A Killer Next Door

I wanted to like this movie. I really did, but I couldn't sit through to the end.

Acting by so many was (in my opinion) sub-par. More importantly, this was supposed to be set in the US, yet the obvious signs it was not were seen by the European license plates on cars and obvious non-US electrical outlets. The Royal Mail carrier didn't lend any US authenticity either.

It's the small details that were overlooked that took away from any credibility this film might have had.

The outside shots of the List Westfield NJ home weren't even CLOSE to the home where the crimes had occurred. Granted, that home has since burned and subsequently was demolished, but surely the director could have found a home more closely resembling the List home, than the Newark NJ style row house he used instead.

I can only hope the producers get ANY return on their investment in this film.

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.

I have a love of movies but the lead girl was a terrible actress. The boyfriend was worst.

Not sure if she even did an audition. I really wanted to like it because it's based somewhat on a true story.

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.
