Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

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.

Vinicius Scarpa This is simply the worst film i've ever watched. The Super Cliché, not creative, Bad acting and even worse script ingredients, make this film unwatchable.I don't know how, but i managed to watch this to the end. But only to laugh out really loud. I was already disturbed with the bad quality of this movie, and when i thought it couldn't get worse, the final line simply made me cry.The infinite Flashback is already ridiculous, but i was surprised how the second part of the film is incredibly worse!The good comments about this are obviously fake. I really don't know if i laughed more with them, or watching the movie.Don't wast your life with this.

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.

glorifiedcameraman1 Been reading these reviews and It is very funny how obvious some of these trolls are, lol.I was told this film was finally out on DVD, but I guess not just yet..., I had seen it in Orlando at one of their screenings and I thought it was a solid flick. It wasn't perfect, but it was a great throwback to the old "scientist and monster" films that Hammer studios used to put out. No it wasn't a quick cut, ADD crap film like the ones we see weekly, or one that the retarded SAW fan boys will like. But it was a well constructed, well shot, and actually a well acted film. For the budget, it is quite an achievement. Unfortunately some of the younger "horror" fans might not like the pace, or the fact that the film actually has character development...but, please, if you do wonder around here looking for a review... (and if you are..why?, these forums are mostly infected by morons with nothing to do) do yourself a favor and go to a legit review site, not a forum.Again, THE TENANT is good solid effort, and one that plays out very well with a crowd, as I witnessed. Check it out when it comes out....ah, and please don't download illegally!!!, wait for the damn film to come out!
