Naboer/Next-Door is the story of a man whose two eerie female next-door neighbours appear to be playing some kind of bizarre and perverse psycho-sexual game with him.
The eeriness is particularly effective in the first half of the film, although as the story proceeds, it's not long before the outcome is going to be fairly obvious.
It's a well-done film however, psychologically taut and engrossing and the protagonist's mind appears to be unravelling while being seduced and then provoked in turn by the inconsistent behaviour and stories from his weird neighbours.
Nice and dark, with fairly strong acting (particularly from the girls) and, it being a Norwegian film, there are no stupid Hollywood gags or one-liners to detract from the spooky atmosphere.

I really enjoyed this film, it has a strange pace to it and some very interesting twists and turns. The main actor is excellent and his performance carries you through a maze of events with rare intensity. I enjoyed the other performances also. But it is the director and the photography which sets this apart from other films of a similar budget. It looks very stylish and the use of camera is at times mesmerising, with some wonderful use of lighting. But aside from the technical workings, the film is worth a watch and i would recommend it to most people

Yeah, Next Door was an exciting, fast-paced, eerie film with good twists and turns. but what i'd like to know is, why on earth is it listed in the gay and lesbian section? there is nothing homosexual about this film whatsoever! so, to those of you who are going to purchase this film in the hopes of it being gay/lesbian, don't bother.

I liked the movie, wasn't as gruesome as I thought it would have been though. Would have been better if it was in English.. All in all, not a bad buy!!

mind games.
this film is crazy and sick but it keeps you guessing the rape scene was a bit much.
