The Neighbour is directed and written by Marcus Dunstan, who brought us the cult horror classics The Collector and The Collection, this brutal, stylish and paranoid thriller tells the story of a married couple who have a next-door neighbour who gets up to worse things than they do!
In the small town of Cutter, Mississippi, army veteran John and his wife Rosie live on a run-down ranch, dreaming of one day escaping to Mexico. To raise the cash John (Josh Stewart, The Collector, The Collection, The Dark Knight Rises, War Machines) runs illicit errands for his uncle.
On the day they plan to finally leave Cutter, Rosie (Alex Essoe, Starry Eyes, Tales Of Halloween) disappears. John thinks his mysterious neighbour, Troy (Bill Engvall, Blue Collar TV), might have something to do with it, and breaks into his house that night. Thinking that his mysterious neighbour, Troy, might have something to do with it, he elects to investigate, but discovers a secret far more sinister than he could ever imagine.

With no less than four films in the Saw franchise under his belt as a script-writer, The Neighbour looks like it is going to provide plenty of nerve-stretching and shriek-inducing thrills as well as some those imaginative kills that we have seen in the Saw films, look out for death by Camcorder and by rotting meat!
The film is stylishly shot and has the added bonus of a soundtrack from Saw composer Charlie Clouser (Composer, the Saw films, The Collection).
If you are a fan of Mother’s Day, Wolf Creek, Straw Dogs and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre then this film certainly going to be the film for you with its pitch black rural noir, ninety minutes of deep-Southern fried, blood-spattered mayhem that doesn’t let up and never lets go.
The Neighbour is available on VOD now and will be released on DVD this Halloween.
