Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Onlinewsma Absolutely Brilliant!

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

BooFez The Tenant takes you to Edgewood Asylum where Dr. Walter Newman (Randy Molnar) is experimenting with genetics to try and find a cure for genetic mutations. Dr. Newman remains oblivious to the fact that his nurse, Ms. Tinsley (Sylvia Boykin), is so obsessed with the doctor that she would do anything to make him happy. Before Dr. Newman knew what was going on, his worst nightmare becomes reality.Directed by Ric La Monte, The Tenant, gives us a look at how mutation can affect an individual and the ones around them. This movie needs a lot of work. The story was mediocre and mixed with weak acting that really showed. I could never really get into the feel of the movie for a couple reasons. Character development was non-existent. Half of the movie focused around the doctor and the other half focused around a group of deaf children running for their lives so, we never had time to truly understand them. Liz (Aerica D'Amaro) and Jeff (J. LaRose), the heroes and the chaperone's for the deaf children, didn't draw me into the feel of the movie, I found myself very detached throughout.The camera and lighting work was done fairly well. I recall a scene where the mutated being was bashing a wall and the camera would shake with each swing. They did a nice job on the design of the mutated being, wasn't too cheesy and actually peaked my interest when we finally got a look at him.Overall The Tenant wasn't the worst movie I have seen. It had its moments with the mutant but isn't going to make me go out of my way to find another movie directed or written by Ric La Monte. There are far better movies from this genre if you are looking for your inner mutation.

roberthaynes What a shame - this could have been so much better in more capable hands. The writing and direction here falls very flat as well as some of the "porn level" performances.The story however is an interesting if somewhat schizophrenic one. A weird mix between it's alive and a slasher film the biggest problem with this film is the pace- it's all over and it's often dull which a gruesome slasher film shouldn't be.A shame since the film looks good - is technically slick with solid effects work and has some very novel ideas - what a pity - better luck next time though guys. Some lame plot contrivances here and there but overall it could have been much worse, but should have been much better.This review is as schizophrenic as the pace of this film :)

filmlover12-135-945371 Did not really know what to expect with this film and once I got into it saw that it was really a good quality independent film that has some interesting story lines and characters. I'm a real horror fan and see lots of these films. Thought this one captured the whole dilemma of the Doctor doing genetics experiments in his asylum that pretty much go wrong and then has to figure out what to do. His evil nurse, Tinsley, is pretty awful and you really feel bad for the Doctor's situation. The film flashes forward to modern day with young people who get trapped in the old asylum where the Doctor did his experiments and something is still there that is not quite right. If you like surprises and a story with a little more to it than your standard horror film, you will enjoy this one.

djerutan The poster is better than the movie ... Very bad. The film tells of a deformed maniac who kills young donkeys that invade an enclosure. The special effects are primary and the performances of the actors are ridiculous. The film is divided into two parts came to explaining how a creature and another creature itself killing everyone. The first part is boring.The second part is full of inexperienced young actors doing those mediocre performances. And the end? The most likely possible... I wonder if this movie was not made by a student may work ... college ... I can not believe a professional director has managed to film edit and release this movie ... Sorry my English
