The Neighborhood Nightmare (2018 TV Movie)
5/10
bad sound design and bad turn
6 January 2019
It's the gated community of Shady Grove. Lindsay Porter (Julie McNiven) has been divorced for two year and has teenage daughter Jamie. She owns a local gym and Valerie is a new employee who left her abusive ex-husband. Stephen Lane is the new neighbor. Kat Riley is the single real estate agent who sold Stephen the house. Nikki is Jamie's best friend and Janet Chung is Nikki's mother. Barrett is the night watchman. Despite vowing never to marry again, Lindsay starts dating Stephen.

After reading all the bad reviews, I got interested. Apparently, the music and sound design annoyed some people. The sound design is bad at the start. The non-stop music cues get annoying. The story itself intrigued me with a whodunnit which I like. Once the reveal happens, the culprit becomes a ridiculous psycho. The villain turn is so over the top that whatever appeal is lost. Up until that point, I almost forgive the movie for all its flaws.
