lucky not being the resurrection of the legendary Hammer. First was a remake (decent, but the remake after all) of the Swedish "Let me " and now a pseudothriller very own desktop for Antena 3, entitled "The Resident , who has returned to Today this important creative horror films and thrillers.
Specifically, this second title, starring Hillary Swank and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, is to tarnish the name of such a reputable company and make us fear the worst for subsequent titles.
Telling a story that Jaume Balagueró soon release a greater and better use with " While You Sleep", "The Resident " recounts the arrival of a new home of Juliet, a young doctor who tries to forget his recent separation. Enter into a relationship with his lovely home, Max, a guy behind him a depraved behavior.
"The Resident " take the elements typical of the genre and ruthlessly crushed endlessly repeating situations that serve only to the brilliance of the star of "Million Dollar Baby ." Thus we find a girl alone in an apartment continuously exposed to a threat that we know from the first minute (and yet an extensive flashback then a couple of minutes we will highlight), thumping sound seeking scare easy, elderly neighbors those who suspect and strategically hidden corners where spying. Elements that the script does not sort consistently and with an inexperienced director (the newcomer Antti Jokinen) can not play. The embarrassment becomes ridiculous when presences such as Christopher Lee, living legend of the mythical company, are reduced to nothing (it is especially worrying as an actor of his stature is suddenly removed the display because the script does not know what to do with him) and when the final sequence elongadisima attempts to fill the footage of a story that would not even for 80 miserable minutes.
Thus "The Resident " whose tricks seem, a priori, feasible for a minimally interesting film turns out to be an embarrassing and laughable thriller highly suitable as a television product medium hair and not the label title Hammer as a whole.
Trust " Wake Wood", a ghost story filmed in 2009 and "The Woman in Black , a Victorian horror starring Daniel Radcliffe (AKA Harry Potter) comes to fix the mancillación to a production so beloved by fans of genre cinema is suffering.
