In the small town of Cutter Mississippi most people keep to themselves. But when John (Josh Stewart) comes home to find his girlfriend Rosie (Alex Essoe) missing he suspects his mysterious and off-putting neighbour (Bill Engvall) is somehow involved. John learns that Rosie's life is not all that is at stake after a visit to his neighbour's cellar. It becomes clear that the seemingly quiet town is more dangerous than it looks and John and Rosie must do more than just run away if they want to survive the night. (Roadshow Entertainment)

The Collection has become a minor cult-classic and Marcus Dunstan probably naively thought that if he cast the same actor and chose a similar plot, he would reap success again, but there is no gore and the film is much poorer visually. What I did like were the bad guys, I immediately thought of Storm Warning, but it's all too cautious and lacking in intensity. I wasn't bored, so I'll give it an average rating, but next time it needs some improvement. 50%

The horror film The Neighbor isn't exactly a great spectacle, but it fits into the current intriguing trend of horror films like Don't Breathe, which focus on the idea that anything could be hiding behind a neighbor's door, and it's definitely not wise to underestimate your surroundings. The film works well as more mainstream torture porn and as revenge and survival. All in all, it's a slightly above-average horror film.
