AM SICK OF THE FACT THAT YOU DELETE MY REVIEWS FOR NO OTHER REASON FOR IMDb PROTECTING THESE RUBBISH MOVIE MAKERS, I NEVER EVER USE BAD LANGUAGE, JUST RAW HARD TRUTH IF A FILM STINKS OR IF IT IS BRILLIANT, BUT IMDb ONLY DELETES REVIEWS WHEN YOU KNOCK A FILM ON HERE.

    Bad, but not in a good way.

    Well, yes this was a waste of time. I made it an hour in, I feel like I deserve an a award. I also only watched this due to it's high rating, I should have looked at the reviews, obviously by family of the crew. This film is wholly disappointing. Cliché ridden, poorly acted, atrociously scripted. It is dreadful, and I usually like terrible films. Unfortunately this is bad for all the wrong reasons.

    As I need to fill the review out to 10 lines I would just like to say.... DON'T BOTHER! Watch Rosemary's Baby, watch The Hills Have Eyes, dig out some horror classics and enjoy yourself. Just don't watch this film.
