I recently came across this movie and thought that it looked interesting, with a decent sounding storyline = a young college girl suspects that her neighbours are serial killers and plus it has a few familiar faces in it namely Tobin Bell from the Saw movies, Billy Dee Williams (Star Wars & Batman) and Danica McKellar (The Wonder Years). And so for 25p I can't go wrong.
"The Killer Next Door" which seems to be its UK title wasn't a particularly good movie, it's not terrible by all means I have seen worse but on a small scale it kind of works in a TV movie kind of way and there were small shades of tension and real fear for the leading heroine Molly (Danica McKellar), like when she is menaced by the serial killers Tobin Bell and the other guy, but that is all let down by the poor acting of not just her but 90% of the cast, including Billy Dee Williams who doesn't seem to be making an effort at all just plain wooden throughout.
The only saving grace was Tobin Bell who was very convincing and scary throughout the movie. But the effects were laughable to say the least and I did find Danica's foul mouth hilarious throughout and her sassy friend Rhea was just plain awful and should have died sooner. Okay I understand that this movie was low budget and that shows through and through, but it had a decent storyline but was poorly executed with shoddy acting.
