Resident Demon

About This Movie

Resident Demon has this gritty, unsettling vibe that lingers with you. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it builds a palpable tension that’s hard to shake off. The premise of a newlywed couple finding themselves sharing their home with a vengeful spirit of a serial killer is intriguing and delivers some chilling moments. The practical effects, while not always top-notch, have this raw quality that adds to the film's authenticity. Plus, the atmosphere is drenched in dread, especially as you see how the ghost manipulates the couple. Performances are decent—nothing groundbreaking, but they carry the weight of the story effectively. It’s that blend of domestic life turned nightmarish that makes it stand out in the crowded horror genre of the early 2000s.
