Let’s not mess around, The Whooper Returns is a terrible title for a film – which is why it’s been renamed for a wide US release as The Occupant (which isn’t that much better Tbh). It’s a film that takes the familiar tropes of haunted house stories and turns them on their head, creating a meta take on films like The Amityville Horror, if that film turned out to be based on a story made up by a mentally troubled housewife and her kids. Which might be the case knowing That franchise!
The Occupant opens in a faux-vhs style as we, the audience, watch a Halloween broadcast of The Whooper – a film based on the haunting of the Schepp family home.
