There is so much brewing in the setup that it’s a shame that the final twists and reveals are a little boilerplate. Nevertheless, A’zion holds the fort all the way to the end...

The Inhabitant wants to be a gory whodunnit in the vein of Scream, but is so half-assed in its execution that it takes over an hour of the film’s 95-minute runtime to figure out writer Kevin Bachar’s true intent.

In watching The Inhabitant, you're getting a hodgepodge of genres in one film. Directed by Jerren Lauder, there's elements of a horror film, a supernatural film and a murder mystery, but somehow it works to a satisfying degree.

"The Inhabitant" is clever horror movie that also leans into teen angst and family drama. It’s a sophisticated murder mystery where the body count isn’t increasing for no reason in this psychological horror film that is as intelligent as it is scary.
