apartment zero (1988)

"He could have killed him here, cut him into little pieces and took him to a hotel."
An anti-social owner of a Buenos Aires cinema, Adrian (Colin Firth), has to rent a room in his apartment due to lack of money, much to his mentally ill mother's concern. He eventually lets it to American Jack (Hart Bochner), and they immediately hit it off, but Adrian becomes concerned that Jack may not be what he seems, (and may even be a serial killer). A cat and mouse game ensues, as each tries to understand the other's motivations. Low key drama, that flounders in its middle, before pulling itself together for the finale.
