A Killer Next Door

If you know the John List story you will hate this. Not a good representation of the true story. Why skip 18 years?

The last time I saw acting this bad was in 1971 while watching the now cult classic, BILLY JACK. Ironically, this crime by John List also took place in 1971. Was this film directed in such a manner to pay homage to this era?

I love serial killer movies. This was not that. At best, a weak plagiarized Rear Window(down to the injured protagonist.) At least Disturbia updated the "stuck at the window" premise. Reasons not to watch:

• Terrible acting,
• Ridiculous dialogue,
• Awful camera work (with weird zooms, shaky at times, out of focus at times,)
• Exposition narration in the form of dialogue (where a person would come onscreen to say a few sentences, then the movie would movie would go on to another scene, with no acknowledgment of who the person was talking to,)
• Bad sets and costume design,
• Terrible facial expressions,
• Weak score/soundtrack,
• Entirely unlikable, dumb characters,
• Zero tension or mystery.

I could go on and on. Anything going on in this movie is extremely bad. I will never watch it again, and I recommend that you not either. If this is playing at a friend's house, go for a walk. Fresh air is better than this atrocity.

The producers of this movie, drove by the unemployment office and picked up some out of work actors. This is bad, very bad.....

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.
