Contrary to the title, there is only a scant "neighborly" theme to this movie. The psycho woman (Barbera Niven) just conveniently happens to be a neighbor, and I guess you could say this is her point of entry into the lives of the couple next door.
At the heart of this movie is basically a psycho assistant who fantasizes about her new boss and does everything possible to drive the man's (Perry King) doting wife out of the picture.
The movie is very similar to another Lifetime movie The Perfect Assistant which frankly is far superior- if that's even a compliment.
I will credit the movie for not having stupid people do stupid things or ignore glaring red flags. But in the end, it's basically the same ole thing where there's a final confrontation when the psycho lady just loses it and confronts someone with a gun. To be honest, I find this resolution to be quite lazy. I prefer when the psycho is confronted with lie after lie and is caught "dead to rights."
Nothing really new here.
