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.

Philimac19-300-712012 I started an IMDb account just to review this movie. So let's see here:1. I have never seen a movie where the back story took 45 minutes. I've seen movies where the back story was the entire movie, and the ending brought you to present day, or the back story took 5 to 10 minutes then brought you to present day, but this movie was two terrible movies lumped together in one big God awful abomination. The weird thing was it starts at present day for 2 minutes, then goes to the past for the first half of the entire movie. Heres the first 45 minutes: Doctors wife is pregnant. Doctor has crazy nurse who wants his penis. Nurse injects Doctors wife with crazy steroid horse face formula. Thats it. Heres the rest of the movie: See No Evil. But with deaf kids. 2. The woman who takes care of the deaf children is racist and here's how I know. Whenever a deaf kid gets abducted(slowly) the woman does everything in her power to get them back. When the mongoloid hits a black kid and takes off with some deaf girl, the woman follows him to get the girl back. The whole group completely left that deaf black kid to fend for himself for like 15 minutes. I had to rewatch it to make sure I understood. The creature walks into the room. Yeah, walks. Everyone stands up like "Oh no.... should of picked a room with a door or something" and the black kid tries to run out of the room when the creature throws him down. A small fight ensues between the beast and Lou Diamond Phillips's brother, then the creature runs away with a deaf girl and they straight up leave that black kid. As the movie goes on they don't even mention his whereabouts or the fact that he exists. Seems legit. Then when he does come back into the movie, freaking out waving his hands all willy nilly the woman just yells at him, and that was pretty much that. 3. This was one Baldwin brother away from being on the SyFy channel.

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

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!
