Movie Reviews of The Tenant
Movie Review: I'd go crazy too if shelly winters was my landlord
Summary: 5 Stars
polanski films should be watched chronologically. the tenant stars polanski and documents his ascent into madness. after taking the flat of a girl who committed suicide, polanski, due to his own isolation and psychosis, begins to question his own sanity and blames it on everone else. the beauty here is that the film never allows the audience know what is real and what is concocted until its climax that, at first, resembles a comedy of errors, but develops into an incredily eerie disposition.i will have the galouises please, i don't care for marlboro either
Movie Review: I'm scared just thinking about it....
Summary: 5 Stars
Without a doubt, one of the most disturbing and unsettling films ever made. No cheap scare tactics here, simply raw psychological terror. For younger viewers it may bring to mind modern classics like Blue Velvet or River's Edge--both excellent films--but Roman was here first and he does it best. Turn on all the lights, lock all the doors when you watch it. Better yet, watch it in broad daylight. No.... Really, it won't matter when or where you see it, it will scare the bejesus out of you. Guaranteed. Yet another forgotten gem of a film.Movie Review: Polanski at his best!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Tenant" is not everyone's cup of tea. If you enjoy Roman Polanski, this small 1976 film is truly a masterpiece. To tell too much of the plot gives away a great deal. It deals with madness, tragedy and is truly a creepy movie. There is also a great deal of humor and wit. A standout cast including Isabelle Adjani, Melvyn Douglas and Shelley Winters lend tremendous support to Polanski's riveting performance.Not a film to watch late at night when you are alone.
Movie Review: Roman Polanski's "The Tenant"
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Tenent" is one of Polanski's many successful horror adaptions. Roman Polanski as an actor is at times a little wooden, but the film stands alone for it's faithfulness to the novel and a unique atmosphere of mounting dread and disquiet that so many of today's horror films sadly lack. Shelly Winters and Joe Van Fleet also give very good, yet understated performances in this small, but terrifying thriller of identity crisis and paranoia.
4/5*
Movie Review: The creepiest movie ever made?
Summary: 5 Stars
I had never even heard of this movie before I saw it on A&E one night but it hooked me quickly. It might be the creepist movie I've ever seen and proves that Polanski makes as effective an "everyperson" as Mia Farrow did in "Rosemary's Baby". The most fascinating thing about this movie is that you aren't sure what is really happening and what is simply paranoid delusion. In any case, this movie is a masterpiece of disorientation and unease.
