Review of The Tenant (1976) by Martin T — 07 Jan 2010
This completes Polanski's unofficial "apartment horror trilogy" and in my opinion, it's the best of them. Delightfully creepy in all the right places, with just a dash of black humor.
The ambiguity is great: is it all a paranoid delusion, or is he the victim of an occult-like (Rosemary's Baby-style) conspiracy? In the end, both possibilities seem equally plausible. Polanski himself does a fine job in the lead role, although I can't help but wonder if someone else might have been a little better.
