... View MoreThe story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
... View MoreKid you not, this sucker gets a bit grisly. Bob and Wendi(Jack Huston and Pell James)move to their new home in what they thought would be like paradise, but low and behold this suburban neighborhood is more like a dead zone. What neighbors left seem pretty strange, but none stranger than the former mayor's son Adrien(Nick Searcy). He delivers a bouquet of poison oak that makes a mess of Wendi. Then the psychopathic Adrien delivers poisoned candy that leaves both Bob and Wendi with debilitating diarrhea. Now things progress to weirdness. Adrien performs an amateur surgery on Wendi then operates on himself. As if playing with his own guts is not enough; the neighborhood nut job pulls off the strangest masturbation scene you'll ever see. He fingers a busted stitched hole in his belly as he repeatedly stabs his testicles with a hypodermic needle.I don't feel I've spoiled this one that much since seeing it for yourself is more entertaining than hearing about it. Also in the cast: Anina Lincoln, Meredith Morton and John Ennis.
... View MoreGoing into Neighborhood Watch, I really knew nothing about it. A year or two ago it had some nice hype surrounding it, but somehow it stayed pretty damn elusive....well, to people who don't have the means, if ya know what I mean. But thankfully, a pal of mine gave me the opportunity to view this, and I'm happy to say this film delivered the goods.The story revolves around a husband and wife who move into their new home, he's got a new job and she's happy decorating the house. All seems well until they meet their neighbor Adrian. Let me just say before Adrian appears on screen the movie is slightly tedious, not so entertaining and the feel of it's low-budgetness is really evident. But the actor who plays Adrian brings an over-the-top insanity that was really a fun ride witnessing. Like what Evol said in his review, this movie delivers some really good laughs. It's dark comedy at it's darkest, and when delivered by this goofy, insane character, it's really a nice treat.Overall the movie isn't really amazing, but with it's dark themes and dark humor, Neighborhood Watch turned out to be a very welcome addition to the weird world of horror. Definitely give this movie a shot if you enjoy low budget films that are weird and most definitely sick. 7.5 outta 10
... View MoreWell after reading some of the buzz on the internet, I obtained an advanced screener of the movie. When I heard that people were having physical reactions to the film, I knew it would be right up my alley. I was not disappointed! I love a good villain, and Adrian is not your typical bad guy. Most psychopaths in horror movies have a mystery about them, and you don't see the human side. With Adrian, it is his "realness" that makes him so freaky, you actually could live next door to him! I really like the lead actors, and within the story, small characters shine and add some levity to the suspense. Without spoiling anything, I'll just say that the final scenes will be scarred into memory probably for life!
... View MoreHaving heard about NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH for about a year now, I'm glad I got to finally see it not too long ago. I had heard how "sick" and "disgusting" it was, and I will admit that the film has a few moments that are pretty out-there - but I don't think it was nearly as graphic as others made it seem. The other thing that I noticed that I don't seem to be seeing much mention of made - is that at it's heart, NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH is really a very dark comedy. There's a lot going on in this film that's pretty funny for those of us with a sick sense of humor.A young couple moves into a new neighborhood and immediately sense that their neighbor Adrian is a bit "off". The couple tries to convince the rest of the neighborhood's residents to band together against Adrian, but to no avail. Adrian continuously poisons the couple until they are near-death - and it's a fight to stay alive and rid themselves of their psychotic neighbor once and for all...NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH is an entertaining and pretty well made film for a low-budget joint, and I think most horror fans and those with a twisted sense of humor will enjoy this one. Again, yeah - there are a few "sick" parts, but I think that whole aspect of the film has been pretty overblown - at least for those that are used to more "underground" horror films. Make sure to keep an ear out for the radio-show that Adrian constantly listens to - that sh!t is hilarious...8/10
