horror · Short Films · english

After a long drive, a man arrives at his new accommodation and receives a warm welcome by a friendly roommate. The apartment turns out to be better than expected and the situation so far seems to be going well, until a strange noise in the middle of the night wakes up the protagonist. Things appear even fishier when the door to his room seems to be locked from outside, while the noise continues to break the deathly silence.

Once the events have been put into motion, there is no stopping them as the plot development goes ahead to prove. From a refrigerator stocked with meat to the brim to the strange cooking of the roommate who had once seemed welcoming, things come to a head until the protagonist discovers a deeply disturbing secret. Will he truly be able to find his way back from this place of no return?

The Tenant endeavors to invoke horror in the viewer, and works towards it in a dedicated fashion. It, however, stands to gain from more stable and controlled visuals.
