Mjeteconer Just perfect...

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

birgit_schuette It was kindof predictable, but I liked it anyway. I liked the scenes, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan did an excellent job seeming both wholesome and kind in the beginning, and super creepy later. I had to LOL when he borrowed her toothbrush and licked her fingers in her sleep. Def major creepo factor! But funny. Give it a watch if you're just in the mood for a thriller.

Filipe Neto This film reminds me a little of "Panic Room" and other films that, mostly, happen inside a house and whose action focuses on the fear of intruders. These two elements are the axis of the plot, in which a newly single nurse has just moved into a new apartment, in a rental business that seems too good to be true: a spacious apartment in a central New York borough, for a surprisingly low price. And to make everything even more appealing, the owner of the apartment she is going to rent is an attractive bachelor who seems to be interested in her. As the Portuguese use to say, "when alms are too much, the poor distrust". When something seems too good, there is reason to suspect that something bad is hidden. After all, the landlord will prove to be a dangerous maniac, who spends his time spying his new tenant for holes in the walls. We've seen things like that before, haven't we? Its not difficult to imagine the course and conclusion of this plot, or is it? Well... the big problem with this movie is precisely that: from the moment the audience catches the plot's main theme, everything becomes too obvious and predictable. Worse than that is the fact that both, villain and heroine, are a little stupid in the things they do. I think characters were poorly thought out and poorly constructed.As for the cast, Hillary Swank is a consecrated actress with two Oscars on the living room shelf and Christopher Lee is equally respectable (though he doesn't have much to do here). Their talent isn't in question. Lee Pace is good enough for the small role he has in the film. In contrast, Jeffrey Dean Morgan seems to be a poor actor, and he seems to act like a counterfeit copy of Javier Bardem, looking to be like a Latin lover or a "wine bottle seducer". Too cliché, sorry.

marcels-17454 This film is very simply about a creepy weirdo with serious mental health issues, he becomes obsessed with this woman and does what he can to get close to her. A shockingly simplistic plot, the entire film is completely void of any element of complexity.Hilary Swank ( Juliet ) redeems the lack of a story line, lack of detail and absence of other characters and insight into their character, with her convincing performance and own terribly likable character.This is an okay, average B-grade movie, with no real component of intellect to the story line. Entertaining enough to watch if it's what you have, a bit predictable, maybe a little difficult to engage in just because there is only surface value to the characters from what you see, and a lack of them to make things very interesting.Fortunately there is just enough, albeit not much element of suspense, in order for this film to be just passable in the quality and watchability department. I wouldn't recommend it but I wouldn't advise against it either.. It's something at least remotely entertaining to watch, that won't add any value to your life.

p-stepien In the deja vu land of recycled horror motifs comes a reboot of sorts for the legendary Hammer Studios. Cheated and needing a change of scenery Dr. Juliet Devereau (Hillary Swank) seeks a new apartment to fit within her 'meager' earnings as a New York surgeon (poor girl). Seemingly per chance she is offered a spacious apartment in a building owned by the charming, if somewhat off-beat Max (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and his eerie grand-father August (Christopher Lee). Given the affordable cut-rate price Juliet decides to move in. Voyeuristic camera angles soon however suggest that someone lurks behind the wall of the apartment following every move of the unwitting object of obsession.Barely featuring the slightest hints of originality retreading well known thrills "The Resident" fails to offer any fresh resolution, somewhat surprising that Swank decided to personally attend to producing the stale script material. Disjointed at best the sole saving graces are the distinctive crazed gazes of Christopher Lee, which brings quality within his limited screen time, and a decent outing by Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Max is initiated as an intriguing well-defined introvert with severe social disability, perfunctory suggestions as to his strongly skewed upbringing giving some slightly contrite backdrop. However any psychological depth offered by the oddly affable, if deranged, Max takes a hit, when the movie takes a utterly predictable turn into "Fatal Attraction" brutal denouement, throwing any pretence of a more complex thriller into the rabbit cooker.Derivative at best Swank fails to truly register, instead showing up as a cardboard character with no real impact on proceedings. And not even showing off a bit of naked flesh helps her case (or the movie in general for that matter). Several high notes of suspenseful build-up are registered, but far more memorable is the completely misplaced moronic concept to do a 'flashback' sequence, which 'unearths' the depths of Max's obsession. Not only is it overly long rehashing multiple scenes already shown to extend runtime by some 5 minutes, but additionally it is strikingly redundant, as the flashback adds absolutely no meat or true reveal to the story.
