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.

Hemet, or the Landlady Don't Drink Tea is a delightfully campy crime/thriller that possesses thematic relevancy.

... tar-black comedy and terrific practical effects underpin a blunt but impactful satire on modern America ...

Rated: 15/20

... an entertaining farce that would’ve felt so far from the truth if not for recent history cementing otherwise.

Rated: 3.5/5

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
