If The Tenant hit the spot, these will too

One thread runs through both: paranoia
The difference: Easier on the tension than The Tenant

The same hand behind both of them: Roman Polanski
The difference: Takes it somewhere less contemplative than The Tenant does

The same preoccupation in both: paranoia
The difference: 21 years apart, and the 1990s show

Tense where it counts, twisty underneath

Roman Polanski working the same nerve twice
The difference: Sits closer to horror than The Tenant does

Contemplative and paranoid in the same breath

Thriller built on tension, twice over

Both lean on melancholy more than on mystery

Dreamlike drama in both cases

Both keep coming back to the same thing: neighbor

Twisty thriller, and it commits to that

Mystery with a pulse of stillness, in both cases
