The Neighbors Are Watching (2023 TV Movie) User Reviews

Average!

[haroot_azarian · 4/10 · 26 December 2023]

Who jogs in the middle of the street with air pods anywhere let alone 'Murika?! This was the biggest most bizarre aspect of the movie. Otherwise. Kabby Borders did a decent job of acting.

I wouldn't really call psycho handsome! There are plenty of Lifetime regulars who are more handsome!

The other aspect which was unrealistic was how quickly they practiced tonsil hockey, with Amy not knowing anything about Henry!

The neighbors behaviour seemed realistic. It is not unknown how two-faced neighbors can be in real life! One minute tgey are all welcoming and friendly and next thing they gossip and spread rumours behind your back!

The plot was average and it was obvious from very early on who tge psycho antagonist was!

Nosey Neighbors

[lavatch · 8/10 · 24 October 2023]

Life has been a real struggle for Amy Horton, who is still in recovery after a traumatic experience with an abusive husband. With a new teaching job and a recently purchased home in suburbia, she is now beginning a new chapter in her life. She even begins dating one of her neighbors. Then, the nightmare begins!

The conceit of the film was that Amy has a cohort of extremely obnoxious and nosey neighbors. They observe all of her actions ... except for those moments when she is being stalked and harassed by a mysterious stranger. The filmmakers devised a sense of groupthink with the mob mentality of the neighbors.

The actress performing Amy was terrific in responding to a Kafkaesque situation. There was also good dramatic tension sustained throughout the film.

Amy caught a break when Betsy, the ringleader of the snoopy neighbors, actually had a heart of gold. Her habit of collecting lamps also came in handy. This was a well-crafted, well-paced film with a hint of satire on life in the suburbs.
