The Tenant

The only reason I'm writing a review is because I'm ticked off an hour of my life was conned out of me.

The premise and the IMDb rating got me interested enough to check it out. I stuck with it for one hour until I realized that is was an hour I will never get back and damned if I would poison my memories of all the great or decent horror movies I saw, with a movie that should have opted to be campy and maybe saved itself.

I have to agree with other reviewers that the 10/10 reviews it has were obviously from vested interests.

At the top of the what is so awful about this I would have to place the blame on 1. The directing: Ric La Monte(the ceaseless melodrama burned me out and made me not care) 2. The writing: also Ric La Monte (Started out with my kind of premise but it soon became clear the writer knew next to nothing about medicine, suspense, mystery or building empathy for characters. 3. The acting (Justin Smith played the only character that I wanted to give a damn about but, lets just say when he took a break from the film the only ones left I could care for were 4 deaf mutes, many of whom signed like they were competing to see who could make the worst shadow puppet.

Unless you enjoy watching painfully bad slashers with lousy effects while on so much mind altering substance(s) that you will not remember that you watched it, do yourself a favor and pass.

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.

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.

What a shame - this could have been so much better in more capable hands. The writing and direction here falls very flat as well as some of the "porn level" performances.

The story however is an interesting if somewhat schizophrenic one. A weird mix between it's alive and a slasher film the biggest problem with this film is the pace- it's all over and it's often dull which a gruesome slasher film shouldn't be.

A shame since the film looks good - is technically slick with solid effects work and has some very novel ideas - what a pity - better luck next time though guys. Some lame plot contrivances here and there but overall it could have been much worse, but should have been much better.

This review is as schizophrenic as the pace of this film :)

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
