An extreme alcoholic lives next door to the man who killed his family and was cleared of any charges. This is what started his drinking and all he lives for now is to kill the man next door.Bill Moseley plays the man he wants to kill. The weird cameo was by Lloyd Kaufman who sits on a tractor and waves at a guy. That's it. This film was very depressing as we watch this guy drink himself silly, and he still finds himself unable to kill the neighbour every chance he tries. He finds a little solace in a worker from AA who helps him fight his addiction.The film was a real slow burner but it wasn't too bad. It does get repetitive after a bit. A good ending I thought and you probably won't want to have a drink for some time.

Can I just say, "WOW"! This movie will go down as my favorite drama movie of all time.Fascinating, inspiring. The acting was mesmerizing and the plot was impressively perfect. Went with another female friend . The lead actor renders a real portrayal of a real sick alcoholic person. The CGI visions are very intriguing. Gabriella Wright's unintelligible character mystified the film by taking up the responsibility of ridding the alcoholist of his true vicious addiction. A few scenes seemed necessarily repetitious yet monotonous at the same time. If you are looking for a strange metaphysical film with lots of surprises and sick characters, this is definitely a good movie for you.

It's your loss if you haven't watched Alcoholist yet or decide against it! I think nobody could portray the tribulations of being an alcoholic better than Bret Roberts. The barbarous lifestyle of alcoholist Daniel is bound to raise awareness against alcoholism. A mercurial story leading to a thought-provoking conclusion deserves your complete attention. The overly dramatic parts of this film, like that one father son scene, could be toned down. The set designing was very impressive. The alcoholist's neighbour's family didn't look like one but two adults and a child playing family. Gabriella Wright's unintelligible character mystified the film by taking up the responsibility of ridding the alcoholist of his true vicious addiction. A few scenes seemed necessarily repetitious yet monotonous at the same time. Apart from the brilliant lead, John Robinson's performance was noteworthy.

I don't know...If I were to read the script, I would say this movie would have a lot of potential. The actors are great, but the main lead behaves nothing like an alcoholic. His house is too clean, his body too well kept. His behavior is so unconform a drinker, I cringed. He acts more like a schizophrenic - a better title fit. The alcohol is emphasized, but a moot plot point and a sales pitch, leading to nothing. The therapy is extraordinary and senseless. The killing of his neighbor seems almost like a coincidental story, and that will leave you unsatisfied. In fact, all plot points are. The 'supernatural' visions are of no matter, and nothing is done with them, nor is it ever explained. Didn't like the CGI. They should have dropped it. Didn't like the ending. It was more of a 'situation' than a finale.This could easily have been the next 'the guest' with the plot idea. A stranger nearby with an aura of mystery and a mental condition, contemplating to kill - but believe me, if you want to kill somebody, you don't really go all out and buy the solitary house next door to make yourself the only suspect. Plenty of things just don't feel right with this one.Rating: 5.5/10
