Negative Positive
Title: as the world turns
Review: For reasons that are unknown to me, this movie is coming up as horror. As someone that has seen more than 500 movies in all genres of horror I can empathetically say that "Occupant" is in a league of its own. Instead it's about a guy that will cut himself off from the outside world to get his granny's old apartment (what some people won't do to get a rent controlled apartment in New York is beyond me). Filmed on a shoestring budget the movie has a very underground quality to it that is dark and somewhat surreal, although this adds little to the overall insipid plot. The fact that it's only available through VOD and not on blu-ray should have been a tip-off that it's a poorly produced movie. Van Hansis wasn't bad but he didn't project the type of emotion that one goes through as they suffer through utter dementia. Watching him was like watching a racecar get from zero to one-hundred without getting to fifty or seventy-five.
Is the review positive or negative?
