Occupant is a 2011 American thriller film featuring Van Hansis as Danny, a young New Yorker about to inherit an old apartment.
On October 18, 2011, the film was released on-demand in many cable systems and on most digital platforms (i.e., iTunes, Amazon, Blockbuster, PlayStation) in the U.S. and Canada.
Joe becomes his only contact to the outside world and brings him groceries, since if Danny leaves the apartment himself, the landlord could lock him out.
As the days progress further, Danny begins to suffer from cabin fever leading to delusions and hallucinations.
Danny now, set off by the loss of his cat and the doorman he knows, begins making crude weapons from things around the house.
Day 11 opens with him on the couch surrounded with razor wire, holding a crude weapon made from a tennis racket.
Danny re-enters the apartment and opens a casserole in the oven to find his pet cat, charred.
The child watches the SD card which reveals that Danny was a sleepwalker, who murdered every person and animal that entered the apartment.
