By the time blood flows and heads roll -- literally -- Tenants has already slipped and slid into the land of caricatures, offering comedy where it shouldn't.

Lusciously photographed and wildly uneven.

A great deal of mad, bad fun for the right viewer - while it might well turn off the average exploitation fan through its sheer weirdness, it's a bold slice of Grand Guignol

Rated: 4/5

"The Tenants Downstairs" is a great film that combines exploitation aesthetics with technical artfulness, in a very entertaining package that highlights both Adam Tsuei and Giddens Ko's prowess.

The Tenants Downstairs is a fantastic throwback to the Category III films of the 90's that will sicken, surprise and amuse many with its sexual deviancy, shocking depravity and sheer lunacy.

Rated: 4.5/5

A delightfully macabre sense of humour... helps alleviate the otherwise ghoulish subject matter.

This movie is by far the best I have saw in in while. Not sure why it is classified in Science Fiction & Fantasy but it is a story that requires you to think. If your focus is on the blood then you are missing the point.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Plot is well written, character is well-acted, screenplay and visual is good. The ending screws up everything nicely built from the start.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
