    Absolutely horrible

    A poor, poor attempt at copying Lakeview Terrace. Acting was atrocious.

    Please do not waste 1+ hours of your life watching this movie.

    Full of Black Stereotypes

    A constant flood of Black stereotypes. Most of them are concentrated into the housewarming party scene.

    Racism on display

    Watched this movie because I heard about it in news. I thought "how bad can it be?" This movie puts on display true racism. Not of the "characters". But of the writer, director, producer and stars of this hate on film.

    It's depressing not in what happens on screen- which is formulaic at best. But in the glimpse it gives into the roiling hate the entertainment industry has for a large part of the population.

    Very 2020

    This movie is terrible and for multiple reasons. The topic is so 2020 and just another way to tell the world that white people are evil. Maybe we should be making movies that depend on racism for a topic, but on unifying us all. Now, if you are going to make this movie, try to at least cast it well and get better acting.

    Feels like a Hilariously Bad 10-minute Comedy Skit that overstayed its Welcome.

    The writer clearly watches way too much ID Channel's Fear Thy Neighbor and ripped off Lakeview Terrance but mostly switched the races of the protagonist and antagonist. I'm Black and I cringed at the dialogue. In real life, no one talks, acts or reacts like this. No one! The absurdity of it all including the horror music every time "Karen" interacted with her new neighbors was hilarious I must admit. Corey Hardrict and Taryn Manning are both pretty good actors. Why did they take part in this poor production? The Good: 1. The leads playing the young couple/new neighbors are likeable and even had patience with their deranged neighbor. 2. The movie didn't make every White person evil - there's a kind rookie cop and "Karen's" children were sweet-natured. 3. There are two sweet moments between said children and the young couple/new neighbors. Unfortunately, those rare nice parts are overshadowed by the preachy agenda and forced storyline.

    • Trivia
      The title role was written with Candace Cameron Bure in mind. Bure turned down the part due to scheduling conflicts, though she was allegedly flattered. Taryn Manning was eventually cast, and earned a Razzie nomination for her performance.
    • Goofs
      When Malik and Imani are hanging up the African art piece; there is a screwdriver lying on the banister. However in the next cut which is at a different angle; the screwdriver is not there. The screwdriver appears and disappears through various cuts.
