The Killer Next Door

I don't understand why the comments have to be so negative coz I really enjoyed the movie. The only "bug" I found in this movie is the random standing of the neighbors around the neighborhood talking and gossiping. like seriously? they better have something to do rather than jumping into people's lives. But from the comments, I can agree with the other person who mentioned the logics in this movie. For eg. She can't have a million dollar house like that if she doesn't have a high paying job. and lastly, the kid looked six to me.(Idk why it bothered the commentators). in overall, I love this movie and would recommend it or anyone to watch.

I thought this movie was great. The villain is predicted, I think it's clear if you read the synopsis of the movie. But I didn't mind that, I thought it was interesting. Also everyone complaining about the 6 year old, yes he looks a little olde but in saying that i have met some big looking 6 year olds. It's not that uncommon. Point is, it doesn't ruin the story in any way. It kept my attention and doesn't deserve the poor reviews.

I'm writing this review as I finish the movie, this is the worst movie I've seen in a long time I thought it would be like the good lifetime dramas that use to play on Sunday's I was wrong, this movie was a real let down.

Typical Lifetime fare. Watching it in the background while I work, and like most Lifetime movies, I have a low grade pit in my stomach for the movie's duration. Kind of a "don't go in the basement!" low grade stress. Only in this case, I wasn't stressed at all by the evil sister in law murderess. No, my blood pressure was highest every time the horrid neighbor ladies hustled out to the curb with their tut-tuts. Loud music! Loungewear during the day! Recycling bin still out! Missing kid! There was no issue, big or small, that these hags couldn't get their Lilly Pulitzer undies in a wad over. You could have literally removed the murder plot, and just had typical neighbor stuff happening (left the trash can out, security alarm unintentionally set off, etc) and the movie would have been just as stressful. Then the protagonist could have snapped and murdered the neighbors. Would have been just as watchable.

Why does it always turn out to be the sister/sister in law in the end, even though we know this practically from the beginning ? Such a far fetched story line, that she would bother going to all that effort , not to mention murdering several people ( for no reason ! ) because she blamed her sister in law for her brothers death and to get custody of their child !!!!!!! Speaking of the child........she wouldnt have him for very long anyway , beacause he is obviously going to turn 18 any day now !!!!!!!! This was predictable and far far far fetched , to the point of being funny.

I love LMN movies, they are my go to because I love crime, horror and thriller movies. I liked the movie but the only thing that I could think of as I'm watching it is there is NO WAY Matty is 6...He looks at least 10/11 and the youngest he could probably get away with is maybe 8 and that's pushing it lol but they have him playing a 6 year old and it's so obvious that he's not 6, it's ridiculous. Other then that it was a good movie. I just couldn't stop thinking about how he was way older then 6.

I had to fast forward through the movie because I couldn't get passed a lot of stupid things. The child's age, the plot of the movie and motive of the killer. If the car accident had been her sister in law's fault maybe it would have been better to follow. But I couldn't get past the fact that she didn't go after the person who ran the red light 💡 in the first place. That would have been a better plot.

I'm a lifetime movie lover, so I totally get cheesy acting and storylines that are far-fetched...this movie was HORRIBLE!!!! It's been a long time since I've had a doozy like this!!!! I mean they don't even want credit for their acting...lol
