“The Neighbor” (2018), starring William Fichtner and Jean Louisa Kelly. (You might remember Fichtner from “The Perfect Storm” [2000], which would have been a good movie if they had left the issue of race out of it, and had just stuck to fishing themes).

This movie is low-key, sedate, maybe even a little boring for some people. But I liked it anyway.

The plot: a suburban writer’s new neighbors shake up his life, and not for the better. He soon wishes he had never met them.

[Movie; 1 hour, 37 minutes].
