Audience Member What terrible dreck! Such an obvious twist and godawful acting from everyone, including David Arquette. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Even though it has a good start, it gets very flat and predictable almost all the movie; but has a good and uncommon plot twist, Arquettes 's psycho character performance is not bad at all Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Arquette does a great job here, needs t play this type more often. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This film was called the tenant for some reason in the UK but over all was a poor film start off fairly well but tends to fade out and becomes really poor which lets the film down in the fact that you know who the villain is as such from the off and there is no shock factor. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm in desperate need of a nap after sitting through that film. http://trust-the-dice.blogspot.com/ Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member ( A movie that started out good, then went wrong) I've seen horror films do this before. This film had an excellent hook and was off to an amazing start. But as we head towards the end of the movie it gets confusing and complicated to follow. Not only that, but some questions aren't even answered throughout the film. The acting is good until the end. In the end it all falls and collapses into a big mess of badness. It uses John Carpenters' style of horror by not showing any gore like in Halloween (1978). In the end of course there is lots of gore and brutality, sadly enough having David Arquette in the film didn't help. The way in which his character (Robert Mars) is written and portrayed is just weird and somehow just confusing to me. This movie probably lies within my new top 12 worst horror movies, or maybe even just movies in general period ever made. But for horror movies definitely in my top 12. A complete disaster for an ending and everyone's right, spill the bucket, the ending made the whole movie suck. Note: I gave it three because the start was amazing.
