We always wonder what our neighbors are like. Unless we are good friends with them that is. But even then, do we really know them? Do they like us? Do they have extra curricular activities we are not aware of? Also what can we expect from the filmmaker of the Collection movies? Exactly and if you know those, you do know what you are letting yourself into (no pun intended of course).So while our main characters may not exactly make their way into heaven for their personality or way of life, there might be a bigger problem right around the corner (or just next to the corner). Obviously if you are watching a horror/thriller movie I don't have to tell you, that things tend to get ugly. Suspense level is there and it keeps you on your toes until the end ... what more can you ask for?

I absolutely loved this movie. I was jumping out of my chair so many times with my heart racing. Granted one of my favorite movies is The Collector so it kind of makes sense. Josh Stewart was great as always. A surprise came with Bill Engvall. I knew the guy was funny, but he can also act, and he does a wonderful job in this as the creepy hillbilly. I just can't praise this movie enough. It was raw and terrifying. This is what I want out of a horror movie. Unfortunately I had never heard of it before until a review on Bloodbath and Beyond. Out of all the crap that comes out, this should have got more attention. I am so happy that I watched this and would recommend it to anyone. Wonderful, absolutely wonderful. Don't now if this is a spoiler or not but the only reason I didn't give it a 10 was because Bill should have realized the music downstairs had turned off. Other than that I thought it was perfect. Thank you guys for delivering a top notch horror movie.

There were many opportunities throughout the movie to make the 'neighbor' more mysterious, more freaky, and more cunning, but these were quickly abandoned in favor of a more clichéd criminal. That is my largest disappointment with this film. Otherwise, it worked well as an action/thriller.The protagonists are caught up in a mob's smuggling operation, and they use a telescope to spy at people through the window. One day, the girlfriend (Who, I assume by the hero's subsequent panic is never supposed to leave the house) spots something incriminating and is nabbed by the neighbor. (Yes, this is the actual premise of the film, not the more innocent summaries I have read elsewhere. I don't know why they bother hiding the fact that their protagonists are criminals too).So everybody, who is incidentally criminal, is trying to get one up on each other by sleuthing, tackling, slashing, shooting and your usual hijinks. The movie has good photography, good soundtrack, and is a bit gritty - kind of like the only quality everybody seems to need to survive.

It's Sunday, Oct 23rd and my first feature was The Neighbor, directed by Marcus Dunstan. Starring the star of The Collector films, Josh Stewart, (this is a third film collaboration between Stewart and Dunstan), Alex Essoe, (Starry Eyes, Tales Of Halloween) and Bill Engvall. This is truly a mind blowing top-notched horror thriller that will keep your adrenaline pumping. An extremely intense performance by both Josh Stewart and Alex Essoe. Bill Engvall is one hell of an actor, this is the first movie I have seen of his. Skillful special effects were done by FX Master and Legend Robert Kurtzman. This movie was just so thrilling with that terrifying vibe. So many great things about this movie. It felt like I was watching a third chapter in The Collector series. What an experience on a Sunday afternoon. I'm gonna give this flick an excellent 5 out of 5 stars. Any movie directed by Marcus, I'll be damn sure to own it, because he's such a remarkable director including Josh Stewart, a favorite actor of mine. One of the best films of 2016, and the finest horror thrillers I've ever seen!!!
