Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express 04/02/2019
2.5/5
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. Go to Full Review Philip French Guardian 03/14/2011
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. Go to Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard 03/11/2011
2/5
Swank works hard but the Oscar-winner must wonder what she was doing in this hokum. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 07/31/2023
2/4
Much of the problem here resides in the one-note characters designated to the common tropes of damsel and psycho. Go to Full Review Jason Best Movie Talk 12/05/2020
The Resident is atmospherically shot but the predictable script doesn't supply enough twists to whip up truly nerve-jangling tension. Go to Full Review Joseph Proimakis Movies for the Masses 09/29/2011

HMF B Feb 14 So predictable, has been done before See more TT H 08/23/2024 Normally good actors but they couldn’t save a plain old predictable plot. See more 06/06/2024 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. See more Mark B @Mbindon 02/24/2024 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. See more Julie R @JulieDR 07/03/2023 Wow this was bad. I watch anything starring Hillary Swank, but I suppose every great actor has done at least one awful film. See more ian b 02/24/2023 Not the best film I have seen but it does drag on to its obvious conclusion. See more Read all reviews
