The Inhabitant

This is a terrific film. More thriller than horror but very effective with stellar performances. Challenges the entire horror genre with a smart balancing act of leaning towards a mental health crisis amid a haunting - with the central character- played by the outstanding Odessa A'zion. An incredibly fresh and original take on the Lizzie Borden lore. Very impressed by the filmmakers for how they handled this material. The entire cast shines here, I just wish they did more with the boyfriend, played by the charismatic and uber-talented Michael Cooper Jr. The sky is the limit with this kid! The sound design and score was particularly effective. This film was even better the second time I watched it!

..but this girl almost ruined the new Hellraiser for me and now this movie didn't do her any favors either. The film is an extremely tame horror movie that can be shown uncut on any children's channel, with the only real horror being the lead actress. I really want to like her but I just can't, I don't know if it's her delivery or her mannerisms or her look or just her acting in general but I cannot watch anything else with her in it, at least if it is as mediocre as this film. This is just another cookie cutter horror movie that had potential and just failed to deliver; if you know your budget is low, at least go for good FX and lots of gore, the sillier the better. And, better luck next time, Odessa, I really do want to see you in something I can like in which I can also like you.

I had not heard about this 2022 horror movie titled "The Inhabitant" prior to stumbling upon it and sitting down to watch it. Of course with it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, then I had to watch it.

The storyline in "The Inhabitant", as written by writer Kevin Bachar, was sort of bland and mediocre. Sure, "The Inhabitant" was a watchable movie, but you're not in for a horror feast here. The movie is very mundane and forgettable. And while I did manage to sit through the 97 minutes that the movie ran for, I was only mildly entertained.

The cast ensemble in the movie was okay, and there were some familiar faces on the cast list with the likes of Leslie Bibb and Dermot Mulroney.

Visually then you're not in for a grand cinematic experience. But then again, "The Inhabitant" is not really a movie that requires a whole lot of special effects or CGI to function.

For a horror movie then "The Inhabitant" felt monotonous and sort of bland. It is definitely not a horror movie that I would suggest horror fans to rush out and get to watch. Nor is it a horror movie that I will ever return to watch a second time. I am sure that newcomers to the horror genre might get a kick out of this movie.

My rating of director Jerren Lauder's 2022 horror movie "The Inhabitant" lands on a four out of ten stars.

Horror movie of 2022. It is so heavy and boring that I could watch the movie in 3 days by taking a break every day. The audience already knows what will happen from the beginning. Even the acting was unprofessional. An ordinary movie about the cursed family, with a so-called mysterious murderer with an axe, and a leading role with strange facial expressions. It means there is fear when you show two drops of blood. In the movie, the family is so disconnected. Until the middle, I watched the father as a stepfather and the mother as an aunt. I have brainstormed for nothing. The kind that can be said to be disliked even if it is a daughter or a son.

There is no sex or nudity in the movie.

This is very much your average, run-of-the-mill horror/thriller story. There isn't too much to say about it honestly. It wasn't exceptional and it wasn't unentertaining... it just was...

I feel like it definitely could've been a bit less predictable and that would've helped it out some, also throw in a little more spookiness. It wasn't all that scary. Also, the twist was certainly nothing to write home about either. Again, none of these things were great but also not offensive.

The best part of this movie by far was the casting/acting. I don't think it would've achieved even the moderate success that it possessed without this cast and their performances, bravo. Would recommend, but very indifferently haha.
