DVD Movie Reviews

As far as creepy thrillers go, The Resident ranks right up there with the best of them, especially when you factor in the top notch cast in two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (affectionately known as Denny from TV’s Grey’s Anatomy). Yep, with that line-up, you pretty much know that you’re set for one exceptionally entertaining flick. Juliet’s (Swank) just been through a painful break up with her boyfriend and her work as a doctor in New York City gives her the opportunity to make a clean break from her cheating partner. Soon, she meets Max (Morgan), her new landlord who’s seemingly an all-round nice guy. But there’s a reason her new apartment is so cheap to rent: it comes complete with a stalker (that’d be Max). The Resident is an effective thriller that’ll have you looking over your shoulder every now again – especially if you happen to be living alone.
