A slow burning domestic thriller, Aaron Harvey's The Neighbour is a tense little movie with a captivating central performance from William Fichtner. Go to Full Review

The Neighbour... is just about absorbing enough to hold your attention until its powerful but bleak finale. But only just. Go to Full Review

Combining themes of satire, domestic drama and thriller, this narrative can serve as a warning especially to middle-aged men who have eyes for young women. Go to Full Review

Damon V. @RT01134483 3d Started off really good, middle was good and the lead up to it, then the way it ended was terrible. Totally felt incomplete and could’ve been much more plot twist. I had high expectations and was left underwhelmed. See more Average J @AlanT Mar 7 Like watching a student film that drags on for way too long. It felt like somebody had an idea for a 20-minute short film, then somebody else said, "add some characters like a son and an annoying friend that do nothing, just to fill up more time", then somebody else said, "Put in lots and lots of useless closeups of hummingbird feeders, picket fences, coffee pots, etc. just to fill up more time", then somebody else said, "Tell your actors to pause for 10 seconds between lines, just to fill up more time". Voila: a feature length film with only 20 minutes of story! And it STILL doesn't have an ending. Thanks, whoever gave this movie a budget. See more Adam T @Steelers33 Feb 1 Absolutely terrible movie. Very slow moving with no real point to it. I waited the entire movie for something exciting or surprising to happen. The credits were the best part! See more James D @Richjay35 Dec 16 This was the worst movie!!! The Mike should pay me the salary he got for this movie because I feel like his acting cheated me out of my time. See more Kevin S @Tinsnip2000 Sep 28 The main character, Mike, seemed like he was on the mental health spectrum, but I don't think that was the intent. Much of the plot was poorly written and the characters unrealistic, especially Mike's wife, with her "major decision for Mike" seemingly coming out of nowhere and unreasonable. The payoff at the very end was not worth the boredom and cringe of sitting through this movie.
