phd_travel Review of The Neighborhood Nightmare

The Neighborhood Nightmare (2018 TV Movie)

Fairly interesting desparate housewives style mystery

[7/10 · 11 December 2019]

A rather plain single mom falls for the new hottie next door. He's supposed to be a psychiatrist - putting glasses on Trevor Donovan doesn't make him a convincing doctor. Someone seems against their blossoming romance but who is it? The crazy ex, the resentful daughter, the jealous realtor? The set up reminds a bit of Desperate Housewives. Their Neighborhood Watch meetings are an excuse to air grievances against each other. Helena Mattson as the realtor reminds of Nicolette Sheridan's character in DH - forward and beautiful. The ending is unconvincing and belabored. The long explanation feels very fake. Anyway she doesn't seem worth the effort let alone the homicides but someone had to do it..
