There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
Blistering performances.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
The basic setup of THE TENANT uses a classic genre plot-line. To its credit, the production has added some twists and turns that make the movie not only very innovative, but well-timed, too. The acting and cinematography were also superb. What I don't get is that despite the top-notch reviews from the world's top horror web-sites, some IMDb geeks are unjustly slamming this movie with unqualified and vicious comments. As this movie has only been released in the USA, based on their locations, these people must be viewing it as a pirated, illegal download. Shame on you, and please return to your village as its idiot is missing...
Do not waste your time with this film. I usually find some saving grace in films that others term awful but not with this one. It was almost interesting at the beginning of the backstory, but then that backstory took 40 minutes to tell, about 30 minutes too long with an awful character like the Dr. The character was very unbelievable. How can someone so "simple" (as they called in in the description) become an MD in the first place, much less one who is conducting scientific research. The character was just plain stupid, you couldn't understand his actions and therefore couldn't have any kind of connection with him.The second half (present day) was worse. The only character I felt I could connect with was the leading female. All the rest were poorly written. There is absolutely no suspense. Do not waste your valuable time. I would have given it 0 stars if possible.
I liked this film. You will too I think if you like to be scared and also like surprise turns in a movie. The whole setting is just scary as "heck" to start with - what could be more creepy than an insane asylum?! I don't want to give anything away, but you're gonna see a really freaky creature...actually a couple of them. And being locked up in a dark asylum with only candle power, knowing some members of your group are getting terrorized by this freak - well, it makes for some real nail biter moments to say the least! And there are some surprises you won't believe! I LOVE it when a movie takes a different turn than what I was expecting, and there are a couple of real "gotcha" parts of this story, especially towards the end. The acting and the music and all that are pretty awesome, but being a fan of horror films, I have to say the special effects are SO cool. After you see this, you'll want to sleep with the light on!!!
Creating a film from start to finish is an amazing accomplishment within itself. Now creating a film that you are proud of and it exemplifies the essence of your genre, then a true miracle has happened. Now that being said, I believe that just like an exquisite meal needs the right ingredients so does a film. It needs a good story-line, three dimensional characters and most importantly an iconic villain. The TENANT has the right ingredients. A powerful story-line, interesting characters and a KICK ASS villain. This film truly was a recipe for greatness!
