Synopsis
Good Neighbours (2011) is a Canadian thriller from director Jacob Tierney that you can watch online on iFILM. It's the winter of 1995 in Montreal, and a killer is working the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce neighborhood while three tenants of one tired apartment building bond over the headlines.
Spencer rarely leaves his wheelchair or his flat (Scott Speedman). Louise pours all her warmth into two cats and a scrapbook of murder clippings (Emily Hampshire). Then jittery newcomer Victor, played by Jay Baruchel, moves in upstairs. As the city locks its doors against the threat outside, the real danger turns out to be sharing their hallway. Each of the three is hiding something, and none of them is quite safe.
Tierney builds a chilly, chamber-piece thriller where Quebec's second independence referendum hums in the background like static. A young Xavier Dolan turns up in a small role. This one rewards viewers who like dread that creeps in through polite conversation rather than chase scenes. Stream Good Neighbours (2011) online on iFILM.
