![]() ![]() Hammer's final release during its peak period was this Anthony Page-directed, made-for-television remake of Alfred Hitchcock's 1938 film. If you loved The Resident, you might also enjoy: Sliver (1993) ![]() For his part, Jeffrey Dean Morgan proves to be a perversely twisted villain (this predates Negan's reign on The Walking Dead), and though one could have hoped for Lee being given more to do, it is lovely to have him on hand. Hilary Swank has consistently proven herself to be a stunningly adept elevator of schlock, an unexpected though welcome career path for her. The Resident is deeply indebted to the semi-erotic yuppies-in-peril thrillers of the mid-'90s, and it wears those trappings as well as any of its various inspirations. Hammer veteran Christopher Lee appears briefly as Morgan's father. The Resident finds Hilary Swank as a recently divorced doctor moving into her dream loft in Brooklyn only to discover that her landlord ( Jeffrey Dean Morgan) has a bit of an obsession with her. Hammer's second addition to its 21st-century canon is certainly an adult thriller, but one of a different shade than Let Me In, the film that resurrected the studio. ![]()
