- YouTube Trailer Fueled by icy sexuality and raw violence, Next Door is a chilling and provocative thriller with a mind-bending twist. Newly single, John (Kristoffer Joner) befriends the two women living in the cluttered labyrinth of an apartment next door.

Could it be the end of John’s sanity, or is it just what he needs to see things clearly for the first time?
