Leave your thoughts about The Resident.
| Bangor Daily News (Maine)Christopher SmithIf all is right in the universe, the only good that will come out of "The Resident" is the murder of its director's career before it even starts. |
| Financial TimesNigel AndrewsSwank is pitch-perfect. Her large teeth were made for chattering, her large jaw for dropping with horror. |
| Filmcritic.comJules BrennerSwank has the wherewithal to make a panting madman reach for his tape and handcuffs. |
| Horror.comStaci Layne WilsonAs a critic I had some issues, but as a moviegoer, I was ensconced in every moment. Deft direction (and misdirection), keeps the tension ratchet-tight. |
| Time OutNigel FloydSwank is typically credible as a confident yet vulnerable professional woman, and Morgan is subtly convincing as the insinuating Max. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...a low-rent, hopelessly by-the-numbers thriller that is way, way beneath the talents of its Oscar winning star. |
| Screen InternationalBrent SimonDevoid of any believable motivations, Hilary Swank's The Resident trots out gender-based clichés of fear, resulting in a goosing stalker thriller that adds nothing new to the single-woman-in-peril subgenre. |
| London Evening StandardDerek MalcolmSwank works hard but the Oscar-winner must wonder what she was doing in this hokum. |
| Little White LiesEmma PatersonSo shockingly bad, it is really, extraordinarily good. |
| News of the WorldRobbie CollinThe Resident clocks in at a lean 91 minutes, yet I'd rather have had a longer film if it meant the bizarre gaps in the plot were plugged. |
