If The Tenant hit the spot, these will too

The same preoccupation in both: paranoia
The difference: Missing the dream logic of The Tenant

Tense where it counts, twisty underneath
The difference: A 1990s film, from a different era of filmmaking

Both built around neighbor

The same hand behind both of them: Roman Polanski
The difference: Plays it as crime more than The Tenant does

Contemplative thriller, and it commits to that

Paranoia is the engine of both

Mystery with a pulse of tension, in both cases
The difference: Reviewed a good deal more coolly

Both trade on paranoia more than on being drama

Twisty thriller in both cases

Both are Roman Polanski films, and they rhyme
The difference: Leans horror where The Tenant does not

Mystery built on stillness, twice over

Both keep circling back to neighbor
