A tenant is unaware of what horrors and what dangers await her as her landlord develops a dangerous obsession with her.
The Resident isn't bursting at the seams with originality. The overall premise has been done to death a million times already. So what makes The Resident a better then usual offering in this sub-genre? Well, it's well made and well executed on every level. However, what takes it a step up from the normal is the performances. Hilary Swank makes for an appealing heroine. Christopher Lee contributes some solid support in his brief amount of screen time. The real standout, though, is Jeffrey Dean Morgan. He not only plays this part of a crazed admirer, he inhibits the part.
