The Resident

Date of review: 18 September 2013

This film is a chilling psychological thriller about a landlord who develops an obsession with his new tenant. Fairly early on in the film (a bit too early in my opinion) it is revealed through flashbacks that it was no mere coincidence that she happened to move into that particular flat and as his obsession increases, so too do her suspicions. Things really take a turn for the worse when she starts returning the calls of her ex-boyfriend...it's a film that starts out quite mild but slowly builds up the tension in a way that even had me as close to the edge of my seat as I'll ever get. It has a very climactic ending which fits the film perfectly. If you enjoy tense psychological horror then this is definitely a film to watch!
