Nik Renouf is definitely the best thing about HTFYN with his brooding screen presence, unfortunately he is a great actor in the wrong film. The script is pretty unimaginative and the supporting cast need poppers. The set is suitably depressing but would have benefited from less exposure, as it renders an impression of mean old bed-sits and London life in an off-putting fashion. The cop in it looks like he could do with some coffee, and the bit with the Hyde-Park ranter at the beginning should have been spliced out and sent to film hell. Also its a very rank story line and makes you want to commit self-death or neighbourly harm after you have seen it. If you live in a bed-sit with white bumpy wall paper and thin carpets pass over on this film or you may wish to die in your bed in a sea of spilt pot noodles. This would in fact have made an excellent scene had it been in the film, and would have really spiced it up.

I understand that the film was very risky and has caused a lot of controversy with its subject matter, but the film has some great performances and the music rocks!!! London can't always be exposed as a glamorous city, it is dark and gives us the impression of real life, I thought it was really very produced...but that's just me. There was an interview with the Producer online talking about how difficult releasing the film was because of the subject matter, it was called How to Film your Neighbour, but the DVD company changed it to 'kill your neighbour'you all should watch his other film Cornelius Crow, thats just as dark
