What i have learnt and reminded of this Great movie. I Must be intentional with my life. Be Prayerful discerning and act wisely. Have good emotional insight Have good spiritual insight Have good physical insight Be clear ✨️ Be intelligent Be smart❤ Dont be a people pleaser you cant save everyone 💯.learn to say no when its a no.Yes when its a yes.
How about letting God have all the control and obey. Die to self and know God's ways are higher and smarter. Tough to do, easy to say. 😅🙋🏻♀️🇨🇦Humility is not so easy.
@@Clarice-e6gEvery person wants to be accepted love. Jesus said though that nothing will stop being hated. If the world hated Me, then it will hate you... But it hates who lives in us, not us. Satan hates us all who love God. 😊🙋🏻♀️🇨🇦? we can not just love or like the loveable or likeable. No exceptions. What reward is there in only being nice to those nice to us. Jesus taught this. 😊 I too am accused by my one buddy and it is not always easy to gear back emotionally.
If ever someone needed the spirt of discernment it was this woman. LORD have mercy! It is okay to blatantly tell people no, but if they persist be firm and stand you ground. Christians, we don't have to let every single person into our lives just because we are Christians and to be nice, no we must pray to God and ask Him who to let into our lives and those we are to keep out.
Really well said .There is no shame in being discerning. There are those who act good and kind b/c they need the attention. It feels good to be kind & want nothing in return & I have never read anywhere that God does not allow good & bad to happen to everyone. We are living in very strange times, If you pray for Wisdom about a certain person around your home or family and you feel a deep sense of urgency to protect yourself & your family , I pray for others always and when in doubt ; for wisdom the one time I doubted the answer I was badly injured b/c some people are not safe. I think you worded that perfectly!
My thoughts exactly!! No discernment at all, and no wisdom!! I’m happy to see that they were stood down or stood themselves down as pastor/leader at the church. Maybe need more Experience under more experienced pastors before taking on the head roll. I did admire their hearts for God though!! I use to be like this wife (a long time ago as a baby Christian) and it nearly got me killed!! Being too nice. We are told Matthew 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. God bless you!! ❤
@@Gabrielle-Z Amen!! I totally agree 👍. I believe we should choose our friends. Don't let them choose us. God chose us!! Amen? What a friend I have in Jesus 💗🙏😇🤗
Halfway through the movie and I'm hooked. The actor portraying the pastor perfectly embodies the ego-fueled, jealous dude-bro. The neighbor is a perfectly creepy antagonist and the wife is a great doe-eyed oblivious people pleaser.
Idk the whole film kinda shallow to me. I've seen psychopathic and sex offender of priests, but no way they could be so prone to outbursts like that and not in public. And the wife is kinda super stupid, but I guess that summed up most true believers, eh? And the way that nuthead neighbor held the knife in the wrong direction towards the end of the film lmao.
Thanks for this comment because I was skeptical about this movie but since said you were hooked I am definitely going to watch it. I will be back to comment. ☮️💟
The wife was superficial, even though the husband told her not to socialize with a dude they didn’t know anything about, had a very shady behavior and she still she continued to welcome the dude. She needed discernment, connected with the sociopath way more than the husband.
Developing ANY relationship with neighbors, in the long run.....is always a recipe for great trouble down the road. Maintain your privacy and make others respect your boundaries and limits . This is an indisputable truth and reality.
My parents instilled this belief in us from a very young age. I still believe it. Just a quick hello or a brief chat about the weather is enough for me. Though if it sounds like someone is getting hurt, is yelling very loudly, or is smashing things up, I will anonymously call the cops.
People are a reflection of our inner self. That man showed them some things about themselves. Then at the end a different stranger shows him something else about himself. Full circle. Good movie!
👀 OH, WOW! Great lesson to be learned, never let your guard down by trusting a stranger! Even if it’s a neighbor, as a woman point of view most men are a step ahead to see if you’re willing! Sin or not, evil never sleeps! AMEN
Women can also be out on the prowl on street corners, the workplace or out to see who they can lure into their homes, and do not make the mistake to think older women are all kindhearted and sincere.
@maricamaas2326. I totally agree. Women aren't always the victim and men are still judged unfairly. We will never know how many men suffer from DV while cops laugh at them when they try to report it. True story. Men and women working together can achieve results and it all starts with children. Teaching them how to handle the bad stuff without violence is the key to ending DV or reducing the numbers. If their mum and dad fight it becomes learned behaviour and they go on to perpetuate it. It's all they know. I've put this to womens groups and they are so embittered they treat me like the enemy, not as a fellow DV survivor wanting to seek ways to create change. I would appreciate your thoughts on this if you have a spare moment.
The neighbor showed all signs from the beginning. The wife wanted to help him become saved that she ignored the signs of something being deeply wrong with him. They never even ask for his name. His childhood trauma and him not getting therapy and help for it eventually led to his demise. The pastor only look at him as another soul to win, but at least he saw the red flags and tried to avoid anything bad from happening. This was a good movie.
@@IwasBlueb4 Schizophrenia doesn't cause people to be mean and evil. His was that from the beginning, My partner's brother is Schizophrenia and he is as kind as can be and has always been that way. He certainly didn't bother anyone and cause harm to people.
I believe in Jesus but I don't get along with most Christians. Many of them are not genuinely interested in you. They fake it because they want you to believe they're good people...
Very well done movie, the guy that played the neighbor played his part very well, loved the Christian theme the movie had! Injoyed it very much, excellent movie 😊❤
Little corny at first, but it really has an awesome message. I remember years ago walking out of a movie and feeling touched or moved. This was just like that! Keep watching, it has a wonderful message ❤️🙏🏻
Yes! Also was a good illustration of how harbouring anger at someone is as if killing them. One should be careful to not even come close to a door that could lead one into temptation. Be vigilant - on guard: The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy...
