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!

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.

There are plenty of great slow burn horror movies.

This is definitely not one of them.

I'll start with the good. Parents are clearly trying their best to carry the film, Dermot Mulroney and Leslie Bibb. The main actress is ok, which may be more of an indictment of the writing than the actress herself, since I thought she was good in Hellraiser. Practicals are good, but they use so many damn quick cuts they are normally wasted.

Everything else is pretty bad: we have the cinematography trope of "person is going crazy here's some quick cuts of blood", characters with odd motivations that don't make sense, subplots that are damn near irrelevant or exist to serve as red herrings.

By the end of the climax of the film I just couldn't care less what type of twist was coming.

This seemed like a pretty boiler plate slasher that tried and failed to be something more.

Bit of scare jumping you will achieve if youre a wipsy tipsy woozie that hides behind the pillow to protect your own insanity. You will also be able to acclaim a newborn horror diva, playing the tara caracter, the most saffire blue eyes and a curled up scare crow like hairdo, that reminds me of my wife in her best moments(shes all white now...)...

but a horror classic this film will never become, i like the abruption of silence and gory scenes that hits you, and i clap my hands together for a decent horror soundtrack, but the story is very bad told, the plotspeed far too slow, and the ilitterate logic that makes classic horrormovies classics lacks from a -x, so chop your eating sticks, and headon for something else if youre hungry for horror, a tiny little recommend from the grumpy old man, the inhabitant will be inhibited for further analysis, maybe they make a spinner...

..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.
