Gerald H There‘s a dozen good options to twist the story in unecpected ways. But no, it unfolds as boring as expected from the very first minute onwards. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/05/24 Full Review Audience Member While very predictable, it held my interest. The ending leaves me yearning for closure, but I enjoy a good thriller nonetheless. The House Next Door is not so bad that you wish for 1 1/2 hours of your life back! Frederic Forrest was a pleasant surprise; he still gives me the heebie-jeebies from Falling Down. It's alright for background during a quiet night at home I guess. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Seule dans une nouvelle grande maison, avec un voisin psychopathe, un flic corrompu, c'est logique de se lancer dans la gueule du loup !!! Et en plus, son mari est un peu neuneu... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I liked the storyline here, but the bad acting, obviously tiny budget and cheesy canned music all detracted from the good points. This isn't something I'd be likely to want to watch again. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Not quite as horrible as the rating would have you believe, but it's certainly nothing amazing. Seems to me like a typical made for tv thriller. (I have no idea if it was made for tv, but it sure seems that way). Most of the acting is pretty standard, maybe even a little below standard in the opening scenes, but it does pick up a bit and I was impressed with A J Cook, who always seems to take on really crap movies, with the exception of The Virgin Suicides. A shame as she is quite a likeable actress who I'm sure could do better. Theresa Russell is also not too painful as the downtrodden neighbour. I certainly wouldn't advise anyone to seek this out, but if there was nothing else on tv, you could do worse. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm more worried about the guy next door with the meth lab in his basement, but hey, these neighbors are dangerous AND sinister. However, I would welcome them for not playing their gang radio at a hundred decibels all day and night. A serious and better use of THE BURBS general plot premise Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
