The Inhabitant was an interesting mix of both the Slasher and the Psychological thriller genre. It tells the story of the ancestors of Lizzie Borden who become possessed by her spirit and go out on a murder spree against those who they felt wronged them. The premise was interesting although at times it failed to keep my attention. I think that parts of this movie were a little too slow, however it did lead to an amazing climax.
The acting was amazing as too was the writing. You weren't always sure what the characters' motives were and some things were shown in subtle ways making you question what exactly was going on. It was the little things that brought the most to the film. The characters being three dimensional and having substance.
The end, too, was shocking. I didn’t see it coming, however after it got there I was amazed that I didn’t pick up on it sooner. Once you know what’s happening does it become blatantly obvious but the film does a good job of hiding it. Showing just enough to keep you guessing.
This was one of the films that I doubt most people will watch more than once however it is a film worth watching. As long as you go into it not expecting the next great thing in horror you’ll probably enjoy it.
