Occupant (2011)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

If I achieve anything in my life it is to make sure no one else has to endure this absolute load. I can't even begin to describe how terrible it was and I'm disappointed I didn't switch it off after 10 minutes. It had hope I'll admit. It got my attention at first but then it all went so sourly downhill.How did the Granma really die? Who killed the cat? How did the exterminator die? Was he possessed? Was he just insane?Also,WHATS WITH ALL THE CHICKEN WIRE?!Please. I urge you. Move along and find another film. This is not worth your precious time in life.

What we have here is a fairly routine "old dark house" movie, with all of tired clichés that just fill time but don't advance the plot, e.g., the shower scene with -- what, exactly -- rust? That's never quite clear.That said, I very much like the basic idea of this film. Van Hansis as Danny Hill is immediately likable. Steve Routman as lawyer Bertram Feinberg is also well-cast. But the cartoonish characters that fill out the rest of the cast suggest we're watching a dream sequence. Of course, that isn't the case.Where this film goes awry is with the whole paranormal angle. When writers get into the supernatural, all rules of logic are off and the audience always feels like the writer is cheating. To be fair, writer Jonathan Brett does try to insert some kind of subtle explanation about demons in text our hero is forced to read from the Bible, when there are no other entertainments available. We also do see the killer early on -- in silhouette in the doorway, when our blogger chick is panning around with her camera.I think this would have been much more satisfying to explore what a normal, 25-year-old guy would do when confined to an apartment for more than a week. What was the doorman's agenda? In the first scene, it appears he might have a sexual attraction for Danny, but that thread is never developed further. The blogger chick, clearly has some kind of hidden agenda, but that ball is dropped too. The landlord could have tried any number of interesting tricks to get him out of the apartment. There are lots of better possibilities than the paranormal here.The biggest plot hole is that Danny sees the killer on the blogger chick's camera at the mid-point of the film and does nothing about it. Here the writer cheats the audience out of the fun of figuring out the mystery (albeit a thin on in this particular plot).The suicide of the main character is a real letdown at the end. Audiences root for the violent death of someone who has been clearly established as evil earlier in the story; but here, we're still rooting for Danny to get this cheap NYC apartment right up to the end. We're left saying, "Really?" Too bad this script wasn't passed along to another writer or two for a fresh perspective and polish. It's a great concept for a low-budget film, but the audience is cheated out of a good time.

With the exception of the mirror scene this film is absolutely awful. The tension was manufactured and lead to nothing. Conflict in the movie? It never advanced anything and I grew bored of it. This film was disappointing, boring and went nowhere.While I was slightly sad at the end for Danny, I had not interest in him as a main character. I was most concerned about the pet. How is it that movies like this are made? This movie passes off odd and weird as psychological and it is hardly a thriller. If I could give this movie a zero I would. I wish I had not wasted my time on this film. Please save yourself the trouble and time and pass this movie over.

I saw this title on a website that I subscribe to and when I saw the reviews on IMDb I figured I would give it a try.I will say this, it is not a BAD movie. It also is not a great movie. It runs VERY slow and tries to build up the suspense.I had a feeling I knew what was happening from the beginning, but the movie just tries to pull your mind in too many directions.First, there is the creepy feeling the people around him give. Second, there is the building itself. Third, there is the feeling like something else is there.Don't expect to be scared by this film, but don't expect to be impressed either...
