PopHorror Let's Get Scared
Neighbor was handed down through our ranks and quickly became something I cherish for multiple reasons. From the aesthetic, down to the story, it all rocked. At first, I didn’t see the hype until I watched the film. This movie is for anyone who has had that one neighbor who will drive you insane. This neighbor, however, comes for vengeance for an awkward reason. I am interested from start to finish, even though it’s heavy on dialogue.
Let’s get into the review.
Synopsis
A troubled writer becomes haunted by a murder in his town that mirrors his own dark fictional stories, blurring the lines between fiction and reality. The freind zone, but for male companions spirals into obsession and madness. Things increase when the nghboris ot invited to the pizza party.
The Neighbor from Hell
Neighbor has an interesting, original storyline that instantly grows odd when the characters start throwing ideas together. Sometimes things that should not be do exist; however, stalkers do exist; that was my initial takeaway. As the movie progresses, chaos begins to rear its ugly head. You might say there was a PFA order on the horizon, because there was always trouble afoot that the neighbor pushes off as playful. It quickly escalates into a free-for-all fight for survival; actually, more like waiting for the neighbors’ next move, expecting things to get riskier.
The film doesn’t need much to speak volumes as you begin to understand. Have you ever felt that the whole damn world is against you, except for your teenage friend and an obsessed human being built on friendship, whose actions are, of course, sympathetic until he has you backed into a corner? That point in the film is definitely apparent throughout. The best was yet to come, for now. This is how Jarrod and Jeffery seem to work; you could either call them friends or walk on eggshells, doing what Jeffery says. The obsession was clear when it came down to knowing there was trouble with this dude.
When I initially saw Neighbor, I was profoundly impressed. Besides the use of black and white, one of the reasons is that it’s quite “artsy.’ The film also evokes nostalgia through sound, like a TV newscast that grabs my attention while Jarrod lounges, smoking, which I can relate to. After working hard, you should be able to come home to peace, but that’s rarely the case. Jarrod spends all day acting as both a friend and a taxi driver for Jeffery. In the final minutes, chaos erupts, leading to an ending you’ll never see coming. getting stoned, and I can relate. When you work hard, you should be able to come home to peace, but that is never the deal. Jarrod had become both a friend a nd a taxi driver for Jeffery all day. Towards the final minutes, things get pretty crazy, and you won’t expect the ending.
In the End
In the end, I really enjoyed the film. As was said, it reminds me of being a kid, funnily, maybe it’s how smooth the TV flows on a news cast, and for some reason, I embraced it. Maybe it’s the sounds and the aesthetic. I could never tell, but it just made me feel good inside. I didn’t feel so alone in my loner black-and-white world, where you eat, use the bathroom, and watch TV in the beautiful lack of color. The awkwardness of only relating to young people (not in a sexual way, don’t cancel me) and knowing that life is that eventually you become like Jrrod and spend your days at the park when your only friend got whisked away.
All you have to rely on is that insane neighbor who knows no boundaries, just don’t hurt his big heart.
