The first one-sheet for THE RESIDENT can be seen below. It’s pretty lackluster, with Hilary Swank giant floating head taking up the majority of space, but I still get a kick out of seeing Hammer’s name on posters again. Their LET ME IN was solid, so let’s hope this one delivers too. Here’s the plot:
After separating from her husband, a pretty young doctor Juliet Dermer (Swank) moves to Brooklyn, settling into a new life in a stunning and spacious loft apartment that seems too good to be true.
It is…
Mysterious occurrences lead her to suspect that she is not alone in her home and quickly her fears become all too real. In a chilling revelation, she discovers that her seemingly charming, young landlord, Max, has developed a dangerous obsession with her. A terrifying game of cat and mouse ensues as Juliet fights to free herself from Max’s sinister intentions.
The film comes from Finnish director Antti Jokinen, who co-wrote the script with Robert Orr. Hilary Swank (below), Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Lee Pace, and Christopher Lee (his name may be tiny and at that bottom, but at least he received a nod on the poster) star.
The movie is described as an “erotic and sexy thriller in the vein of DISTURBIA and FATAL ATTRACTION.” It’s due out in theaters next Spring.
