Hammer have a long illustrious history of making camp gory horror films. Unfortunately their return doesnt stand up to some of their all time classics. The main problem with The Resident is the total lack of suspense. The film starts off promisingly enough with a suitably creepy apartment and sets up some bizarre characters with the underused Hammer stalwart Christopher Lee playing a neighbour harbouring some sort of secret. However his character is so fleeting he comes and goes with nothing happening in between. The decision to reveal the villain so early in the film is so badly judged it takes all the suspense and any creepiness of the situation out of it. The film then degenerates into a pretty standard stalker story with very little in the way of original set pieces. The characters have very little back story which does not allow you to care much for what happens to them. Thats not to say the film is a disaster. Its funs whilst it lasts and with a running time of 92 minutes, it doesnt out stay its welcome. Its just dissapointing as so much more could have been done with it. It could have been creepier, there could have been more of a mystery as to who the villain is if it had not been revealed in the first 30 minutes and certainly Christopher Lee could have had a larger role. A little more time over the story and characters would have gone a long way to making this a must see. As it stands this remains a film to catch if there is nothing better to see.

Much, much better than some reviewers would have you believe. If you loved Hammer's black and white thrillers of the 50s and 60s, then you'll love The Resident. The photography by Guillermo Navarro is beautifully shot and the direction is slick. The film reminded me of Hammer's The Snorkel, with its creepy, quite believable villain. The story builds the tension and has a satisfying end. The cast are all terrific here, with a lovely small part for the beloved Christopher Lee and strong performances from Hilary Swank and the amazing Jeffrey Dean Morgan! I would welcome more twisted thrillers from the revitalized Hammer. Check out the Icons Of Suspense set for a taste of what I'm talking about. All in all, well worth watching. My partner was suitably impressed too! Can't wait for The Woman In Black!!!

Hammer Films continues its revival with this sick little thriller starring the always watchable Hilary Swank. She plays a rather bruised city doctor who is trying to move on from her cheating husband (Lee Pace in a bland, underdeveloped role). She rents a beautiful loft apartment from Jeffrey Dean Morgan, where all kinds of wrong start to happen. Initially romantic between them, it is quickly revealed that Swank's new landlord is a very dark soul with a very unhealthy sexual obsession with her.

This is a straight-forward, old-fashioned thriller with a bit of an edge (you'll feel the edge when you see some of the things Morgan doesn't!) and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Hardly a classic but a great Saturday night in movie.

Christopher Lee's role is extremely minimal, but still a lovely tribute to the Hammer of old.
Swank gives it her all, as she does with any role she takes on and it is great to see an actress of her calibre trying out genre films like this, especially the jaded thriller. Grey's Anatomy fans may never look at Jeffrey Dean Morgan in quite the same way again. He is fantastic here, creating a character with depth, and a fairly realistic villain.

Looking at Hammer's official website, it doesn't look like they have any new films in production beyond their next, 'The Woman in Black' starring Daniel Radcliffe. Hoping they manage to keep going, as it really is great to have old-school spooky flicks back, in a way that only Hammer can deliver.

The new revitalised Hammer Films - or rather the company which bought the name and brand - had little luck with its first efforts to re-establish itself in the market. The interesting but not entirely successful Wake Wood was barely released and, despite starring a post-Oscar Hilary Swank, their second effort, The Resident, was shelved for two years before it eventually opened to bad reviews and worse business (in the US it went straight to video while in those countries it did get a theatrical release it went almost completely unnoticed). A throwback to the studio’s twisted psychological thrillers like Paranoiac, it’s not so much that it’s bad, more that it doesn’t give you much reason to see it or offer a rewarding payoff if you do. Which is a shame, because it’s well acted and, until the prolonged finale, well directed. On the rebound after the love of her life cheats on her, Swank’s ER doctor is looking for a new apartment and finds one that’s too good to be true - well located, roomy and what passes for affordable in New York. It even comes with a good looking and charming landlord in the form of Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Naturally it is too good to be true and she soon realises that her apartment isn’t exactly her own…

With such a small cast - aside from a couple of supporting characters, only Christopher Lee as Morgan’s grandfather gets more than a bit part - it’s not exactly hard to guess who’s lurking in the shadows, so the film reveals that fairly quickly to concentrate on how-far-will-they-go-before-she-gets-wise suspense instead. Along the way Guillermo Navarro’s cinematography offers a few nice moments of shapes unexpectedly emerging from the darkness but the finale is a curiously lethargic affair that drags the film down.