I like how this points out through Each Character the Shallowness, Hypocrisy and Narcissism that Embodies Most Christians today. Poignantly Pointing out Exactly WHY: Bad things happen to Good People.
As a pastor or wife of a pastor,when you see a troubled soul,you should be able to identity and also set your boundaries.The couple are two young ,immature and inexperienced people threading very dangerous part.
I’m glad you said that! I was kinda like really? A pastors wife act like that without considering the safety of her family. Letting male stranger/neighbor to your home is a No No to me.
I need to say that in the US often so many people call themselves pastors, who have yes followed christian classes/groups/little studies but rare are those who actually have studied theologia and many are very young. It can be very challenging for churches and wisdom would be to have brothers/elders in Christ to help lead the church. Many because if their young age lack of many things.
Sometimes we have to go through hard long lessons to finally understand what God is trying to tell us. It’s amazing how long it takes sometimes but better late than never.🙏❤️🕊
It is not because we have to it is because we mistake and make bad choices Those are only results of what we chose but its not God that make us go through them, God is good, He aint here to punish, blame and hurt us
This movie is perfect. The ending is just how it's supposed to be, to hopefully pass on its point in how God let us go through what may be the end for us but really it's our recognition of our true strength that he placed in all of our hearts. Thank you God.
She should have listened to her husband and where is her son. That neighbor is out of control with a vengeance. Being a pastor and a Christian is a hard job. The brother gave him a positive message it was much needed.
The friend who is counciling the wife is “spot on” in the advice that she is rendering to the wife!❤ I’m not married, nor, did I ever have a family, but, I understand a lot about spirituality.
That woman made me angry throughout this movie. He could have lost his son and husband because she failed to listen to her husband. What's the need of marriage if we can't rely and respect eachother's intuition? And who let's a stranger into her home while she's out and accept a mirror of all things into her bedroom? She's too trusting and I believe they are people like her in real life.
@@judy2090Amen THATS so True, we choose to get angry in this crazy world today! Everything is a choice & I choose to stay Happy & at Peace with my Jesus 🤗✝️💞
Wow--a Christian thriller! Loved it! What I got is that you need to pray to the Holy Spirit before you go evangelizing to people. Just like you ask someone before you can pray for them, you need to do the same in evangelizing--otherwise you risk opening yourself up to demons. Also, when doing door-to-door ministry, if you know it's a single man and he's not elderly, it's a good idea to bring your spouse, or at least another adult, NOT you and your young child. Thanks for uploading!😊😊😊
Yea, pray and ask some spirit protection to The lord b4 you go to preach.... So that you can control you self being mad easily... But sometimes, being angry is not bad too, especially when you're right but no one believes you.. remember, Jesus was mad too when he found out that people make his church like a market place before...
People need to be careful. You can not trust everyone. The way that he only wants to talk to her and for her to be the only one to come every Thursday with cookies is strange. People keep your eyes open, ears open, hands open and mouth shut so you can receive the message from God.
I stopped evangelizing long long long ago it brought me a lot of grief harm, and of course don't ever do it in My own strength until God willing says more with somebody other than that no way NO way! And it's only a movie it's a little bit comical, I don't think pastors that are driven by the holy Spirit would even hire a female assistant in the first place neither
Being a pastor doesn't mean you have to be a saint. We are still humans , but that doesn't mean you had to bathe with male strangers. Entertain him even if he's talking about off limits . We have to be careful. That is why God said choose a friends. Wisely, God bless us all❤
yes always be careful of people who say " God Says" loool that creeps me out lol Be afraid of people who think god cares about their random things in life.
I enjoyed the movie I must say, when your husband tell you stay away please listen to what he says. Sometimes one can see something we can't see.I knew from the start, that neighbor wanted to intervene it was plain to see. Yes he wanted more than cookies that's for sure, he truly wanted more.Well again, great movie, keep them coming I'll be there to watch that's for sure, I'll give it 5 stars.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My ex husband used to say he married me because i was beautiful like the pastor said to the neighbour,you have no idea how much i hated him saying that as looks fade,i wanted him to marry me because he loved me not because of what i looked like,its not a compliment.
Every male married a woman because of the physical. If a male tells his wife any different, he's lying. Where did you get the idea that males care about what's beyond their wife's good looks?
@@heyokakoyeh Men care. You sound ridiculous. Yes, looks are the first thing that they notice...but no man with half a brain is going to marry a woman just for her looks. If what you are saying is true then no wonder society is doomed. 😂
That woman is the worst character in this movie. She's super annoying. Inviting an unknow neighbour inside her Bathtub? What would she do if the table had turned and she met his pastor husband inside tub with a young woman? If you love being angry after watching a movie, you can try this movie.
She didn't invite him to join her into the hot tub. She meant he could use it by himself another day, but he took advantage of her offer, he joined her right then, she was surprised but because of her good manners, she didn't say anything about it. Some women would have told him to get out, that she meant by himself on another day. And obvious from the git go, the neighbour had mental health issues.
@@judy2090 She had no respect for herself, for her husband , for norms of society (including Christian norms). She only thought of being nice, and likeable to someone she knew nothing about.
I dont think she wanted to be appreciated She just felt left behind because her husband was not leading her great He should not have pick that secretary #1 Never tempted the devil And #2 he had anger issues that was not fixed before he marry her #3 he is the man and men leads their family for the good of the family not for the good of him ...etc
This is why it's advisable to marry a woman who is intelligent and achievement-oriented, so she can identify a problem before it gets bigger and is not gullible and easily played
@@SunShineLady-d4r Wisdom is a desired trait, which (sadly for most of us) comes slowly - over years; this mainly by making mistakes through our own wrong choices and by failing.
My take on this movie. Good is always in a struggle against evil, light against darkness. God gave the neighbor a last chance to change, he sent a Pastor Zack to live near him. The pastor and his wife tried their best to change the neighbor. But he chose to remain in his evil ways, trying to get the better of them through his devious means. God prevented the family from being seriously harmed, but in the process Pastor Zack lost his calling due to his strong guilt. He forgot that God is a forgiving God. But God sent a co worker to remind the ex pastor about Gods' nature to forgiving (story of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11 - 32: ). Very Good Movie.
