A young couple gets more than they bargained for when they buy an historic bed and breakfast in New England only to discover that the old house is hiding a dark secret within its walls.

The story develops through regularly-placed reveals of clues and information about the history of the house, but with the absence of direct explanation, so often expected by on-demand viewers the viewer is expected to think, to ask questions and to construct their own ideas about the house and its inhabitants - are they protecting the owners, the house, or their survival? How reciprocal is the relationship between the inhabitants and the owners of the house? The soundtrack is minimalist, although the "spirit presence" chords are overly repetitive. It is hard to find anything truly original, as there are only so many rearrangements of plot details and stories. What we found refreshing was the realistic pace - passage of time, how the characters pass their time is more realistic than many movies. Face it, regular life is mundane and we have our daily routines. It is this aspect that the film captures and that some, who want a succession of revelatory thrills and shocks will sorely miss. Yes, the plot is derivative, but the style is subtle. If you expect CGI gore-flecked action go somewhere else. If you want a more nuanced, human-paced chill, this is worth a view.

I enjoyed every minute of this film, scary? yes plenty to make you jump. Good acting makes you believe it is really happening and a very atmospheric theme, I don't give out any plots because I think you can read all about the film itself on places like IMDb but suffice to say my review is what I see from an audience point of watching. I listened to it through my headphones so I maybe heard more sounds than the average viewer, good plot jumps in the right places even when you expect something to happen it is still unnerving. Good directing from the Rasmussen brothers {the ward and dark feed}give it a try you may be pleasantly surprised.

As films go, it's not too bad but certainly not as wonderful as previous reviews would have you believe. It's often the case with lower budget films that the acting isn't the best and this is no exception. Although the plot is an interesting one with real potential, it starts out as an interesting concept but just doesn't have the script to carry it off. There were no real 'Scares' or moments that made me jump and I found the films progression quiet formulaic and predictable. I've seen a lot worse, but I've also seen a lot better - It makes a change to see a film in this genre that's free of blood and gore, even though this is a rather average offering at best.

I've seen this movie more times than I can count. And I can count to infinity! Or so I was told.Well, I never approved to the sentence "you've seen this movie before", yet, The Inhabitants brings absolutely nothing new on the table. It is the same old story, about a haunted house, where things happen exactly as you would imagine, ends the same and that's about it. Lousy effects, poor acting, weak dialogue, extremely over used plot and most likely 90 minutes wasted. Without stretching it too far, this particular movie wouldn't scare anyone even in the 70's to be honest. And it is a horror movie!Cheers!
