The Occupants

About This Movie

So, 'The Occupants' is pretty interesting in how it tackles the themes of trauma and redemption. Lucy, the main character, is haunted by the past - not just her own but the echoes of a violent family tragedy that took place in their new home. The atmosphere is thick with tension, especially as her dedication to helping others becomes a double-edged sword. The pacing has this slow build, which makes the eventual reveals hit harder. Practical effects are utilized well, creating a tangible sense of horror that feels grounded. The performances, especially from the leads, add a layer of sincerity that makes you invest in their plight. It’s not flashy, but there's something hauntingly effective about it.
