Must See Movie...
Disappointment for a huge fan!
Absolutely the worst movie.
This feels like a three-part story which could have been told in 15 minutes, but was extended to what feels like three hours.The overall story was good enough and it was easy to follow the story but it was just too long and lacked much of interest. New characters were introduced by they were not expanded, no reason to care about them. Scenarios which came up did not seem very plausible. It seemed like each act was written as a complete movie.In this day an age, you can make a shorter movie and distribute it digitally or something, no need to draw out a story longer than it needs to be.Anyhow, about the actual movie... I enjoyed watching it with friends, but not as much as a movie that was "trying to be bad" or not as much as an actual good movie. It was my friends, rather than the movie, that gave me any enjoyment... so if you want something to help you bond, that you don't have to pay much attention to, them maybe this would be okay. Otherwise, just skip it.
This is simply the worst film i've ever watched. The Super Cliché, not creative, Bad acting and even worse script ingredients, make this film unwatchable.I don't know how, but i managed to watch this to the end. But only to laugh out really loud. I was already disturbed with the bad quality of this movie, and when i thought it couldn't get worse, the final line simply made me cry.The infinite Flashback is already ridiculous, but i was surprised how the second part of the film is incredibly worse!The good comments about this are obviously fake. I really don't know if i laughed more with them, or watching the movie.Don't wast your life with this.
Enjoyed the classic feel of this independent horror film which was kind of a throw back to the films before the whole torture horror craze like Hostel that are more about the death count than the story. This film focuses more on the story and characters. For those who enjoy a good story and blood/gore mixed in and fun surprises, they will really like The Tenant. Would recommend this one. For an independent, the film has high quality cinematography, sound, score and good make-up effects. The film had solid acting and some fun characters that make it enjoyable. Overall, I liked the film, the story and the characters and wanted to know what would happen in the end. So, if you like a good classic horror film, this is something you could really get into.
The Tenant is at its core a monster movie, but interestingly has something going for it that seems to be missing from most modern slasher cinema: strong story elements.This film utilizes a detailed backstory about a scientist running an insane asylum, who is trying to keep up his genetic research against his pregnant wife's wishes. Through a series of unfortunate events, his new offspring is born, and comes out more hideous and deadly then they could have imagined.It's through the detail and beautiful cinematography that keeps this title from being another run of the mill slasher film. The film has more of a maturity and style to it, then just the standard boobs and blood.I'd recommend checking this out, especially if you are looking for something to watch with your parents. It has the gore and suspense that every horror fan craves, but also the storytelling that an older audience can appreciate.
