The Neighbor

Synopsis

John lives in New Mexico with his girlfriend Rosie. They have one neighbour Troy, who is creepy as hell. One day Rosie idly looks through the telescope in their living room and is shocked to spy Troy in his yard chasing an injured man who he brutally clubs to the ground. She is even more shocked when Troy turns and appears to look straight at her. Later that evening John returns home to find that Rosie is gone. Seeing where the telescope is focused he puts two and two together and resolves to break in next door to see if he can find her.
But John could never prepare for the night to come. For in the basement of Troy’s house he finds hell on earth...
