The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

The Resident (2011)

Director: Antti Jokinen
Starring: Hillary Swank, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Christopher Lee

Synopsis:
A doctor finds a too good to be apartment for rent. Later realizes her landlord is a bit off his rocker.

My Take:
Kind of the standard stalker story. It's fun to watch Jeffrey Dean Morgan go from smooth charmer to wack-job psycho in an instant, but its not enough to save the movie.

Rating: In the Middle (on the low end)
