Masterful Movie

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Blistering performances.

The narrator of this show sounds like he couldn't get hired for funniest home videos so he took his act to a murder investigation show. His narrating is bout as creepy as a disheveled clown who reeks of booze, passing out candy at a trailer park birthday party. I can't watch anymore episodes. One was too much.Since I have to add more to this review to get it posted, I would like to add that my son hated it also. It was very odd that the narrator switched from investigating a little girls murder to joking around about the investigating officer being a mommas boy in the kitchen who cooks pizza to get away from work stress. The way he narrated it sounded like he was talking about a cast member of dancing with the stars. Not really appropriate in context of a little childs murder investigation.

I RARELY write reviews on anything BUT upon seeing others felt the same way about this show and its narrator/narration, I had to chime in and agree.First off, I have been watching the ID channel religiously since it started. For the most part, I love the programming despite the poor, amateur dramatizations portrayed in many shows. But if there is any show that is nearly UNWATCHABLE, it is "Nightmare Next Door". And as noted above, this is a result of the narrator and his corny/insensitive way of telling the story...BS metaphor after metaphor that completely belittle the horror these people and their families have experienced. In my opinion, ID needs to do something about this. It honestly makes me want to vomit whenever I hear this guy's voice. I'd be outraged if I was the family of these victims!

I have been watching a lot of ID lately. I enjoy the crime stories over all. In general they are similar with a few twists. Tonight was the first time I had watched an episode of "Nightmare Next Door" & I have to say I'm not sure I will watch it again. Not because the storyline was bad & uninteresting. On the contrary the storyline was quite similar to most of the other crime stories on ID. The basic outline & setup was basically the same with a background story & interviews with those involved in the case.The part I had difficulty with was the Narrator & Narrative. I don't mind when a show (even like these) add a bit of humor here & there; like "Elder Skelter" where you have a cute lead in & out with the older women. However the way this show uses puns & humor throughout feels almost disrespectful to the storyline itself. Honestly I'm not sure if it is the puns/humor or if it is just the fact that the Narrator sounds like he is narrating a 10 ten best of show or some cheesy drama reenactment with humorous intended undertones. Either way it really takes away from the content of the show.As I said this was my first time watching & this happened to be a rerun from 2012 "Prescription for Murder" so I may it a second try but if it is anything like the first one I will have to skip this series.

If I were ever murdered, I would NOT want this SHOW, to broadcast my murder. You will have someone murdered cruelly and yet the narration is full of jokes and silly puns which seem totally out of place. It contains trivial information on the Police Officers on what they do in their spare time which has nothing to do with the case, only just so they can add another silly pun. This takes all the seriousness out of the actual murder. There is just no respect for the victim or victims of the murder and the narration is full of cheesy one-liners. On one episode about the murder of a mother while her 3 year old child was present and survived. The 3 year old mentions a name of the suspect and the narrator jokingly adds "Out of the mouth of a babe". It beggars belief how it finds murder so funny and the narration is way too upbeat with its jovial jests. Avoid this show, as it trivializes all the facts and people involved in it.
