The Resident (2011)

Seeking a divorce from her philandering husband Lee Pace, doctor Hilary Swank struggles to find a new place until she falls upon the perfect apartment. At least it was the perfect apartment until she discovers her find was orchestrated by creepy stalker Jeffrey Dean Morgan. I assume this is supposed to be a scary premise, but it doesn’t deliver in any regard. It does offer plenty of disturbing actions committed by Morgan which he carries off with aplomb. I sincerely hope that Swank’s character is more competent toward her patients, because every action she makes on screen is one of stupidity and listlessness. Pace is criminally underused as is Christopher Lee in what is sadly his last performance for a role that existed for no reason apparent to the plot.  Thriller