Hoping for a good movie Ive been so stressed about my kitty but tonight I can say I see improvement. Tjx to those of u who have written to tell me they have prayed for her. All the love
I wouldn’t want a wife like Amber and I wouldn’t let strangers in my hot tub, my home and I wouldn’t accept any gifts from strangers (or so called “neighbors”).
Yesterday, I met an old lady who wanted to give job as a cleaner.I told her I wasn't interested, and that I was a seamstress. She then offered to give me some fabrics . What a gift! I accepted and agreed to go to her house. When she said that I must come in the evening and by myself I got scared. I don't know if I watch too many crime documentary. I just thought of all those people who get kidnapped and are enslaved. So this evening I keep safe at home.
Yes, many things are not shareable even with a close one. Best is prayers or journaling 🎉 Same on how we treat / respect others’ privacy, nvr pry. Also, dont anyhow give out gifts, it’s v individual preference so most of it may go to dustbin and not environmental friendly at all.
Not necessarily, lots of people including myself click on a movie to check it out & sometimes read comments without watching or only watching a bit before bailing out. Like this one, it looks life a life time movie so I'm out 😉
They should call the police the moment she discovered the camera in the mirror. She was so nice, too nice with somebody she didn’t know. Well, it’s a movie. Now he feels the same way the neighbor did.
They were very naive from the start...Too polite to just refuse... Letting him inside to install when they were out. Not even check the back of the mirror....and facing toward the bed...I mean cmon???
Totally agree with you I thought the same And never be sorry to go away, pitty is never a good advice, only compassion is good. She was not wise about the neighboor and her husband was unwise for taking a single, young and pretty lady at his office, never temptated the devil
Being Christian or being a good person doesn't have to mean being naive or stupid. As long as we live in this world where evil exists as much as angels, we have to be careful. And allowing another man to a bathtub to talk about faith or religion is the dumbest idea. Stirred by manipulative accusation, demand, etc. to be kind is unrealistic and unreal.
Please don’t give away anything about any of these films that people have not had time enough to see yet.? Very much appreciated!!❤ Thanks , cuz I always read both the comments and when it was posted + the amount of viewers who watched it ( although I don’t go by this as a rule), but usually the mathematics work out so I don’t waste my time with a lot of crap on this platform. ✌🏻 Greetings from Boston Massachusetts Amerikkka quite obvious by this point!
Yeah, they are the abused and neglected children that no one had ever cared about. Abuse from a younger age can turn people into psychos. Like in this case, the “creep” is a child who was abused at 6 years old and then picket at in highschool. Is sad…that s why we need to focus on mental health more.
*I was hesitant to watch this movie...I'm just not a religious person, but I am very spiritual and have* *a deep belief in God. I don't believe in organized religion. That said, this is a great movie! The* *acting was superb with everyone owning their parts. Excellent editing and storyline. Thank you!* 💖
I am happy you have a belief in God, but we are called to have a relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ. Jesus even said that "the demons believe and tremble" so we need to do more than just believe or know. We are to believe and follow Jesus. We need to know what His Word says and live it out. Gathering with other believers under elders and deacons is Biblical - that is a church structure. We would have to ignore a lot of the New Testament to come to the conclusion that we can do the Christian life on our own. Even in the old testament, the whole congregation gathered together to hear the Word and the law, and they had local gatherings in which to worship and learn the law, again under the authority of the temple priests. So ask God to show you this as you read the Word for yourself and ask Him to show you where to find the right church. If you Google "verses about church structure" you will get a whole list of passages to study. And remember, the closer we see the day of the return of Jesus drawing near, the more we are to gather with the saints, read the Word, pray. We need to be discipled and we need to be discipling others. Praying that you will find the right one.
The fact is, she's totally representative of a LOT of religious women I've had the sad opportunity to meet!..🙄😒 They're bossy, entitled, & the ones w preachers for husbands, re downright unbearable!..ugh! ..🙄😒
this is exactly what most of the churches look like who don't allow God to call them and qualify them to the ministry. Just because you wrote a book doesn't mean you're supposed to be a pastor. This is definitely not what should be happening and yet, it's so prevalent in our society today with social media platforms and many of them are not actually living for God and shouldn't be leading.
Because I lived in diff countries, occidental ones... I can say that its mostly American. I went to so many churches and its young pastors, people wear all fancy like they go to a special place to show off and talk is almost like screaming in the micro Perso I did not like it None of them have studied theology and all of them except 2 churches I was invited to said that "ppl with big studios blablabla, they arr no better" I was very surprised why pastors judge those who actually STUDIED christianity to be closer to God, its crazy to me
There's always at least three angles to what's happening in a relationship: Viewed from one's own perspective, that of the other party, but most importantly God's take. He is the one Who discerns our hearts.
She should have listened to the husband . She had no business over there. The muslims believe that a man should never cross the threshold unless the husband is present. Excellent advice!
@@StacieJoyner I am not a Muslim, but when I was a young girl I was taught that I should never let a man into my room when I was alone, nor go into his room. It is true that by following this rule you avoid a lot of problems. Now the movie is based upon a very peculiar culture : in certain Protestant churches, a pastor's wife is supposed to support her husband's work by visiting people, including aging, physically challenged and sick people. There are no specific instructions concerning mentally disturbed people, but I asked myself this question many times. In my activity as a deacon I made it a rule, I don't visit lonely men and I don't let them into my apartment.
This was a good thriller really enjoyed this movie 🎉 the neighbour was obsessed with pastors wife he played part of been unhinged very well great acting all round 👏definitely was one to watch 👌🙌❤️
I saw this movie a while ago and I really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing. It's crazy how life has It's twists. Advice... sometimes keep away from your neighbour .

