Willem Dafoe Is a Sinister Tenant in THE MAN IN MY BASEMENT Trailer

In this movie, Corey Hawkins portrays Charles Blakey, a Black resident of New York City facing a tough situation. Unemployed and at risk of losing his family’s ancestral home due to foreclosure, his life takes an unusual turn when an eccentric older businessman named Anniston Bennet (played by Dafoe) knocks on his door. This enigmatic character offers Blakey a peculiar deal: if he allows Bennett to reside in his basement during the summer months, the rent payments would be sufficient to cover his outstanding debt.

Listen, I understand that he wants to save his house, but personally speaking, if an unknown white man approaches me with such an offer, I would have to turn it down. In fact, I would decline this offer from anyone because it seems quite questionable. Where did you come from and why are you staying in my basement if you’re so wealthy? However, Charles proceeds with the arrangement, as shown in the trailer for “The Man in My Basement.” Unfortunately, things do not go smoothly for him in the story.
