A psychological thriller movie that stars Jennifer Lopez as a Claire Peterson who gets tangled in obsession of her neighbour next door Noah Sandborn played by Ryan Guzman. It has the right amount of suspense and tense moments to make it an effective thriller movie but its story is kinda predictable already with themes of obsession and stalking. I don’t see any wrong acting to Jennifer Lopez here or to Ryan Guzman to have this movie panned by other critics. But I think the story is kinda not new in Hollywood movies and many find it rehash story about stalking and obsession. Some parts of the stories are said to be stupid like forgetting to put password on computer to protect sex tape files and no early involvement of police in the story, yet I just find them shallow parts of the story. Boy Next Door may have not achieve what it should and appears to be - a smart thriller and serious movie but I find it an entertaining film to watch.
