House Next Door

Summary: A suburban experience in true to life terror!
Review: While this movie may not have all the flash of a "hollywood spectacular" it is worth while to watch. In many ways this movie is more terrifying than a standard horror movie, because this premise could actually happen, and probably has. The Acting is good, and A.J. Cook (Final Destination 2) is a very talented cutie, who really should be seen in more films. I also was glad to see the lovely Sean Young (Blade Runner) again, an equally attractive and talented actress who needs to be seen much more often as well! Thereasa Russell (also a lovely!) is the victimized wife, and plays it well, illustrating the futility and sadness of a co-dependent wife of an abuser. James Russo is the "heavy" in the film. An overbearing, abusive husband and former Marine, who is also a womanizer and control freak. The new neighbors, A. J. Cook and her often absent, traveling husband, are drawn into the world of their neighbors, the Schmidts. Wild parties with young babes in the back yard, and invlovement in crime hinted at, One can see that things just aren't in order at the Schmidt house. It culminates in a web of abuse and murder. Well worth watching!
