What it's about:
Juliet (Hilary Swank), a beautiful doctor, has found the perfect New York apartment in which to start a new life, after separating from her husband. It has spacious rooms, a spectacular view and a handy, handsome landlord. But, there are secrets behind every wall and terror in every room as Juliet gets the unnerving feeling that she's not alone. She is being watched. She is being stalked. And no one is safe when she discovers the relentless horror on her doorstep.
How do you stop an evil that you can't see?
What the critics thought:
"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."
- Philip French, The Guardian
"Isn't exactly groundbreaking stuff, but if you're looking for Friday night thrills, The Resident should do the job."
- Catherine Bray, Film4
"It's a Hammer horror all right, but not in a good way."
- Derek Malcolm, This is London
