Kate (Clémence Poésy) and Justin (Stephen Campbell Moore) are an affluent couple in a tony London suburb awaiting not just the arrival of their first-born, but also the new tenants who will rent the apartment downstairs following the death of its previous inhabitant. When Jon (David Morrissey) and Teresa (Laura Birn) move in — he a self-assured businessman, she a self-possessed professional — Kate and Justin set out to befriend their neighbours. Things get off to a good start: the overgrown back garden is restored to its immaculate former glory, and, lo and behold, the new couple is also expecting a child. They seem to have lots in common, but things take a strange turn at their first dinner party, and yet another with the birth of Kate and Justin's baby boy. (Toronto International Film Festival)

If the Governor moved into my building, I would grab my pregnant wife and run as fast as I can. That can’t end up well, right? Nicely shot thriller, with decent performances, but unfortunately too predictable. It’s watchable but nothing memorable.

Although the subject may seem quite classic and the finale isn't as unexpected as the creators try to present it, it's still a disturbing theme that will make you shake a bit while watching because this is something that plants fear directly into your subconscious. It's uncomfortable just to watch, but it's good for the film because it makes it all the more powerful.
