Neighbor

The Story A woman (Olivo) has made a full-time hobby of talking her way into homes, conking people over the head and, when they wake up, finding creative ways to torture them to death, smiling and chatting most of the way. She finds it all quite amusing. Don Carpenter's house (with conveniently soundproofed home recording studio) is her next stop.

The scenes in which The Girl charms people into trusting her are tense and at the same time clever, as are the scenes where delusion is juxtaposed against reality (movie reality, anyway), and we aren't sure which is which. However The Girl reserves most of her creativity for her torture sessions, in which she improvises with staples, nails, glass stirrers, and too many other implements to remember. You'll want to grab The Girl by the shoulders and ask "why?," long before the question occurs to Don. If you haven't yet been desensitized to movie violence, this movie will either do the job or give you nightmares.

Why you should see it: You're getting numb to movie gore, and you're watching 365 movies this year, so you ain't picky.

Why you shouldn't see it: The Girl is one movie monster who stops being fun to watch before long, and the glass swizzle-stick scene is an ordeal even if you're used to horror movies.

This movie is obviously being targeted in classic IBMD shill fashion( making 5-6 sock puppet accounts and trashing it) If you go through all the 1 star reviews they're all made by the same user on 1 review accounts. While this movie isn't anything too great it doesn't deserve to be called the "Worst movie ever" yadda yadda yadda. Believe me its far from the worst movie ever..

My only real problem with the movie was the main psycho girl's acting, which was simply bad when she was trying to come off crazy or torturing her victims. She did fine when she was acting normal, but the crazy act was just hard to buy and came off kind of silly at times. Not in a good way either. The rest of the movie and all involved weren't too bad, the script and the film definitely needed much more, but were worth a watch nonetheless.

5 out of 10 stars is an honest review here. Pretty forgettable, but will pass the time.

This movie was a bunch of gory torture scenes with some poor attempts at a plot trying to link them together. The acting was atrocious as was the Tarentino-like directing of showing things happen then going back to before they happened later. It was confusing and painfully amateur. Things happened to the torturees that would have had them (in real life) screaming their heads off in agony and keeping them that way for a LONG time. Here, something unthinkable happens to them, they squint and growl for a minute until it's done, then they are just breathing heavy. It was laughable. The movie desperately tries to make the main character seem hot with a crazy streak. Well she's not hot from the neck up and her attempt at crazy is nothing more than blank stares. On a final note she has a full grown man taped to a chair with silver electrical tape (in what looks like, I couldn't tell) for days. After the horror this guy had been through he could've (any human being could've) broke free. There was one scene where he's just laying on the couch with his hands bound. Ridiculous.

If you are looking for an all out torture movie, this is one movie I would recommend. Being a woman it was refreshing to finally see the crazy "guy" replaced by a girl.

The movie did not really have a storyline and there are no explanations for why this chick was crazy, but that was OK. The main character was a little too happy which added some character… and some laughs, to tell you she enjoyed her work would be an understatement.

The twists were a little confusing, but pretty neat overall. I really enjoyed this movie; it takes a lot for me now a days to cringe and this movie made me cringe a few times. I have to give credit for some very inventive torture scenes.

OK good points......the lead is a stunner as she is in every film she has been in thus far.

OK thats the good points done with now lets discuss the film. The movie has no storyline and is basically just a torture movie, she toys with her prey with all manner of unpleasant tools including a very nasty scene involving a single nail......don't ask.

Alas the movie has no upsides and is deeply disturbing and made me extremely uncomfortable. I cant really recommend this to anybody beyond those who are into torture films or those looking for something very very alternative.
