This darkly comic crime thriller follows a tyrannical landlady in Hemet, California who lords it over her tenants during an epidemic, pitting them against each other in a web of paranoia spun for deadly results.

About Boulder

The “Liz” makeup Butler wears makes the character look like Granny Leatherface, which is in no way a criticism. If there’s a primary reason to give this film a shot, it’s to watch Butler’s nightmarish performance as Liz.

Truthfully, I can't really say that Hemet worked for me. I never really liked it. I never really hated it. I was consistently intrigued by it and admiring of its unique cinematic voice.

Rated: 2.0/4.0

A campy little indie nugget of joy, liver spots, and all.

Rated: 6/10

Loud and Clear Reviews

A lot of Hemet, or the Landlady Don’t Drink Tea could have landed a lot better if its characters had been explored more, but by the time the film ends we know little to nothing about them and, therefore, find it hard to care about what happens to them.

Rated: 2.5/5

Film Threat

Watching this movie is like going to a stand-up comedy show and seeing someone get up on stage with a guitar. You might laugh, though, if you’re on bath salts.

Rated: 3.5/10

…a biting, scabrous, no-holds barred satire that aims to take down the American/capitalist dream in bloody, unpleasant fashion…

Rated: 3/5