I liked it, award winning or not, God was mentioned while the characters struggled with complex human issues while they lived their every day life trying to obey God. 😇🙏😰😮
This was one of the more challenging Christian movies I've seen in awhile; it really made me wonder how I would respond. I also liked that they didn't tie up the ending with a nice, neat bow. The guy who played the neighbor deserved an award because he was creepy and sympathetic at the same time.
They should have a privacy fence all the way around the property that way that guy couldn't get on their property. That neighbor is a good actor because he has some people upset with him. I know he ruffled my feathers. I'm halfway through the movie but I don't know if I can finish it.
Hey! They wouldn't have needed a fence, if they'd have minded their own business in the 1st place!...I think.it was hoot, when he climbed in the hot tub!..😆
@@KrisCorby-iv8dg That's true. When I moved into my neighborhood, my neighbors came and welcomed me. The neighbor next door brought homemade jelly, the neighbor across the street brought tamales and the other neighbor next to me brought homemade jam. And one last neighbor down the street just came to welcome me to the neighborhood. Good times.
People with spiritual egos think they can change the world, but they can't change shit! They were ignorant and utterly blind. A wise person realizes that change must take place within oneself.
I always wonder about actors who are really ugly/weird/obese etc what do they think when they get the call hiring them for a role. Reading the character and script and realising they've been picked to play a pdf file or fugly fatty. 😂
Also do a movie on demonic spirits of Envy, Jealousy, Anger Manipulation, Lying, Suspicions, Bitterness, Fear, Hopelessness, Rejection, Sabotage, Murder, Lack of Discernment. It was all in this movie and churches don't (won't) teach about them.
This was an interesting movie that weighed Christian kindness against healthy caution. The wife showed true Christian neighborliness; the pastor was neighborly but was more street smart. She may have thought the guy was "different" but clearly didn't know he was crazy/dangerous until he started getting a fixation on her. I think her invitation to use their hot tub was a general one; she clearly didn't intend for him to get in right then with her. Notice, she started to get out of the tub but didn't want to appear rude. Personally, I wouldn't have made the invite at all 'cause the guy looked kind of creepy. The neighbor was manipulating the wife by talking about how Christians can be judgmental and unaccepting and making her feel that he had some interest in her faith. He played the pastor for awhile by attending a church service. And then he started playing them against each other. I just realized it was the neighbor who was sending flowers to the church secretary. Sometimes people do respond wrongly to innocent Christian outreach or have sinister motives. Jesus did tell his followers to be "wise as serpents and innocent as doves." (Matt. 10:16).
Nice video but do a video on those God called out on his own that CHOSE to obey God without the influence of the church. I and many others that you are unaware of have studied the Word of God on our own in our homes for hours. Most "church goers" hate talking to us and reject us because we know the word of God taught to us by the Holy Spirit.
Amen...I can testify to this word here but we are blessed and highly favoured by the most high..No weapons formed against,shall prosper and every teeth and tongue that rise agaisnst us shall be condemned in the name Abba Father who sitteth in Mount Zion.
No one is better than the other Each person that come to God ans accept Jesus has a unique story to tell Some study theology others was not given the chance and go through books and churches, others had experiences that lead them to believe Everyone is special and precious to God no matter the way and I do not believe people dont like you or reject you on purpose if christians, you may have cross some fake ones or maybe also (?) you came yourself with these ideas of rejections ?
@@sg-vp2qgShe did encourage him. She made an offer & he took her up on it! *"You're welcome anytime!"* starts from now. State clear boundaries & enforce them. She did not.
The flurry of annoying stupid ads you have to withstand through this good film almost made me chuck my laptop out the window! And to add to the confusion, the actor playing pastor Zack is the spitting image of a friend I had a long time ago in boarding school!...
** Spoilers ** Did anyone notice that this is a movie about a Pastor, but we NEVER hear a single word from him at the pulpit? This was intentional. I wanted to create a story where the Pastor's message was communicated by his deeds, rather than his words because people can say anything, but their deeds truly reveal their heart and intentions. Neighbor sums it up at 01:05:12. "You can learn an awful lot about someone by watching them when they don't know it." Also, this film is filled with subtextual imagery if you look closely. A few examples... 1. In the opening sequence, while the family is driving to their new home, we see Pastor Zack in his rear view mirror. He feels on top of the world, like he's living the perfect life, but this is foreshadowing that his neighbor isn't the only one with a "mirror" (secrets). 2. When Zack and Amber discuss getting him into the church, a ceramic mask can be seen in the background of their bedroom. At the end, when he's packing up, he drops a box & this mask is broken. This symbolizes how he had been living his life behind a mask of perfection, and when his life was shattered, so was his mask, forcing him to see himself for what he truly was, and begin the journey of genuinely becoming the person that he had always pretended to be. God is a God of second chances, and this traumatic event has initiated Zack's second chance at dropping the act, and living a genuine and honest life. 3. When Zach makes his first appearance at church, and waves to the congregation, the front of his shirt is neatly pressed and presentable. But the back of his shirt is full of wrinkles. This is because he has worked hard to impress people & sell himself as the perfect Pastor, but behind his back, what he doesn't allow people to see is that he's really a mess. 4. The Neighbor's last childhood memory of being happy was when he was playing with toy cars. If you look closely throughout the movie, there are toy cars in the background of many of his scenes. He even steals the toy car from the two boys in church. There are many others which I won't list because it's more fun to discover them yourself. Thanks again for all of the wonderful comments. This movie was a labor of love, and took several years to get made. Your conversations here a lot of fun to read. Also, one more thing... Dave Payton, who plays the Neighbor, showed up on set in character, and never broke once throughout the production. Halfway through the shoot, my wife and I began to worry that he might really be crazy. Actress Jessica Koloian (Amber) was legitimately terrified of him throughout the production. In the scene where she approaches the door with the knife shaking behind her back, I kept telling her to tone down the shaking, but she couldn't because she was so genuinely scared. Then, at the world premiere in Orlando, Dave shook Jessica's hand, and introduced himself by saying, "Hi, I'm Dave. We haven't met." - George Writer/Director/Producer, THY NEIGHBOR
I appreciate a good thriller but anything that hinges on religion creeps me out. Your imagery is on another level. Kudos. Ps: I am going to look for a good feel movie to get the bad taste out of my mouth
LOL! What sort of redeeming feature could it possibly have? No real plot. Just shoving religion down our throats. Never thought I'd see lower production value than even a Lifetime movie.
