Neighbour (US)
Synopsis:
It's a simple story of a serial killer girl who likes to invade people's home, tortured and killed all the people residing the house while living inside their house until she finds another new home and repeated the offense again. This time, the movie centers around the serial killer girl (no name given) targeting the home of Don Carpenter. He is drugged (but didn't show how) and tied to a chair in the basement and then started to receiving various torture from the serial killer girl (i think i better named her SKG). Then, his drinking buddy started to come over and was attacked by the girl. He manage to rescue Don by pouring acid to SKG face, scarring & disfiguring her right hand side face. Then, we are shown that Don is actually dreaming of the event and that the frightful episode is over, with Don now walking on a stick and keep having vision of SKG killing his friends, sister, and finally haunted by getting tortured again. Then, we are re-introduce again to the scene where his drinking buddy started to come over Don's house again and instead of rescuing him, his buddy was attacked and then set on fire by SKG. Then, SKG proceed to kill off every people that visited Don and lastly Don's girlfriend. Then, SKG innocently walked out from Don's house and met up with Don's sister, and telling her that Don and his friends are drinking and smoking in the basement. Finally, SKG proceed to walk off (rather skipping off) happily.
Review:
The beginning of the movie is quite promising with SKG killing the house host and his family. Then, as she target Don, it was not so bad. But then, Don get drugged and capture without showing how. One minute he is with his wife, the next drugged and tied to the chair. That is the beginning of my nightmare. Christian Campbell as Don is pathetic as a torture victim. When SKG proceed to hammer away his toes, he does not scream in pain, rather just show a bit pain. When SKG proceed to drill on his torso (few places), he does not scream in pain, rather just give a bit grunt here and there. When SKG proceed to stuck long plastic needle to his crouch, he also give a bit grunt. I mean Come' On! Didn't he watch at least some SAW movies to show how people acted painfully when get tortured? Its so unbelievable crap of acting from this guy. And the lead actress SKG (played by America Olivo) is so laughable as a serial killer. She wanted to act as though she is insane but all we saw is, she comes of as a bitchy bully. I really do not know where these actors and actresses came from or if they have any acting lesson, because this is really bad (though not as bad as Apocalypse of the Dead) Somehow i do not know why the even release such a film. Awful.
Verdict:
I give it a 1 star out of 5. Bad acting and Bad torture clips. Enough said.
