this movie is at least 7.5 material. I think that i can see too much influence from polanski and lynch. With that i mean lack of originality... but otherwise movie is very effective and well directed. well thats what i think.
sorry for my english.
P.S
and i give this movie 9.
Lack of originality? I don't see it in connection to this flick, I think it was extremely creative script.
However I highly agree on "underrated" part. Should be at least 8.5 IMO.
Yeah, i'd say an 8.0 is about right, anything lower than a 7.0 being a shame. Yes the idea and twist have been done before, but to me as long as a movie does well what has been done before, who cares. And in that regard, this is a well made low budget horror movie. A very solid 75 minutes...

Not when the film is completely implausible.
shareI assume you've never seen Mulholland Drive.
share*beep* mulholland drive.
shareYou're an idiot.
shareright, and youre not? haha.
what an imbecile to insult people on here.
You're right, I'm not.
I know when a film is good and when a film is bad.
Mulholland Drive falls into the first category.
Next Door is the second category.
what an imbecile to insult people on here.
you wish you were not but i must disappoint you, just re-read what youre writing here.
only immature, clueless and narrow minded people always have to compare things.
what has mullholland drive to do with this flick!? nothing! so get rid of yourself along with your bloody comparisons. thats all i'm saying and nothing else.
in case you wanna keep on going with this: talk to a brickwall instead.
cheerio!
You're the one who claims imbeciles insult people here.
Then you insult me.
Somebody thought Next Door had an "extremely creative script." I mentioned Mulholland Drive to prove that Next Door does not have a creative script. That's why I made the comparison.
"only immature, clueless and narrow minded people always have to compare things." Don't know where you got that assumption from.
Mulholland Drive has nothing to do with Next Door? Bollocks.
In both films, the protagonist creates a fantasy world after killing his/her lover. Only Mulholland Drive actually presented a plausible murder scenario.
Things start out normal in the beginning. As both films progress, it soon becomes apparent that something is not right.
The beginning scene of Next Door, where Ingrid takes her things from John, is practically a carbon copy of Camilla's meeting with a disheveled Diane in Mulholland Drive.
There's a big surprise when the protagonist discovers the corpse of somebody he/she killed on a bed.
Fictional characters repeat the actions of the person the protagonist killed.
Both movies conclude with the protagonist lying down on his/her bed.
In the end, Next Door is Mulholland Drive without complex symbolism, a plausible twist, a sympathetic protagonist, and lesbians- and who wants to see that?
I liked this movie with all it's psychological twists. I give it an 7.5. The sex scene was hot.
shareUnderrated? Most people like this film.
shareI was starting to like it but the last fifteen to twenty minutes sucked.
