Well Deserved Praise
Softwing
Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Tobias Burrows
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

I absolutely love this movie and I can't find it anywhere online but I think about it all the time. I miss it. I love it. Seems that it is not in any way shape or form popular but I wish it were around somewhere. It's amazing. My favourite film for sure. I need to watch it again. I've watched it countless times in the past from about age 12-16. Highly recommend. I really do wonder why this film has gathered so much negativity though.

I found this movie to be pretty suspenseful and overall an okay flick. But it was very irritating how the husband treated Victoria (the lead female). *SPOILER* He won't believe a word she says even when she says she actually saw a girl in the basement next door. He then just basically says you are crazy me and our daughter are out of here bye. She is pleading for help and for him to believe her and he just doesn't even seem to care and just goes to leave. Personally I would have an awful time forgiving my husband for treating me that way. But of course they are all okay in the end. However, the story was decently written and you really weren't completely sure what was going on and who knew about it until the end. Acting was pretty good as well. I liked that the heroine was a little tougher than they usually make this type of character. She was always on her toes expecting the worst instead of making dumb mistakes. The bad guy in the film was so creepy and disturbing he did an excellent job at his role. *SPOILER* At the end when he falls down the stairs I was a little disappointed he didn't get hurt more. I was hoping maybe our main gal would take his stupid shovel and whack him around a few times before calling the cops. Overall I'd watch again.

I have to agree with the other reviewers who point out how utterly implausible this movie is. Given that true events inspired this script, I would have expected so very much more. I'd rather watch a documentary on Bio or ID about actual stories such as this one. They are far more interesting.Perhaps the biggest flaw to me is that the main character is absolutely disgustingly witchy. I can't agree with the other reviewer enough (spell that with a capital B--good line).**spoilers follow** It's a good thing I don't have a neighbor like that, because I'd probably snap and whack her over the head with a shovel when I found her digging up my dead dog the very first day she lived next door! The villain is a far more sympathetic and likable character, and sadly I don't believe that's done on purpose. If it was done purposefully, then there's even more to dislike since the writers failed miserably at making that point.If anyone can identify with this lead character, I feel sorry for their neighbors. The only good thing about the 2 hours wasted on this movie is getting some small amount of glee in rooting for the bad guy against the moronic idiots from the city.

I give this movie all stars because it really deserves it. It's not boring as it seems, it is suspenseful and entertaining. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a thrill without gore or sexual scenes. There were scenes that were intense that makes u addicted to continue watching throughout the entire movie. I love the music and special suspense sounds that spook you a lot. I would watch it again...I would probably buy this movie! Very worthwhile plot to watch, it is Superb, Suspenseful and predictable!Reviewed by: Enrique Tovar -Delano, Ca. USA I proudly watched this movie on NETFLIX.
