Next Door (2005)
7/10
Story is interesting, acting is good, I didn't like it

Warning: Spoilers
I know. It's me. It doesn't have anything to do with the movie which was very well acted and constructed. But I really do hate movies that try to depict the psychotic mind from within. How can I possibly relate to that? Together with the "they were actually dead" movies, it made no sense. Is it worth watching a movie that you understand nothing of just to get a one free out of jail card in the end and have the "ahhhaaa!" moment? Not to me.

Bottom line: Horror fans should love parts of it, there is suspense, eroticism, violence, a bit of blood, clear tributes to other cult movies, but in the end, the story can be told in 5 minutes and be done with it. My advice: don't read any more comments on the film, someone will undoubtedly spoil for you. Either watch it or don't.