She is not street smart but sweet to a fault. That is not a crime or deserving put down. Just built different and not wicked minded. She is a vulnerable person yes, but that is not something all see in themselves. Judge our own behaviour and protect the less wise is key. Not judging the less street smart. My sister is like that in alot of things.Not street smart. Sad the world has us all saying negatives when we ALL are prone to messing up. All of us. 🤷🏻♀️🇨🇦
I'm still watching movie. As a women who was sexually attacked by 2 friends this women is way to trusting. She should have been obedient to her husband. Can't wait to watch the rest of movie. ❤
I don't think he deserved to go back to preaching. He never walked his talk to begin with, he was just fake like the majority of judgmental preachers are.

good grief yes! too nicey nice and overlooking how strange the neighbor is. Smh
@@Gabrielle-Z Amen!! I totally agree 👍. I believe we should choose our friends. Don't let them choose us. God chose us!! Amen? What a friend I have in Jesus 💗🙏😇🤗
Halfway through the movie and I'm hooked. The actor portraying the pastor perfectly embodies the ego-fueled, jealous dude-bro. The neighbor is a perfectly creepy antagonist and the wife is a great doe-eyed oblivious people pleaser.
Idk the whole film kinda shallow to me. I've seen psychopathic and sex offender of priests, but no way they could be so prone to outbursts like that and not in public. And the wife is kinda super stupid, but I guess that summed up most true believers, eh?
And the way that nuthead neighbor held the knife in the wrong direction towards the end of the film lmao.
Thanks for this comment because I was skeptical about this movie but since said you were hooked I am definitely going to watch it. I will be back to comment. ☮️💟
The wife was superficial, even though the husband told her not to socialize with a dude they didn’t know anything about, had a very shady behavior and she still she continued to welcome the dude. She needed discernment, connected with the sociopath way more than the husband.
How stupid can a wife be?? Lord above she’s the stupidest 😂
And the movie is horrible 🙄
Developing ANY relationship with neighbors, in the long run.....is always a recipe for great trouble down the road. Maintain your privacy and make others respect your boundaries and limits . This is an indisputable truth and reality.
I strongly oppose the idea of introducing your yourself neighbors or known them. I have a house and they have house .what else ?
My parents instilled this belief in us from a very young age. I still believe it. Just a quick hello or a brief chat about the weather is enough for me. Though if it sounds like someone is getting hurt, is yelling very loudly, or is smashing things up, I will anonymously call the cops.
especially a lunatic like the mad man , actually his wife caused all of the mayhem , naive and not to bright
Never say 'always' !
I live in the Philippines and everyone is everyone's neighbor
The nosiest ppl on the planet 😂
People are a reflection of our inner self. That man showed them some things about themselves. Then at the end a different stranger shows him something else about himself. Full circle. Good movie!
Thanks 🇮🇳
That's deep, thanks!
👀 OH, WOW! Great lesson to be learned, never let your guard down by trusting a stranger! Even if it’s a neighbor, as a woman point of view most men are a step ahead to see if you’re willing! Sin or not, evil never sleeps! AMEN
Best not to start with a soak in a hot tub too I'm thinkin.' Maybe it's just me. Lol
Women can also be out on the prowl on street corners, the workplace or out to see who they can lure into their homes, and do not make the mistake to think older women are all kindhearted and sincere.
@maricamaas2326. I totally agree. Women aren't always the victim and men are still judged unfairly. We will never know how many men suffer from DV while cops laugh at them when they try to report it. True story.
Men and women working together can achieve results and it all starts with children. Teaching them how to handle the bad stuff without violence is the key to ending DV or reducing the numbers. If their mum and dad fight it becomes learned behaviour and they go on to perpetuate it. It's all they know.
I've put this to womens groups and they are so embittered they treat me like the enemy, not as a fellow DV survivor wanting to seek ways to create change.
I would appreciate your thoughts on this if you have a spare moment.
Well said❤
Yh and the 2nd biggest one is running for US president. Mr T probably has 666 under that blonde artificial hair
The neighbor showed all signs from the beginning. The wife wanted to help him become saved that she ignored the signs of something being deeply wrong with him. They never even ask for his name. His childhood trauma and him not getting therapy and help for it eventually led to his demise. The pastor only look at him as another soul to win, but at least he saw the red flags and tried to avoid anything bad from happening. This was a good movie.
Agreed I would of read that like a book to avoid
The poor man had severe Schizophrenia. So sad
@@IwasBlueb4 Schizophrenia doesn't cause people to be mean and evil. His was that from the beginning, My partner's brother is Schizophrenia and he is as kind as can be and has always been that way. He certainly didn't bother anyone and cause harm to people.
I believe in Jesus but I don't get along with most Christians. Many of them are not genuinely interested in you. They fake it because they want you to believe they're good people...
true
Very well done movie, the guy that played the neighbor played his part very well, loved the Christian theme the movie had! Injoyed it very much, excellent movie 😊❤
Not so! Both pastor and wife very insecure without the neighbor dude.
Little corny at first, but it really has an awesome message. I remember years ago walking out of a movie and feeling touched or moved. This was just like that! Keep watching, it has a wonderful message ❤️🙏🏻
This was a Wonderful movie about faith, testings, forgiveness, love, purpose, fighting to stay in the Good Fight, and overcoming your past.
