This 1994 movie has the makings of a good film; its not a tale of feuding neighbors, more about the bully next door, whom we hope as viewers and as the story unfolds will sooner or later get his 'reward'. I enjoyed the picture and my main quibble is it cannot be described in any way as a 'comedy' and even 'black comedy' would be stretching it.If my neighbor attacked me violently, poisoned the family dog or attempted to rape my spouse.... how can that be said in any way to be funny?! One significant feature of the film was how the police often fail to act with violent neighbors, and such unjustified non-action has the ring of truth about it. A good cast were hampered by the film makers failing to realize that this movie deserved to be pure drama.
