The Girl Next Door- movie review, BONUS Jacobs Ladder

The Girl Next Door

I bought this movie and just finally got around to watching it. I need to remember never to buy a movie unless I watch it first. The movie was disturbing and I like that but it had this made for tv feel to it. The casting was ok, and the writing and acting were so-so. This movie is based on a true story and it is a messed up one at that. The plot is a new girl moves in next to this kid. She moves in with her aunt, along with her little sister, because her parents die in a wreck. The girl and the kid kinda hit it off in a crush way. It is a bit under developed and thrown in a hurry. All of the kids in the movie are ok in general but they say too many curss words which gets annoying. Its not that they over do it a lot it just seems out of place overall in contrast to the time era. Theaunt in the movie is a wacko but I was not feeling her in general. Like I said everybody in this movie was so-so at best. As the movie progresses it pulls you in a bit because it just gets wrong. So you may or may not want to watch it, if you like evil behavior you should at least check it out.

Jacob's Ladder

This is one of the best movies I own for sure. There are so many movies that bite aspects of this one and fail big time. It is about Jacob and a tormenting issue he needs to deal with. He is tortured by this issue and he does not have any clue of what is happening. This is a dark, gritty, freaky film. It is madness. It is very successful at messing with your head in a unsettling way, or at least his. If you are a horror flick fan and like movies that mess with your head in a freaky way this is for you. I would put it in the top ten.
