10 Horror Films That Exist Purely To Shock And Disgust

4. Neighbor (2009)

Neighbor opens up with our anti-heroine, known only as €œThe Girl€ (America Olivo), making breakfast alone in a big house. Before she walks upstairs she blasts some music on the stereo and starts dancing around the house all sexy-like. When she gets upstairs she finds a young couple tied to chairs and covered in blood. The female is already dead and the male can't be far behind. Instead of reacting to such a horrific sight as any normal person would, our girl turns out to be the reason they're there. After the opening scene, our female mass murderer basically makes her way from house to house killing and torturing people. At the end of the film there€™s a party going on at the house where she killed about six people (she was in the basement) before walking out casually talking to about twenty eyewitnesses, implying there would be a sequel (which happily hasn't happened as of yet). This is perhaps the laziest entry into the torture-porn genre that you're likely to see. When all you have is a horrible lead actress and a lazy plot that repeats itself over and over again people aren€™t going to appreciate it. The story is a one dimensional idea more than any kind of narrative. The performances are woeful and embarrassing and the technical side of the film is a veritable storm of corner-cutting ineptitude. The thing that isn€™t present in Neighbor that could have made all these shortfalls more palatable is a pulse. Outside of the gore, nothing has any life to it.