Yes! Also was a good illustration of how harbouring anger at someone is as if killing them. One should be careful to not even come close to a door that could lead one into temptation. Be vigilant - on guard: The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy...
Thank you!
I like how this points out through Each Character the Shallowness, Hypocrisy and Narcissism that Embodies Most Christians today. Poignantly Pointing out Exactly WHY: Bad things happen to Good People.
Demon
Most christians do not act like these characters. Remember it's just a movie
@@maxinehoser9619 As I Pointed Out...
As a pastor or wife of a pastor,when you see a troubled soul,you should be able to identity and also set your boundaries.The couple are two young ,immature and inexperienced people threading very dangerous part.
Yas, they actin' a little fast and loose, huh?! Crazy! You have a hot tub too? 😮
The pastors wife is too naive in the church
I’m glad you said that! I was kinda like really? A pastors wife act like that without considering the safety of her family. Letting male stranger/neighbor to your home is a No No to me.
Give me a lesson.
I need to say that in the US often so many people call themselves pastors, who have yes followed christian classes/groups/little studies but rare are those who actually have studied theologia and many are very young.
It can be very challenging for churches and wisdom would be to have brothers/elders in Christ to help lead the church.
Many because if their young age lack of many things.
Sometimes we have to go through hard long lessons to finally understand what God is trying to tell us. It’s amazing how long it takes sometimes but better late than never.🙏❤️🕊
It is not because we have to it is because we mistake and make bad choices
Those are only results of what we chose but its not God that make us go through them, God is good, He aint here to punish, blame and hurt us
This movie is perfect. The ending is just how it's supposed to be, to hopefully pass on its point in how God let us go through what may be the end for us but really it's our recognition of our true strength that he placed in all of our hearts. Thank you God.
God is the best ,I will always advocate for christ
She should have listened to her husband and where is her son. That neighbor is out of control with a vengeance. Being a pastor and a Christian is a hard job. The brother gave him a positive message it was much needed.
I do t think it's real. But I could be wrong. Lol
This woman would ignore an entire parade of red flags.
Yeah this bitch was stupid. I'm single now but, my next relationship, she better be aware of this type of shit fr. She was pissing me off 😂😂
The first one was marrying the narcissist pastor!😂
😂😂😂😂😂
The friend who is counciling the wife is “spot on” in the advice that she is rendering to the wife!❤ I’m not married, nor, did I ever have a family, but, I understand a lot about spirituality.
no you dont. ask anybody.
Every single character in this movie is raggedy and trifling - that's what makes it so real and relatable. Excellent work
That woman made me angry throughout this movie. He could have lost his son and husband because she failed to listen to her husband. What's the need of marriage if we can't rely and respect eachother's intuition? And who let's a stranger into her home while she's out and accept a mirror of all things into her bedroom? She's too trusting and I believe they are people like her in real life.
That's the story of the movie, crazy
No one can make anyone angry, we make ourselves angry.
@@judy2090 lol get real.
She clearly does not listen to anything her husband warns her about. Just stupid thats what it is.
@@judy2090Amen THATS so True, we choose to get angry in this crazy world today! Everything is a choice & I choose to stay Happy & at Peace with my Jesus 🤗✝️💞
Wow--a Christian thriller! Loved it! What I got is that you need to pray to the Holy Spirit before you go evangelizing to people. Just like you ask someone before you can pray for them, you need to do the same in evangelizing--otherwise you risk opening yourself up to demons. Also, when doing door-to-door ministry, if you know it's a single man and he's not elderly, it's a good idea to bring your spouse, or at least another adult, NOT you and your young child. Thanks for uploading!😊😊😊
What absolute rubbish, demons do not exist, stop with the BS., keep your super-natural, make believe to yourself! Stop spreading mindless drivel!
Yea, pray and ask some spirit protection to The lord b4 you go to preach.... So that you can control you self being mad easily... But sometimes, being angry is not bad too, especially when you're right but no one believes you.. remember, Jesus was mad too when he found out that people make his church like a market place before...
People need to be careful. You can not trust everyone. The way that he only wants to talk to her and for her to be the only one to come every Thursday with cookies is strange. People keep your eyes open, ears open, hands open and mouth shut so you can receive the message from God.
I stopped evangelizing long long long ago it brought me a lot of grief harm, and of course don't ever do it in My own strength until God willing says more with somebody other than that no way NO way! And it's only a movie it's a little bit comical, I don't think pastors that are driven by the holy Spirit would even hire a female assistant in the first place neither
You were not kidding it sure does open the door, I learned the hard way🙏😱
Being a pastor doesn't mean you have to be a saint. We are still humans , but that doesn't mean you had to bathe with male strangers. Entertain him even if he's talking about off limits . We have to be careful. That is why God said choose a friends. Wisely, God bless us all❤
yes always be careful of people who say " God Says" loool that creeps me out lol

I enjoyed the movie I must say, when your husband tell you stay away please listen to what he says. Sometimes one can see something we can't see.I knew from the start, that neighbor wanted to intervene it was plain to see. Yes he wanted more than cookies that's for sure, he truly wanted more.Well again, great movie, keep them coming I'll be there to watch that's for sure, I'll give it 5 stars.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What else could he be wanted,
Water?
A spade?
Wire.?

Or bible??
Liked the story.

It is called thy neighbor LOL
Where is their son? Is he a part-time child in this movie?

At the opening
Very wholesome movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Perfectly depicts our modern day Christian church family well. Thanks for the upload.
God will not stop bad ppl into our lives but will give us the wisdom, the strength and discernment to walk through the fire, storm
My ex husband used to say he married me because i was beautiful like the pastor said to the neighbour,you have no idea how much i hated him saying that as looks fade,i wanted him to marry me because he loved me not because of what i looked like,its not a compliment.
But you still married him
@@cy4330 Yes that's because he said it after he married me not before,that's why I used the word married and not marry.
