Neighborhood Watch

Absolutely ruined by the background music, couldn't hear the actors dialogue at all. Pity, it would have been quite a good film if you could hear it properly.

Yes the sound is abominable like everyone else has said. But - so is the acting, the script (which fortunately you miss a lot of due to the music) the storyline, the set/scenery. There is absolutely nothing redeeming about this film. I only watched to the end as the plumber was fixing the boiler and I needed to be out of his way. Says it all.....

The only thing that kept me guessing throught this film was what the characters were actually saying!? The music and background effects are ridiculously loud to the point that I thought it had to be some mistake that nobody noticed!!!

The only way you're going to be able to follow the plot is with subtitles, but it seems that even whoever was transcribing had the same problem as it just comes up with "Inaudible" in various places!

Shame really, it's not a bad film as far as channel 5 afternoon mystery thrillers go.

Background noise made this movie almost impossible to follow.

It's the gated community of Shady Grove. Lindsay Porter (Julie McNiven) has been divorced for two year and has teenage daughter Jamie. She owns a local gym and Valerie is a new employee who left her abusive ex-husband. Stephen Lane is the new neighbor. Kat Riley is the single real estate agent who sold Stephen the house. Nikki is Jamie's best friend and Janet Chung is Nikki's mother. Barrett is the night watchman. Despite vowing never to marry again, Lindsay starts dating Stephen.

After reading all the bad reviews, I got interested. Apparently, the music and sound design annoyed some people. The sound design is bad at the start. The non-stop music cues get annoying. The story itself intrigued me with a whodunnit which I like. Once the reveal happens, the culprit becomes a ridiculous psycho. The villain turn is so over the top that whatever appeal is lost. Up until that point, I almost forgive the movie for all its flaws.
