Plot

The title Landlord Blues is a lot catchier than the film itself. Mark Boone Jr. plays a slum tenant whose landlord might well be described a scumbucket, except this wouldn't be fair to the other scumbuckets. The more Boone complains, the nastier his landlord becomes. When the last straw is broken, Boone exacts revenge in bloody slasher-flick fashion. Nary a cliché remains unturned in Landlord Blues. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