@@cy4330yes he mult have married u because u are beautiful but it is ur job to make him see the real ur not just ur beauty
Every male married a woman because of the physical. If a male tells his wife any different, he's lying. Where did you get the idea that males care about what's beyond their wife's good looks?
@@heyokakoyeh Men care. You sound ridiculous. Yes, looks are the first thing that they notice...but no man with half a brain is going to marry a woman just for her looks. If what you are saying is true then no wonder society is doomed. 😂

Very nice movie.
Every blessing!!!
Am a Christian and I don't force people into my life and I will never let anyone in my house in my absence
Good actors good plot and a good ending. Worth a watch
But that convo in the workplace cafeteria would never happen
"LOVE Thy NEIGHBOR.... Yet, NOT At The EXPENSE Of SEPARATING Your FAITH Apart From COMMON SENSE...."
Great Movie!👍✌️
That woman is the worst character in this movie. She's super annoying. Inviting an unknow neighbour inside her Bathtub? What would she do if the table had turned and she met his pastor husband inside tub with a young woman? If you love being angry after watching a movie, you can try this movie.
She didn't invite him to join her into the hot tub. She meant he could use it by himself another day, but he took advantage of her offer, he joined her right then, she was surprised but because of her good manners, she didn't say anything about it. Some women would have told him to get out, that she meant by himself on another day.
And obvious from the git go, the neighbour had mental health issues.
@@judy2090 She had no respect for herself, for her husband , for norms of society (including Christian norms). She only thought of being nice, and likeable to someone she knew nothing about.
@@louisalevine3711exactly, not a good look for aChristian married Women 😢
My point exactly 👍 ❤
@@judy2090yes but how do go about inviting total strangers to come use your private pool doesn’t make sense!
Should this movie named “Ignorant Wife” 😢

Yes! 100%
Thatnebernourisweiroprossionwithwife
I dont think she wanted to be appreciated
She just felt left behind
because her husband was not leading her great
He should not have pick that secretary #1
Never tempted the devil
And #2 he had anger issues that was not fixed before he marry her
#3 he is the man and men leads their family for the good of the family not for the good of him

The people pleasers. They can heal it with a long therapy.
He does, indeed, deserve an award for his performance.
Yes,he is a good actor
Agreed! I think he won 3 or 4 Best Actor awards. Incredible performance.
He is the only good actor in this... film.
Yea like a Tubi award or porno best character actor award
Brilliant movie and the neighbour played the creep so well. I laughed so hard at some of his come backs. He came across as naive but was sly as a fox.
He was ab excellent actor
I totally agree.
Wat I love about the neighbor is that the were the ones who started all of this he was just giving them wat they ask for
@@SiyabongaNkosi-c2w haha, sometimes it's best to keep to yourself hey.
Not even 5 minutes in and Pastor Zack’s wife wistfully declares “Nothing could go wrong in a place like this”🤣😂🤣😂

Yeah hilarious how she thought crimes couldn't happen to. Them because her husband's a pastor😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
True 😢
To convince herself, so she already feels...
Naive
This is why it's advisable to marry a woman who is intelligent and achievement-oriented, so she can identify a problem before it gets bigger and is not gullible and easily played
Absolutely right!!👍👏
Exactly 💯
I don't think intelligence is as important as being street smart in these types of scenarios.
You mean spiritually mature!
@@SunShineLady-d4r
Wisdom is a desired trait, which (sadly for most of us) comes slowly - over years; this mainly by making mistakes through our own wrong choices and by failing.
The neighbor worked on my nerves and he played a great role
The acting in this movie is like Tubi/porn or both
@@-XxM.DxX- It should have been a comedy movie. I was in stitches. 🤣🤣🤣
It is possible to be loving while being DISCERNING and ASSERTIVE.. None of these traits are mutually exclusive.
My take on this movie. Good is always in a struggle against evil, light against darkness. God gave the neighbor a last chance to change, he sent a Pastor Zack to live near him. The pastor and his wife tried their best to change the neighbor. But he chose to remain in his evil ways, trying to get the better of them through his devious means. God prevented the family from being seriously harmed, but in the process Pastor Zack lost his calling due to his strong guilt. He forgot that God is a forgiving God. But God sent a co worker to remind the ex pastor about Gods' nature to forgiving (story of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11 - 32: ). Very Good Movie.
The guy who plays the creepy neighbor is a very good actor. He’s believable.
❤
Hoping for a good movie Ive been so stressed about my kitty but tonight I can say I see improvement. Tjx to those of u who have written to tell me they have prayed for her. All the love
Its good movie,maybe you need watching Crazy love by my doctor or Double Mommy,lets see mine
🙏
God will continue to heal her!! 🙏😻
U gotta be fkn kidding me right? Ur kitty? I just CAN'T! Y'all are so creepy,I need the aliens to take me back home asap! 🤦🏼♀️
@@naturalbeauty4734there's no God! U ppl are so brainwashed! Worse than that wife!🙄
I wouldn’t want a wife like Amber and I wouldn’t let strangers in my hot tub, my home and I wouldn’t accept any gifts from strangers (or so called “neighbors”).
yea that hot tub crap was really over the top ,,,she should threw that wacko out immediately , that guy was serious maniac material
Yesterday, I met an old lady who wanted to give job as a cleaner.I told her I wasn't interested, and that I was a seamstress. She then offered to give me some fabrics . What a gift! I accepted and agreed to go to her house. When she said that I must come in the evening and by myself I got scared. I don't know if I watch too many crime documentary. I just thought of all those people who get kidnapped and are enslaved. So this evening I keep safe at home.
I think she needs neighbor belive GOD . Christian think everyone in this world belive God and after die go to heaven 😊
Yes, many things are not shareable even with a close one. Best is prayers or journaling 🎉
Same on how we treat / respect others’ privacy, nvr pry.
Also, dont anyhow give out gifts, it’s v individual preference so most of it may go to dustbin and not environmental friendly at all.
