The Inhabitant is a 2022 American horror film about a teenage descendant of Lizzie Borden who is caught between paranoid visions – and festering schizophrenia amid a series of small-town murders.

The Steelyard Pictures production stars Leslie Bibb, Dermot Mulroney, Odessa A’zion (Hellraiser), Lizze Broadway, Ryan Francis, Todd Jenkins, Jennifer Rader, Michael Cooper Jr, Kenneisha Thompson, Mary Buss, Jackson Dean Vincent and Krista Perry.

Reviews:
“What makes this film stand out is the way the writer and director have woven the supernatural into a tale of teen angst. Tara is, to a great degree, a normal teenager facing separation anxiety, mean girls, and sexual frustration. The Inhabitant is a psychological thriller with supernatural overtones that delves into the psychological underpinnings of an insecure teenager. It works on all levels. ” Easy Reader

“If I had to compare it to another movie, I would say The Inhabitant most closely resembles a female-driven version of Psycho II, a total compliment from what I consider to be one of the greatest year-later sequels ever made. Whether you come for A’zion or Borden’s macabre connection, The Inhabitant is a surprisingly fun October slasher treat.” 3.5/5, Josh at the Movies

“Apart from some scenes of Tara looking up legends about the Borden murders online (being sure to highlight the parts we’re supposed to notice) and a trip to the Borden house with her boyfriend (played by Michael Cooper Jr.), the entire concept of some connection to that history feels more like a marketable hook than a developed idea. Ultimately, The Inhabitant is nothing more than a game of obfuscation, deflection, and intentional confusion.” 1.5/4, Mark Review Movies
