The Tenant

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.

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.

You know a film is bad when the producers get reviews deleted and post their own glowing reviews. All the good reviews here are from persons from Florida...hmmm!

This film has serious identity issues, despite paying homage to films like 'It's Alive', 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre', 'Frankenstein' etc, the writer/director is clearly devoid of any originality and throws cliché after cliché at the audience. It also goes from being gory and serious to comedic and back again.

It misses the only opportunity of originality again when a group of deaf (and seemingly mute) children show up. Instead of using their disability as an interesting new twist on old conventions, they are instead treated as sheep who are merely there to slow down and impede the others.

The plot also has two 'halves', which means you get to spend twice as long getting to know two groups of unrealistic characters. Some of the acting and dialogue literally had me laughing out loud. Some ridiculous casting choices are made, a balding, one legged Barney Rubble type is married to a hot woman. Some of the inmates at the mental asylum are...hot women. I'm certain a guy was the casting director here.

The 'hero' is one of the most unlikeable characters I've ever come across and appears to have the intelligence and personality of an immature schoolchild.

I'm uncertain of the budget but the film is fairly well shot and the special effects and sets are pretty good. It's just a shame that this creature feature suffers from multiple personalities and is let down by a terrible script and some bad acting along with some of the most hateable characters ever captured on film.

A totally shambolic effort. The creators of this film should be ashamed and crawl away quietly from this rubbish.

***I've had to re-submit this, as worse than writing false reviews about their own movie, the creators are getting bad reviews pulled due to being 'abusive', how pathetically sad.***

The poster is better than the movie ... Very bad. The film tells of a deformed maniac who kills young donkeys that invade an enclosure. The special effects are primary and the performances of the actors are ridiculous. The film is divided into two parts came to explaining how a creature and another creature itself killing everyone. The first part is boring.The second part is full of inexperienced young actors doing those mediocre performances. And the end? The most likely possible... I wonder if this movie was not made by a student may work ... college ... I can not believe a professional director has managed to film edit and release this movie ... Sorry my English

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!
