Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

hyped garbage

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

Let me start by saying I love Investigation Discovery. I'm constantly looking for shows on ID that I haven't seen and I just recently located Nightmare Next Door. After watching, I deliberately came here looking for reviews to see if anyone else felt as I did about the narration and, lo and behold, almost everyone did. I like the stories. But ID missed the boat on the narration here by trying to make it lighthearted and humorous. Not only are the puns/jokes/metaphors ridiculous, they are completely inappropriate in this setting. The show is talking about murder and the producers of this show think that is something to joke about? The victims and families deserve more respect than this. Narration should be serious and fact-based. Period. Shame on you, ID. You have disappointed me.

The narrator is apparently know for his work on "The Natural History of The Chicken". It's like someone else wrote, this is not Americas Funniest Home Videos. When there was a pun made while investigating the death of a child I was astonished. I have watched a ton of true crime and this is just so disrespectful of the families, the victims, and the law enforcement agencies that handle the cases. This show has potential but I just can't deal with the narrator. I feel very badly for the families involved who had to watch this played out with the disrespect that was shown.I really hope that the reviews on here are effective and help the families know that the viewers take their pain and sadness seriously. Many people do not think this is a joke and don't want to watch horrible events trivialized with bad puns and incredible disrespect.

I'm not sure why the writers think it is okay to use so many lame puns and alliteration at an ATTEMPT to make the narration funny when they're telling stories of raped and killed children! The writers should consider writing children's books instead of true crime. The episode in particular showed the detective baking pizza in his kitchen. I was so confused as to why this was even in the show. Then he made a statement about having all the ingredients for a recipe (like solving a crime). Then the narrator followed with a terrible pun, "Without the right ingredients, this case may end up half-baked!" This episode was about a little girl who was raped and murdered in the woods. It was full of puns, alliteration, and sarcasm which comes off as completely insensitive and tactless.

I RARELY write reviews on anything BUT upon seeing others felt the same way about this show and its narrator/narration, I had to chime in and agree.First off, I have been watching the ID channel religiously since it started. For the most part, I love the programming despite the poor, amateur dramatizations portrayed in many shows. But if there is any show that is nearly UNWATCHABLE, it is "Nightmare Next Door". And as noted above, this is a result of the narrator and his corny/insensitive way of telling the story...BS metaphor after metaphor that completely belittle the horror these people and their families have experienced. In my opinion, ID needs to do something about this. It honestly makes me want to vomit whenever I hear this guy's voice. I'd be outraged if I was the family of these victims!
