Richard and Priscilla Parker have been happily married for years and so are not particularly inclined to get to know their new neighbours, the Otises. Eddy Otis, however, is a man who will not be ignored, and soon the Parkers are fast becoming close friends with Eddy and his wife, Kay. A little too close, in fact.

DVD Description
Richard and Priscilla Parker (Kevin Kline and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) are an ordinary suburban couple whose lives are invaded and rocked by their fast-living, secret-bearing, new neighbours, Eddy and Kay Otis (played by Kevin Spacey and Rebecca Miller) in this psychological thriller with intriguing plot twists. The film is rife with themes of paranoid mayhem, manipulation and deception. Spacey, in one of his first feature roles, gives a showy but charismatic performance as the evil neighbour, creating a smooth and charming surface appeal worthy of an Alfred Hitchcock villain.
