A fresh take on the psychological thriller. TENANT examines the ordinary terror of living alongside strangers – the suspicion, the negotiation of shared space, the question of what happens behind closed doors.
Not a horror film in the traditional sense. This is slower, more insidious. The threat is not supernatural but deeply human – the neighbor who watches too long, the landlord who enters without permission, the sense that your home is not entirely yours.
The review explores how the film builds tension through mundane details – a parked car, a lingering glance, a lease agreement with unusual clauses. Everything is ordinary until it is not.
Part of an ongoing series reviewing contemporary films that deserve attention.
