The Tenant (2011)

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Decades ago, Dr. Walter Newman faces a moral crises, continue on with his grand but macabre experiments in an attempt to cure all diseases or save his marriage to the cuter mother of her child. Fortunately (or unfortunately given one's deposition) his nurse has no such dilemma and seeks to continue the experiments in secret. Experiments that have dire effects for the doctor's unborn child.This B-movie actually wasn't too bad until about 40 minutes in it morphed into an uninspired, by-the books slasher. Basically if you choose to watch this movie, do yourself a favor and just flip it off at the moment that the movie switches over to the present day. You'll save yourself some time and will possibly like the movie better that way.

This movie was terrible in every way possible. why two middle aged women are fighting for a mad scientist experimenting on human heads and making little income anyway is beyond me. Add that to the fact that the "flashback" lasted forty minutes, the actors sucked and couldn't use a more inventive word than 'dummy', the effects were poor and the plot was predictable and terribly thought out. 2 of the 4 people I was watching this with actual left the room. To sleep. The people didn't even seem concerned when one by one their friends were picked off or their brains picked out, but this was probably due to the terrible (and more than half deaf) characters. who don't even try to find weapons or escape and are more worried about hiding the dead bodies. I actually created an account on my phone just to say how much it sucked. If you choose to watch it anyway..good luck.

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 :)

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.
