The Ungrateful Tenant (2026)

Directed by Conor Bowden

“An anxious renter's housing nightmare becomes a slapstick odyssey.”

Comedy, Horror · 1h 18m

It’s 2026 Auckland, New Zealand, through the black-and-white lens of the German expressionist silent era. If it weren't for the online group chat and the overused electric heater, the city’s 100-year-old bungalows with no insulation would make you believe it’s the 1920s. The Ungrateful Tenant follows an anxiety-ridden millennial renter who dreams of one day buying his own house. When his paranoid frustration comes to a head, he kicks out his ‘nightmare’ flatmate, only to be struck back by instant karma, sending him on a cursed odyssey in and out of flats across Auckland. Experience the brutal absurdity of the housing crisis in slapstick fashion.
