The Resident hits all the obligatory notes in a film that's so generic that you can tell what the characters will do next much before they are primed for it.

It's a conventional thriller, short on originality and red herrings but atmospherically lit by Guillermo Navarro, who won an Oscar for his cinematography on Pan's Labyrinth.

Swank works hard but the Oscar-winner must wonder what she was doing in this hokum.

Much of the problem here resides in the one-note characters designated to the common tropes of damsel and psycho.

The Resident is atmospherically shot but the predictable script doesn't supply enough twists to whip up truly nerve-jangling tension.

Normally good actors but they couldn’t save a plain old predictable plot.

The scenes never really left the building and it felt monotonous. Ended abruptly. Just felt kinda grossed out by the idea of it but no true emotion came from the film.

This is not creepy it is just gratuitous. Not a good movie at all. What a waste of Christopher Lee. Do not waste your time.

Wow this was bad. I watch anything starring Hillary Swank, but I suppose every great actor has done at least one awful film.

Not the best film I have seen but it does drag on to its obvious conclusion.
