Like a Good Neighbour

Warning: Spoilers
State Farm does NOT endorse this rear window…but, it's still there.

Wildly independent, Good Neighbours tries to pull off Hitchcock and as a knock-off, it succeeds. Just don't expect the Master's return to the Neighbourhood.

English/French/Canadians share an apartment building while a serial killer/rapist is on the loose. Though this may seem incidental, it all fits in with cat lovers, cat haters and neighbours scheme to have some dark & comedic moments.

Initially, the movie begs us to determine who the bad guy is, but it's fairly obvious over a bit of time. Once established, more plot points are introduced and the games are afoul.

It's a fun little movie to watch. Nothing over the top, nothing groundbreaking. But, for some Hitchcockian flashbacks, it's a descent voyage. Must be a cat lover, though. If you rent here, please respect the pussy.

***

Final thoughts: The description and location of the movie (on the Shudder service) made this seem like a wonderful horror movie. I wouldn't go that far, but it's still worth checking out for some lighter fare.
