Film Review - The Boy Next Door
January 22, 2015
The curious career of director Rob Cohen takes another predictably disastrous turn with “The Boy Next Door.” An attempt to fashion his own “Fatal Attraction,” Cohen once again arrives with his shoelaces tied together, unable to pull a single moment of suspense or even basic drama out of an exhaustively moronic screenplay by Barbara Curry, who’s equally to blame for this insufferable motion picture. Laughably inept, appallingly performed, and riddled with enough gaps in logic to qualify it as a sci-fi endeavor, “The Boy Next Door” isn’t even approachable as junk food, failing to turn flatlining material into deliciously sinful escapism.
