A Killer Next Door

If you know the John List story you will hate this. Not a good representation of the true story. Why skip 18 years?

Besides being a complete derivative copy of The Stepfather, which is very good, this is just pure trash. I am absolutely astonished that any movie company would produce this garbage. Where did they find these actors? I was embarrassed for them while I watched this atrocious garbage.

The last time I saw acting this bad was in 1971 while watching the now cult classic, BILLY JACK. Ironically, this crime by John List also took place in 1971. Was this film directed in such a manner to pay homage to this era?

I actually watched the entire movie, not sure why. It was slow-moving, bad acting, and really not that interesting. The Stepfather, which is based on the same killer, is much better. The only thing that saved this movie was the music at the end while the credits rolled by.

Wow.. I honestly have no idea how I sat through this. It's one of the worst movies I've seen this year.

It's a shame, because it's based on a true story which I've heard about prior to watching this on the My Favourite Murder podcast. The true story is super creepy, and interesting, but this film was the complete opposite.

The acting, script, music.. ugh. It's all so bad! All very low budget, and don't get me wrong there can be some decent low budget films, but this is not one of them.

The best thing about this film is honestly the movie poster, because that actually looks decent.
