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.

This feels like a three-part story which could have been told in 15 minutes, but was extended to what feels like three hours.The overall story was good enough and it was easy to follow the story but it was just too long and lacked much of interest. New characters were introduced by they were not expanded, no reason to care about them. Scenarios which came up did not seem very plausible. It seemed like each act was written as a complete movie.In this day an age, you can make a shorter movie and distribute it digitally or something, no need to draw out a story longer than it needs to be.Anyhow, about the actual movie... I enjoyed watching it with friends, but not as much as a movie that was "trying to be bad" or not as much as an actual good movie. It was my friends, rather than the movie, that gave me any enjoyment... so if you want something to help you bond, that you don't have to pay much attention to, them maybe this would be okay. Otherwise, just skip it.

There were quite a few moments in this film that stuck out for me and distracted me from the story. The main thing was that they established Newman's wife is barely 4 weeks pregnant. They then say that she knows she's having twins, can feel them moving, is showing baby weight and can see them with an ultrasound. Uh, guys, at 4 weeks an embryo is about the size of a poppy seed. This is the curriculum of a High School health class. It just bothers me that movies can be made, and have money put into them, and these kind of details are just ignored for simplicity's sake. I understand suspending your disbelief when watching a fictional movie, but at what point is it just lazy?

Why is this being reviewed if its not out yet?. Strange, strange. I caught this film at Comic Con, must admit I saw it from a screener on my laptop, not the best way to review a film in my book, but, it was like that. Came here to check out release date and I see all these lovely negative reviews. Wow. did you guys actually watch the film?. Guess TIME is something abundant in your lives..Where do I begin?, yes, The Tenant is actually a solid horror film. Director Ric LaMonte might not be the slickest director in the block, but I was actually intrigued with the structure of the film. The first half details the story of our protagonist, the scientist, and its only until the second half of the film that the real "horror" part begins. But I loved the first half more!, very moody, good acting, nice photography, pretty ballsy considering how pace has to be real fast now days.Overall, a very nice effort, and I know it should do fine out there. THIS is how an indie horror film should be crafted, with class.Not an Oscar winner, not even a classic, but a solid piece of entertainment. When it does come out, please give it a spin:)Peace out brothers and sisters.

I was lucky enough to see an advance screening of the film "The Tenant" & thought the story line & characters were very well developed. I wish more filmmakers these days spent more time developing a solid script before they start production. These film producers started with a great concept and a well polished script. The film had some known actors like Bill Cobbs (who happens to be one of my favorite actors), Michael Barryman, and J. Larose as well as other solid veteran actors including: Randy Molnar, John Kyle, Georgia Chris & Justin Smith who all gave solid performances. This film does not feel low budget at all, and serves up just enough blood & guts for die- hard slasher fans to get their fill as well. Overall I would rate the film 9 on a scale of 1- 10 and would recommend this film to anyone who likes a suspenseful movie. The cinematography by Jose Cassella (I have seen his camera work before) was brilliant and combined with the original music made the film move right along.
