A Neighbor’s Deception: Directed by Devon Downs, Kenny Gage. With Ashley Bell, Tom Amandes, Gates McFadden, Adam Mayfield. A woman begins to suspect that her therapist neighbor’s offer to free treatment is not the altruistic gesture it was meant to be.

“While soundtrack music pulsates, a young man in denim searches for a terrified young woman. She hides under the bed to escape his clutches, but doesnu0026#39;t manage to get away. The next thing we see is a couple moving away from the city, attractive Ashley Bell (as Chloe) and her lawyerly husband Adam Mayfield (as Michael Anderson). They have been successfully trying to have a baby and Ms. Bell has had a nervous breakdown. The new neighborhood seems ideal, but the older couple next-door, retired psychiatrist Tom Amandes and early drinker Isabella Hofmann (as Gerald and Cheryl Dixon) give off creepy vibrations…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBell does not watch u0026quot;Lifetimeu0026quot; TV movies because she decides to get chummy with the neighbors…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCo-directors Devon Downs and Kenny Gage adequately guide this formula assignment, by writer Adam Rockoff. There is very little spark and only a few surprises. The opening u0026quot;attention grabberu0026quot; or u0026quot;teaseru0026quot; works, but is never fully explained; it doesnu0026#39;t make much sense. Bell jogs in the most unusual places, at all hours of the day, and on terrains most unwelcome to jogging. She would probably mistake a bed-of-nails for a trampoline. Probably, the explanation is that she is looking for places to photograph. The soundtrack songs are very good, but they should complement instead of taking you out of the story.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e*** A Neighboru0026#39;s Deception/ Next Door (4/8/2017) Devon Downs, Kenny Gage ~ Ashley Bell, Tom Amandes, Isabella Hofmann, Adam Mayfield”
