Terror in the Country

Robin and Ben are expecting a baby but they get mugged and move to a small town. Enter the nosy neighbors, Guy and Sharon, who get to be too pushy and Robin becomes suspicious. But is it justified? You will have to tune in to this one to find out. For a thriller, this was a good movie and recommended!

On a scale of Lifetime movies: better than average

After a traumatic mugging, pregnant lawyer Robin and her husband Ben (shoutout--Craig from Degrassi!!) decide to move to a small town upstate. The elderly couple next door seem very attentive... much too attentive... and why are they so obsessed with the baby?

It's not going to win any awards, but this was a decent and interesting made-for-TV movie. You have to know what you're getting into with these things - the cheesiness is part of the entertainment value. There were a couple of truly thrilling moments, and the neighbors were very intrusive and creepy. I had fun while watching it, and I would recommend it!

In Danger Next Door, a couple expecting their first child decides to leave the city's chaos behind after a frightening mugging incident. They settle into a tranquil countryside home, hoping for a peaceful environment to raise their baby. Initially, everything seems perfect until they meet their neighbors, an older couple who are overly friendly, frequently dropping by unannounced with gifts and offers to help. What starts as neighborly kindness soon feels intrusive, leading the couple to question the true intentions behind their neighbors' constant presence. The film skillfully builds suspense, keeping viewers engaged as the story unfolds. It's a gripping watch that explores themes of trust, safety, and the unsettling feeling that sometimes, danger might be closer than it appears.

The city may feel unsafe but country living does not guarantee peace and quiet. Not when the new neighbors keep turning up in your garden, in your kitchen, when you go to town for groceries, .... and your doors never seem to be really locked. How do they get in? And just why are they so very interested in the fact that you are pregnant?...... Engaging, suspenseful, definitely worth watching!
