Not to be confused with the 2011 film of the same name, The Resident (retitled for the UK from The Sublet) is actually the latest horror film from Canadian genre outfit Black Fawn Films – the folks behind movies such as Antisocial and its sequel, The Drownsman and Bite. Their latest is less and out-and-out effects-filled horror a la Bite; instead relying much more on psychological scares and slow-brooding terror. And, despite falling into familiar territory, it works
The films follows Joanne and her husband Geoff, who move into a new apartment – and right from the get-go they should’ve known there was something amiss with their new place. After all, who would move into an apartment without meeting anyone to collect the keys And...

1967: the height of the Cold War. The CIA suspects there is a Russian mole inside of Nasa, sabotaging the Apollo program. They send two young agents on a mission to go undercover, posing as documentary filmmakers, there to capture Nasa’s race to the moon. The real mission – use their access and technology to hunt down the leak. But what they discover is far more shocking than soviet spies… Their government may be hiding a secret about Apollo that could define the decade, and the White House will stop at nothing to silence anyone who learns it.
Comspiracy theories. There’s a million of them. The biggest? That man never landed on the moon in 1969 and instead the whole Apollo 11 mission was an elaborate hoax.
