After they are violently mugged, soon-to-be parents Robin and Ben flee the city for the idyllic countryside, a perfect place to raise their child. Unfortunately, their disturbingly attentive neighbors have their own agenda for them.

Hannah Emily Anderson in Danger Next Door (2021)

Very, very strange, forgettable and totally unrealistic...

Robin and Ben are expecting a baby but they get mugged and move to a small town. Enter the nosy neighbors, Guy and Sharon, who get to be too pushy and Robin becomes suspicious. But is it justified? You will have to tune in to this one to find out. For a thriller, this was a good movie and recommended!

Danger Next Door

On a scale of Lifetime movies: better than average After a traumatic mugging, pregnant lawyer Robin and her husband Ben (shoutout--Craig from Degrassi!!) decide to move to a small town upstate. The elderly couple next door seem very attentive... much too attentive... and why are they so obsessed with the baby? It&#39;s not going to win any awards, but this was a decent and interesting made-for-TV movie. You have to know what you&#39;re getting into with these things - the cheesiness is part of the entertainment value. There were a couple of truly thrilling moments, and the neighbors were very intrusive and creepy. I had fun while watching it, and I would recommend it!

This movie proves the phrase, &#39;Nowhere is safe.&#39; Celebration turned to panic and soon to anxiety and agoraphobia after Robin and her husband Ben are mugged after leaving an upscale restaurant in thr city. Robin still reeling from from the mugging and fearing for the safety of their first child, convices her husband to move to the country where they wouldn&#39;t have to fear mugging. The country was just was they needed. Freedom from all the dangers of city life, but even country life comes with its own set of fears and worries. In the case of Robin and Ben, it came in the form of a kind middle-aged couple named Sharon and Guy. They&#39;re kindness goes from borderline annoying to terrifyingly creepy very fast. However, don&#39;t punish Sharon and Guy too much, after all they&#39;re simply mirroring Robin and Ben.

The &quot;villains&quot; in this movie, happen to be an older couple, living in a rural area, growing their own healthy food, free of toxic pesticides, proven to be harmful, hence the hazmat suits the farm workers wear to spray them! It&#39;s incredibly bizarre that anyone would have a negative judgement about something as wise as avoiding these pesticides , right? Yet , the writers make sure the couple is also deranged in every possible way, so that the audience now equates self-sufficiency and healthy living with being a &quot;dangerous weirdo&quot;. Yes, I clearly see what they did here, now do you?

A man-wimp and his wife get mugged on the big city street after eating out. By a homeless man with a gun. The writers of this movie have something against poor people. They present the world of the couple as being &quot;clean and perfect&quot;. Okay. The couple have serious psychological problems afterwards (?), and consider moving to a small town. Instead of taking Bruce Lee Taekwondo classes or getting a pistol like Charles Bronson did, they decide to abruptly move away. They find a nice place in some quiet little town. It seems no Mexicans live there either. And then they have an extremely friendly elderly couple who bring them organic vegetables and fruits. In baskets. Every day. The horror, the horror. The movie is so utterly ridiculous, and every scene is contrived and pointless. The actors are all extremely bland and boring. The houses are brand new and look like they have never been lived in. You really don&#39;t care what happens to anyone at all. Unless you enjoy these totally unrealistic movies. You would think that the city couple moved next door to Jack the Ripper, or Abdullah the Butcher. But no, just two simple and easy to handle quinquagenarians (50-59 years old), or sexagenarians (60 and 69 years old). And man-wimp doesn&#39;t fare much better in this confrontation either. I don&#39;t know what happened to masculinity.

&quot;Danger Next Door&quot; (aka, &quot;Terror in the Country&quot;) was a psychologically sophisticated film about the experience of trauma. After Robin and Ben suffered a brutal mugging in Chicago, Robin, a successful attorney, is haunted by the event. The couple then relocates to the country seeking solace. Instead, they experience a nightmare with their neighbors. Guy and Sharon are affable senior citizens with a wonderful garden. At first, the neighborly hospitality is endearing. But it soon becomes overbearing. Finally, it turns into violent pathological behavior. The strength of the film was in the depiction of trauma and the way it was handled by Robin. There was a credible sense of her vulnerability and the stress of having to cope not only with her first pregnancy, but with a recurring sense of panic. The film&#39;s direction was crisp with interesting interior and exterior settings, as well as oblique camera angles. While the film&#39;s pacing was slow, there was nonetheless an increasing sense of danger. It was unfortunate that the nicest character in the film, the law partner of Robin named Amanda Foster, became collateral damage. The extra violence was unnecessary as the focus was primarily on Robin&#39;s fragile psyche. The performances were first-rate, especially in the bonding of Robin and Ben as they struggled with their creepy neighbors.

The city may feel unsafe but country living does not guarantee peace and quiet. Not when the new neighbors keep turning up in your garden, in your kitchen, when you go to town for groceries, .... and your doors never seem to be really locked. How do they get in? And just why are they so very interested in the fact that you are pregnant?......
Engaging, suspenseful, definitely worth watching!
