How could he escape from his nightmares? —Tagline

Trelkovsky (Roman Polanski) has moved into a Paris apartment, where the previous tenant committed suicide by leaping to her death. Now, he's starting to think his new neighbors are trying to push him to the same act. As for the audience... we don't know what to think.

Tropes used in The Tenant include:

• Non Sequitur Episode: A lot of the suspense in this movie is drawn from incidents which make no sense whatsoever, ie. the tooth in the wall, the main character sitting in the dark dressed in drag.
• Mind Screw
• Sanity Slippage: Hell yes!
