BD Review: ‘Good Neighbours’ a Strong Thriller

Published

on

Currently available for download on iTunes and other VOD platforms, writer/director Jacob Tierney’s Good Neighbors – which premiered at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival before being acquired by Magnolia Pictures – will also be released in limited theaters on July 29th. Having recently screened the film, I can honestly say it’s a gem that’s well worth checking out in any form. Below is a taste of my review:

These minor weaknesses aside…one of the central strengths of the film lies in how deftly it manages to defy audience expectations. Just when I thought I knew how things were going to play out, Tierney would toss in another left-field development to throw me off-balance. That is what a good thriller does, after all, and Good Neighbors does it better than most.

You can check out my full review by clicking the title above -which, unlike the spoiler-ific trailer put out by Magnolia (do not view it under any circumstances if you are planning on seeing the film) – doesn’t give away practically every plot twist.

Take your seats. The show is about to begin. Warner Bros. brings us some new marketing for M. Night Shyamalan’s Trap this morning, including a new poster and an original song.

Saleka Shyamalan stars in the upcoming thriller as fictional pop star Lady Raven, and today brings us a first-listen preview of the song “Release” by Saleka as Lady Raven.

Give it a listen right here and find the new official poster for Trap down below.

M. Night Shyamalan’s new thriller for Warner Bros. – the sixteenth movie in his Oscar-nominated career thus far – is headed to movie theaters nationwide on August 9, 2024.

In the upcoming thriller starring Josh Hartnett, “A father and teen daughter attend a pop concert, where they realize they’re at the center of a dark and sinister event.”

As the official trailer for Trap reveals, the pop concert is actually an elaborate trap designed to catch The Butcher, a sadistic serial killer who has been evading authorities.

Hartnett had recently described the mysterious film as “very bizarre” and “very dark.”

According to IMDb, the cast for Trap also includes Hayley Mills, Marnie McPhail, Vanessa Smythe, Saleka Shyamalan, Scott Ian MacDougall, Kristi Woods, and Cali Lorella.

Trap is the first film Shyamalan has made under his new deal with Warner Bros., which has been described as a “multi-year first-look directing and producing agreement.”
