Info

Neighbors Spencer and Louise have bonded over their fascination with a recent string of murders terrorizing their community. When a new tenant named Victor moves into the building, all three quickly hit it off. However, they soon discover each has his or her own dark secret. As the violence outside mounts, the city retreats indoors for safety. But the more time these three neighbors spend together in their apartment building, the clearer it becomes that what they once thought of as a safe haven is as dangerous as any outside terrors they could imagine.

Good Neighbours Audience Reviews

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
SnoopyStyle It's October 1995 Montreal. There is a serial killer out on the loose. Victor (Jay Baruchel) is moving into a 4th floor walkup. His neighbours are cat lady Louise (Emily Hampshire) and wheelchair bound Spencer (Scott Speedman). Louise is working at a local Chinese restaurant where waitress Johanne (Kaniehtiio Horn) is killed one night in the streets. Victor walks Louise home from the restaurant every night. Spencer turns out to be able to walk and somebody poisons Louise's cat.Director Jacob Tierney is able to get an offbeat eerie vibe sort of like 'Shallow Grave' except nothing so cool and thrilling. It's a serial killer thriller that lives on its atmosphere for the most part. Baruchel is quirky cute. Hampshire is a quirky adoring cat lady. Speedman is good as Spencer hiding a secret. The three of them form a very compelling trio. The movie does need more tension. It would probably help to condense the timeline. It's good creepy throughout with an underlining low key dark humor.
Lechuguilla It's the story of three strange friendships, with a serial killer lurking in the background. Lives of the three single people, two guys and a gal, all under age 30, become intertwined over a five-month period as a result of living in close proximity in a Montreal apartment building. The film is less a whodunit than a play of mind games, as unlikely events collide, to force the three to question each others motives, then plot ways to a self-interested outcome.The three characters are mildly interesting, though the Victor character is so neurotic, and dense to others' cues, he quickly becomes grating. I see that as a script problem. There are also a couple of significant plot holes. And the ending I find less than satisfying, as it leaves viewers wondering, and questions unanswered.Casting is acceptable. Acting is fine given the subdued story line. Visuals trend a bit dark. Most of the plot is set indoors. "Good Neighbors" is a low-budget film, and uses a minimal cast and minimal sets. Overall, the film has a pleasantly European look and feel, with interspersed French dialogue, Canadian accents, musty interiors, and cold climate exteriors.If you're looking for a whodunit, or an extravagant production, or a film of great thematic depth, look elsewhere. Notwithstanding weakness previously described, "Good Neighbors" excels at character drama, with a touch of low-key quirkiness; a cozy, intimate little film worth a one-time watch on a cold winter night.
missismiggins As with all of my reviews that question the Jewish influence in the movie, you will see that it is automatically deleted by the Stazi thought police at IMDb or any of their servants, you can have a dig at anything about a movie as long as it doesn't criticize a Jew or the likes of Spielberg. These people deplore the right to free speech which they like to control in their hook nosed media only giving out good reviews to movies that tend to agree to their Semitic reasoning, they make me vomit! Away we go with a reasonably interesting murder mystery, interestingly enough set in Quebec.Within 15 minutes, we have to be force fed that the "pathetic" "harmless" "awkward" "ever helpful" new tenant that wears ridiculous clothes, has pathetic friends and relatives, behaves like a fish out of water, but such a "good guy" is Jewish! Wow...as if we couldn't have guessed! Building wheelchair ramps out of the goodness of his heart etc. Some of this is absolutely vomit provoking.Did this movie really need to make a point of the prat being a Jew? Couldn't they have just made the movie??? Oh...and by the way...the bad guy is a 6 foot blonde Aryan...just for originality! Why oh why do the Jews FORCE their sanctimonious CRA@ down our throats with every movie they make? In the past year, virtually every new movie HAS to include a reference to the Holocaust or similar...enough is simply enough!
movieman_kev Victor, a tall, lanky, awkward guy moves into an apartment complex in Canada. He's quick to attempt to befriend a girl and her wheelchair bound fiancé. However there's a killer on the loose and things slowly begin to unravel.A very slow and plodding movie yet well-acted enough to keep my interests despite some character motivations that were quizzical to say the least. Even an ending that left many more questions than answers, didn't detract from my enjoyment of the film (that much) That being said, your mileage may vary, just keep in mind that it's much more a quirky character study and NOT a horror film, nor ever much of a thriller for that matter.
