Every killer lives next door to someone , this is gotta be one of the thrillers of the year for me, no predictable once upon a times in this movie, it starts off with Kale<Shia LaBeouf> involved in a tradedy which gets you hooked from the begining, Kale<Shia LaBeouf> then becomes a bit of a problematic teenager he is placed under house arrest for punching his spanish teacher in class.
Kale occupies himself by spying on his neighbours, with nothing else to do he focuses his attensions on one of the quiet neversee neighbours Mr. Turner<David Morse> along the way he gets friendly with his newly moved in neighbour Ashley<Sarah Roemer>, while being stuck under house arrest, Kale finds himself watching many a news report where missing girl reports keep cropping up, this seems to set a warning light as the neversee neighbours seems to fit the description, after spying on neighbours with his trusty binocloirs he seems to witness what appears to be a murder taking part in Mr Turners house, after this occurance, Kale becomes obsessed about the goings on over the fence, Is this his overactive imagination taking its grip due to boredom? or is there a serial killer on the prey?
If you get a chance to see this in the cinema, grab it, it will have you tapping the olde feet in some scenes<no pillows available> this film reminds me of a grown up adult version of the 80s films The Burbs<Tom Hanks>.
"Where are the coffee and doughnuts? You can't have a stakeout without coffee and doughnuts"
GO SEE!.
