Flat home to very familiar surroundings

The Resident Horror Channel, Thursday at 9pm ○○○●●

Originality isn’t The Resident’s strong suit; it plays like Single White Female in reverse, with a man and woman instead of two women, and an apartment block with hidden passages is pure Toolbox Murders.

Finnish director Antti Jokinen provides some visual flair, with wide/low angle shots and hyperactive camera work effectively exploring Brooklyn and the flat hosting most of the plot.

But early creaking floorboards and effective dark framing give way to Psycho-like peepholes and a join-the-dots last half hour.
