Directed by Todd Turner
A young woman discovers the fine line between paranoia and having your worst fears become real in this tale of terror. Molly Wright (Danica McKellar) is a typical college student sharing a house off-campus with her friends. Between her criminology classes, trying to keep up with her homework, and working as a volunteer with a local church group, Molly is wearing herself to a frazzle, so many of her friends think her imagination is working overtime when she begins to wonder aloud if Geoffrey Martin (Tobin Bell), the eccentric artist who has moved into the house next door, might be a serial killer. Molly's friends have a hard time believing her, but Paul Davidson (Billy Dee Williams), a police detective, thinks something funny is going on in the neighborhood after a number of missing persons cases are reported. But can Paul build a case against the killer before Molly becomes his next victim? Good Neighbor was the first feature film from director Todd Turner. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Review by All Movie Guide
Unoriginal -- as well as startlingly inept in its grasp of filmmaking basics such as camera focus, lighting and audibility -- this ridiculous thriller sullied the names of all involved when it turned up on the Mystery cable network under the title The Killer Next Door. Originally known as Good Neighbor and fleetingly available on home video, the film marks a dark moment in the careers of Billy Dee Williams, Wonder Years veteran Danica McKellar and future Saw villain Tobin Bell. Not to be confused with the marginally less execrable Brian Austin Green vehicle from a year later (which was also titled The Killer Next Door but directed by Chris Haifley rather than Todd Turner), this film should be avoided at all costs. That shouldn't be hard, given its lack of distribution and short cable-TV shelf life. ~ Brian J. Dillard, All Movie Guide
