Maddie is a college dropout and jobless. Her mother passed away recently and her dad left when she was 2. Maddie goes to stay with her Aunt Grace who lives in a secluded ranch house which also has a cute guy living next door and a wacked out husband named Paul who also acts as landlord for their home and their other properties. Aunt Grace is a photographer and she has an assignment in Africa so Maddie can stay while she's away rent-free until she can find a job. But Paul doesn't like it and does nothing to make her feel welcomed. In fact, as the movie progresses and Maddie discovers secrets about the house. Paul, and another girl who was a tenant there, he tries a lot of stuff to scare her and get her to leave!!! This movie had lots of continuity flaws and plot holes, overacting and a bad script. Couldn't wait for it to be over. Skip it!!!

Maddie may have her personal demons, being nearly destitute and unable to remain in college because of such tough courses as microbiology. But this film demonstrates that she is nonetheless a survivor.

Her fortitude is put to the test with her so-called landlord Paul, the husband of Maddie's Aunt Grace. Paul was diagnosed with "erotomania" after he became smitten with the model Kacee whom his wife Grace was using in her photography. The psychiatrist who made the diagnosis was later apparently murdered by Paul.

But the truth is much worse because it turns out that Paul is a necrophiliac, having murdered Kacee and placed her carcass under the boxspring of his queen bed. From time to time, he airs out the room out with lavender.

It is on that very same queen bed that Maddie couples with the neighbor Kevin with both parties unaware of what was under the mattress. It seemed bizarre that Kevin and Maddie were not content on the bed in her room. Like moths attracted to a light, they were driven to Paul's bedroom and that portentous queen bed.

Early in the film, it becomes apparent to the viewer that we are in the genre of horror when Maddie takes a bath and blood comes pouring out of the spigot. Later, Maddie's bestie Layla is taking a shower, and the inevitable is about to occur that is reminiscent of Hitchcock's "Psycho."

The crude dialogue of "Landlord from Hell," as well as the preposterous situations, resulted in a film caught in limbo between dark comedy and full-blown horror. This was an uninspiring and lackluster film.

The plot was ridiculous. I had hopes based on the description, bit the entire thing made no sense.

"Maddie" drops/flunks out of college and goes to stay at her aunt's free place. The aunt is having issues with her husband (Paul) and also tells her there is no tv, internet (really?) or cell service. But there is a landline!

Blah blah boring plot with a creepy Paul lurking, a "hot" neighbor and typical Lifetime plot. And how did the aunt get back from Africa so quickly?! Lol

I'm sorry to say this, but the actress Emily Villarreal is AWFUL. With a valley girl voice bordering on Britney Spears twang and just poor skills, she made the movie worse. Just bad The actor playing Paul was ridiculous. So over the top, almost a cartoon villain.

I usually like the "so bad they are good" Lifetime movies, but this was just bad. Do not recommend.
