A Movie Buff’s Delight For the Drama Lover.
December 13th, 2011 | 
Author: Movie buffs who have a soft spot from drama know all the popular drama movies (such as The Shawshank Redemption or Godfather). However, there are hundreds of drama films released regularly that do not get the attention they deserve. One of these films is The Resident.
Released in 2011, The Resident stars well-known Hollywood actors including Hilary Swank, Jeffery Dean Morgan and Christopher Lee. The story centers around Juliet Devereau, a young doctor, who movies into a Brooklyn loft after ending her relationship with her boyfriend. She begins to flirt with Max, the owner of the old apartment complex. However, she still has feelings for her ex and begins to see him once again. Max, who is more than a little unstable, becomes obsessed with Juliet interpreting her flirting for more than what it was. His actions slowly turn dangerous after Juliet continuously rejects his advances. As his emotions and rage continues to build, Max’s actions turn deadly and he will stop at nothing to have the object of his obsession.
Directed by Antti Jokinen, The Resident combines the drama genre with thriller undertones to bring an interesting tale of obsessive love. Even though The Resident will not go down as a classic, it is well worth the watch and should be considered when you are looking for a new film to check out.
