The last horror, thriller or suspense film you watched

A few weeks (almost a month behind), but some of the movies I have seen earlier this month, this one ended up as quite a pleasant surprise:

Next Door (1994) by Barney Cohen

"Words are turds. Words are fucking turds."

In a seemingly peaceful and very nice neighborhood, a small and innocent feud is about to turn into an intense and personal war between to "friendly" neighbors, and where their different backgrounds and lifestyles will eventually fade away in favor of the bitter and sweet taste of revenge, no matter how far into madness it might lead them.

There is and will most likely always be something rather fascinating about the stories of neighbourly feuds. Some might be very short and intense, while other seems to carry on for decades, and often they tend to start out by just some random, stupid or idiotic daily situtations, which we rarely even bother with in the first place. But sometimes it is not much more needed, than having a dog doing his business onto the next door neighbors neat and tidy lawn, or the hyperactive kids next door, who never seems to be quiet, and where their parents never bother to ask them to maybe not scream their lungs out, all day long, and now in this case, with the two very different family's, hell is gonna start, all because of a water sprinkler.

Which is not only bad news for the garden flowers, but it also means that the more "intellectual" and normal family of the Coler's (James Woods and Kate Capshaw) will for now on, take to the battle trenches and where they will go into war with the more "simple" and loud Benedittie's (Randy Quaid and Lucinda Jenney).    

I really enjoyed this very surprisingly and entertaining tv-movie, which seems to start up as a bit of an goofy comedy, but over the run, it soon becomes clear that there is going to be a far more darker and creepy vibe, as it seems to combines black comedy, slapstick and at times feels very much like a psychological thriller, yet never really quite finds out what it really wants to be, I guess, still I really liked most of it, which of course has a lot to do with the 4 main leads, and loved seeing Randy Quaid going completely crazy, but also how James Woods tried to reason with him, but over time realized that some people are just not ever gonna be able of getting through to, in a normal manner that is.

I wanted to give this highly entertaining movie a better rating, however the version I saw, was through Youtube, and sadly the sound "quality" was at times awful, and sounded like it was made inside a container or inside a garbage can, as there was just so much that got lost because I had to constantly use my remote control, in order to keep on turning up and down the volume, and it was only at the end, it kind of started to sound more normal. 
However, I guess I cannot complain too much, as I had never heard of it, until just recently, but it surely has to be one of the better tv made movie during the 90s, and I wished it was out on a DVD, I would pick it up in a heartbeat, but as of now I guess the version uploaded on the internet, for free as well, is much better than having nothing.

6,5/10
