Q
Is 'The Resident' based on a book?
A
No, The Resident was shot from a screenplay by Robert Orr, Erin Cressida Wilson, and Finnish film director Antti Jokinen, who also directed the movie. The film was subsequently novelized by British novelist Francis Cottam in 2011.
Q
Any recommendations for other movies similar to 'The Resident'?
A
Viewers who have seen The Resident often compare it other movies in which a woman is being watched by a man who is obsessed with her. For example, in Through the Eyes of a Killer (1992), a woman has a brief affair with the carpenter who is renovating her apartment while spying on her every move from behind the walls. In Alone with Her (2006), a young man with a secret obsession for a woman plants hidden cameras and listening devices in her home. In John Carpenter's Someone's Watching Me! (1978), a woman realizes that she is being watched in her apartment but the police won't take her seriously.
Q
What did Max and Juliet mean when they were laughing about 'bliss'?
A
A few minutes earlier, Juliet told Max that she had hippie parents, and he asked whether she had a hippie name. She said no...her first name really was Juliet. He asked her middle name, and she wouldn't tell him. Later, as they were sitting on the park bench drinking coffee, she answers his question by saying, 'Bliss (is my middle name)', and they laugh because it was, in fact, a hippie name, as he suspected.
