My dead daughter has been coming home for a week

Local neighbourhood creepy dude serial killer thriller with lingering horror elements, wedged between 10 other stories. Would have been fine if this were a mini-series, but for 115mins, a lot of it becomes excess baggage.
With the endless assortment of community characters chewing up the runtime of an already interesting premise, it really only works if any of them interest the viewer.
Ma Dong-seok, Kim Sae-ron and Kim Yunjim were standouts for me, while the rest were just there.
The collective involvement of everyone within the community lead to a satisfying conclusion, but we didn't really need to delve into all of their life stories.
Another film I had fond memories of upon discovery, but can't score it based on nostalgia.

scary neighborhood. routine thriller nothin else.

Barely able to control his impulses, a serial killer still manages to run up a decent bodycount in his own backyard... largely due to the immediate community's civic pride being crippled by doubt, indifference and conflicted interest. You'll probably come to this for a pre-fame Ma Dong-seok as loan shark the tenants association is hoping gets locked up for the initial murder - but its a rich ensemble with Kim Sung-kyun's killer, Yunjin Kim's grieving stepmother, Chun Ho-jin's haunted security guard, and Jang Young-nam's site manager - all chewing up the scenery.

The Neighbours is wonderful - to the point where I'm probably going to track down the Kang Full Webtoon its adapted from..... which is saying a lot, as I really dislike webtoons.

Solid serial killer procedural that rather than focusing on the act itself, or the police investigation, revolves around the effect it has on the immediate community and how they piece whats happening under their noses. Great ensemble cast carries it though the direction is a little amateurish at times, especially with some odd shot choices, but overall this is a decent addition to the genre, particularly if you're looking for something a little different.

I liked it, but goddamned it was stressful.

Murder, mystery, spookiness and high tension. A good cocktail for a strong thriller.

Brilliant cast - massive props to Kim Sae-ron. Damn that girl has talent.

my big man beated him tf up yessss

As thrilling as ever, with its truly delightful game of cat and mouse and an amazing ensemble cast. Kim Sae-ron in a double role is still the mvp and you should stop reading this and just go and watch the film.

Solid thriller based on a web toon. Couldnhave done without the very minor supernatural side to it.

The Neighbors is about an apartment building that is harboring a very sloppy serial killer and the residents all have their suspicions along with reservations about alerting anyone. Its melodramatic, it's dark and Don Lee turns up to throw a few punches here and there.

Academy Award goes to free pizza.

Apartment ensemble melodrama that happens to be about that ensemble realizing one of the residents is a serial killer. A lot of threads that are very slowly pulled towards taut nerve-wracking suspense and confrontations in the second half. Yunjin Kim provides a sympathetic anchor as a grieving mother haunted by her dead daughter. Kim Sung Kyun is wholly convincing as the awkward murdering creep. And this Ma Dong Seok guy is scene-stealing magnetic as the local loan shark; yes, those one-&-done punches and open-hand slaps are indeed present

Overall, a decent drama that segues into several tense sequences, especially its crescendoing climax
