Dr. Squid’s Smorgasbord of Terror Review
By Dr. Squid
“I got a big kick out of The Tenement and the main reason is that it kept me guessing. And for a guy who has seen quite a few horror movies, that’s a real compliment. While the execution is sometimes rough in terms of production values and acting, the clever stories in this horror anthology really make it sing.”
“Kudos to directory Glen Baisley and Light and Dark Productions for an entertaining horror anthology! Dr. Squid says check this one out.”
The Horror Review Movie Review
By Horror Bob
“The low budget gore is pretty good for what it’s worth and the film has a lot of it. There are also some elements of comedy that horror fans will enjoy, poking fun at or making references to other horror films is always a good thing. And there is enough nudity and good looking girls to keep any fourteen year old boy busy for two hours.”
Horror Talk Movie Review
By The Hitman
“The Tenement is a film which tells a series of good stories with intelligent twists. It’s also a film that is well worth getting hold of.”
Buried.com Movie Review
By The Gravedigger
“After seeing this film I can understand now why it won “Best Feature Horror” film in the Third Annual Putnam County Film and Video Festival. “
“This is a highly enjoyable and fun flick to watch. I would recommend it to anyone.”
Gonzoriffic Movie Review
By Andrew Shearer
“Light and Dark’s latest production “The Tenement”, has the right idea. Like any collection of great short stories, the horror is divided up into sections. It never gets dull, something’s always happening, the blood and scares come frequently, and the desired effect is always achieved. Not a moment is wasted, thankfully, and this construction makes for a solid movie-watching experience.”
“I recommend this film to anyone who enjoys a good twisted horror yarn, and who doesn’t like their intelligence insulted or time wasted. Thankfully, the filmmakers understand what it takes to really make a fright flick work. I was impressed.”

“4 out of 5 stars”
“Watch It! This is a film that should be seen and is worth making the effort to see. Get down to your local video store and pester the owners until they get it in. If they don’t, try other video stores. Beg, borrow, steal…. Whatever it takes to see this film. You won’t regret it.”

“All I have to say is WOW! This movie was pretty damn good folks.”
“I really enjoyed the story and I thought it was well written.”
HorrorHeads.net Movie Review
By Driller Killer
“The effects and makeup done by Decay NY FX and G & S Effects Co. were beautifully sculpted to add the dimension of, owwwwww that shit hurts.”
“All in all the acting was better than the normal b-movie endeavors and it had one hell of a story to back it.”
Horrorview.com Movie Review
By Head Cheeze
“The goal of the guerilla filmmaking enterprise is to prove that high quality films can be made outside of the Hollywood system... With The Tenement, Baisley [has] taken a step in the right direction.”
Bloody-Disgusting.com Movie Review
By Lyle Henretty
“The interesting elements of The Tenement prove Baisley & crew knew their horror movies, and has a wicked sense of horror and fun. Many of the special effects and camera tricks, along with the original “fake-out” beginning, show real promise.”
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
By Betty Jo Tucker
“In the mood for an unusual horror flick? Then check out The Tenement, winner of “Best Horror Feature” at the Third Annual Putnam County Film and Video Festival in New York. It’s gory, campy and scary – three important elements to fans of this genre. Focusing on the Evil existing in a tenement building, the films depict its impact on the lives of four individuals residing there over the course of two decades. And it’s not a pretty sight!”
Wooden Spoons Obscure Horror Film Reviews
By Rich Wolf
“Overall, this is definitely an enjoyable film. I thought there were some nice performances here with the characters of Ethan, Director Korman, and Jimmy in particular. In addition, there were even better ideas. The flashbacks and dream sequences definitely had some flash to them and are quite well done.”
Worcester Rocks (AM 1310 WORC) Movie Review
By Mark Mars
“A paranoid nerd who thinks he’s becoming a werewolf, a beautiful serial killer who preys on serial killers and the nefarious Black Rose Killer are just some of the inhabitants of The Tenement. The new anthology by promising newcomer Glen Baisley has all the dark wit and twisted morality of classic EC comics with all the self awareness and continuity of Stephen King’s interwoven short stories.”
“The Tenement is a horror film by a horror fan for horror fans.”
The Hacker’s Source Movie Review
By Eve Blaack
“Baisley has given us what I call a fun rainy day popcorn film. These are the b-films I love to seek out at the video store and sit back munching down curled up on the sofa on a stormy night and just suck in the entertainment value.”

“It’s obvious that The Tenement was made from the perspective of true horror fans who want to give back to the genre. I understand that, applaud that, and respect that.”
MonstersAtPlay.com Movie Review
By Paul Bistoff
“Although treading common ground, the stories presented here are not only entertaining; they actually transcend the tried and true horror formulas managing to be truly original as well. Effective in many ways this film will unnerve you, disgust you, and will even make you laugh. It's a wild and varied ride that offers some refreshingly unique looks at genre archetypes.”

“How excited are we about The Tenement? 7 Out Of 10.”
“While they may not be the most original of premises, as writer/director Glen Baisley does draw on a lot of horror movie influences, the basic stories are there for a good collection of horror tales.”
