Review of Occupant

Occupant (2011)
5/10
Great effort but ultimately meaningless

The cinematography is excellent and the production overall is good, but the story just doesn't go anywhere. So many leading clues that just don't connect with anything. Random plot points that never solidify into anything. Great going through until you reach the end and realize there is no payoff. Disappointing. I was captivated all the way through because I've never seen a film with such great lighting and angles and overall greatness just fart itself into oblivion so meaninglessly. Why on earth didn't the creators do something with all the material they had? The potential is there, and if you were to miss the last few minutes you may just think it is a great film. It is only in the realization that the film goes nowhere do you realize the fatal flaw of this film.
