THE NEIGHBOUR is an engaging little suspense thriller from the director and star of THE COLLECTOR films. They were pretty decent in themselves, but this is even better, as it thankfully shies away from tired old 'torture porn' type set-pieces in favour of slow-building suspense and plot development. Josh Stewart plays a grungy ne'er-do-well hero, living with his girlfriend and making a wage through unorthodox methods, when he becomes involved with the loner living next door. What happens next is entirely predictable but to my surprise I found myself caught up in the web of intrigue and getting involved in the plight of the protagonists. No great shakes then, just a B-movie that delivers on its promise for once.
