New York Post

Working from a 1982 novel set in Quebec City, director-writer Jacob Tierney provides enough thrills and surprises, even a little satire, to keep viewers' attention.

Rated: 3/4

Jeannette Catsoulis

New York Times

Swerving from bland to brutal, endearingly coy to shockingly explicit, the Canadian import "Good Neighbors" finds pitch-black comedy among white-bread lives.

Rated: 3.5/5

TheWrap

There's enough creepy tension and nefarious deeds afoot to make for a really suspenseful short film, but even at just 96 minutes, Good Neighbors outstays its welcome.

That Shelf

This film has one of the best murder scenes in recent film memory. It's brutal and hilarious at the same time - and a must-see for cat lovers.

Maclean's Magazine

The film is superbly crafted, with veteran cinematographer Guy Dufaux composing a coherent palette of dark, rich interiors.

Not a crackerjack thriller by any means, and I'm not sure it means to be: It's a dark comedy about people who do horrible things.

Rated: B-

The film has an interesting premise. It builds up slowly. it is more about the relationship between the characters than a thriller

"Good Neighbours" is a Canadian production set in Montreal about the various residents in an old apartment building and a plot around their lives. The film has a Son of Sam vibe since their is a serial killer on the loose. Very suspenseful with all the three leads giving us well developed characters while keeping you on the edge of your seat until the rather twisty ending. The movie could have been four stars but there are some plot holes that bring the rating down.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