Yes you would! Everybody knows Daisy is eazy! 😂
Damn...they moved everything in & decorated the new house in like 1 hour?! Lifetime movie-ish but me & my cat watched & think it's worth it
The film was uploaded one month ago and it has garnered more than 1.4M views. Wow, it must be very good.
Not necessarily, lots of people including myself click on a movie to check it out & sometimes read comments without watching or only watching a bit before bailing out. Like this one, it looks life a life time movie so I'm out 😉
@@erinnfitzgerald6257Yep I agree with everything you said
It's crap
I have never seen worst wife in any movie, it is so mind annoying charrecter

I wish people would give a simple critique. Like 3 out of 10 or 8 out of 10 so other people can quickly know if it's worth it or not.
They should call the police the moment she discovered the camera in the mirror. She was so nice, too nice with somebody she didn’t know. Well, it’s a movie. Now he feels the same way the neighbor did.
They were very naive from the start...Too polite to just refuse... Letting him inside to install when they were out. Not even check the back of the mirror....and facing toward the bed...I mean cmon???
Totally agree with you
I thought the same
And never be sorry to go away, pitty is never a good advice, only compassion is good. She was not wise about the neighboor and her husband was unwise for taking a single, young and pretty lady at his office, never temptated the devil
@@pjamajones8304 fr 😂 I would never have let him in nor take the gift
She was stupid not naive!
@@nouriaasrorova8986totally stupid
Lots of suspense in this movie. Was glued to every minute of this movie.
Good movie, good acting and an amazing message 🙏
Being Christian or being a good person doesn't have to mean being naive or stupid. As long as we live in this world where evil exists as much as angels, we have to be careful. And allowing another man to a bathtub to talk about faith or religion is the dumbest idea. Stirred by manipulative accusation, demand, etc. to be kind is unrealistic and unreal.
Well said.
Fantastic this kept me on my toes brilliant film thanks to all that made it and all the people in it thank you ❤❤❤❤
This is worth the watch. A good movie thats moves along and hold your attention.
Dave Payton plays the creep well! For me the main reason to watch the movie.
Did anyone else Laugh @ the neighbor's acting like I did? I thought he was quite comical for playing a weirdo. He nailed the role. Good Movie 👌
Yes, yes, YES!!! I laughed the whole time...What a joker! Asking the husband to ask the wife to make cookies for him once a week..🤣🤣🤣
😂 he did! I wonder if his voice is really that creepy in real life? 🤔😩🤦🏼♀️

The neighbor gave me the creeps! They're actually people like this roaming the earth. YIKES!
Yeah .... I'm one of them.
Yeah, they are the abused and neglected children that no one had ever cared about. Abuse from a younger age can turn people into psychos. Like in this case, the “creep” is a child who was abused at 6 years old and then picket at in highschool. Is sad…that s why we need to focus on mental health more.
There's one running for President as we speak.
I AGREE WITH YOU@@no-nc9uc
@maxwelldownham235 yup 😢
*I was hesitant to watch this movie...I'm just not a religious person, but I am very spiritual and have*
*a deep belief in God. I don't believe in organized religion. That said, this is a great movie! The*
*acting was superb with everyone owning their parts. Excellent editing and storyline. Thank you!* 💖
I am happy you have a belief in God, but we are called to have a relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ. Jesus even said that "the demons believe and tremble" so we need to do more than just believe or know. We are to believe and follow Jesus. We need to know what His Word says and live it out.
Gathering with other believers under elders and deacons is Biblical - that is a church structure. We would have to ignore a lot of the New Testament to come to the conclusion that we can do the Christian life on our own. Even in the old testament, the whole congregation gathered together to hear the Word and the law, and they had local gatherings in which to worship and learn the law, again under the authority of the temple priests.
So ask God to show you this as you read the Word for yourself and ask Him to show you where to find the right church.
If you Google "verses about church structure" you will get a whole list of passages to study.
And remember, the closer we see the day of the return of Jesus drawing near, the more we are to gather with the saints, read the Word, pray. We need to be discipled and we need to be discipling others. Praying that you will find the right one.
I’m the same. And ditto on the movie.
Exellent performance by Dave Payton

Weirdos are weird for a reason. God shows you them right from the start.
A happy birthday
this is exactly what most of the churches look like who don't allow God to call them and qualify them to the ministry. Just because you wrote a book doesn't mean you're supposed to be a pastor. This is definitely not what should be happening and yet, it's so prevalent in our society today with social media platforms and many of them are not actually living for God and shouldn't be leading.
Because I lived in diff countries, occidental ones... I can say that its mostly American.
I went to so many churches and its young pastors, people wear all fancy like they go to a special place to show off and talk is almost like screaming in the micro
Perso I did not like it
None of them have studied theology and all of them except 2 churches I was invited to said that "ppl with big studios blablabla, they arr no better"
I was very surprised why pastors judge those who actually STUDIED christianity to be closer to God, its crazy to me
There's always at least three angles to what's happening in a relationship: Viewed from one's own perspective, that of the other party, but most importantly God's take. He is the one Who discerns our hearts.
A very good movie, one of those rare movies that make one think and ask oneself the right questions.
She should have listened to the husband . She had no business over there. The muslims believe that a man should never cross the threshold unless the husband is present. Excellent advice!
@@StacieJoyner I am not a Muslim, but when I was a young girl I was taught that I should never let a man into my room when I was alone, nor go into his room. It is true that by following this rule you avoid a lot of problems. Now the movie is based upon a very peculiar culture : in certain Protestant churches, a pastor's wife is supposed to support her husband's work by visiting people, including aging, physically challenged and sick people. There are no specific instructions concerning mentally disturbed people, but I asked myself this question many times. In my activity as a deacon I made it a rule, I don't visit lonely men and I don't let them into my apartment.
"Nothing could go wrong in a place like this"
Talk about obvious writing 😂
Right along with "he's harmless."😂
I guess I don't trust people. I have lived in my apartment for more than a year now and I don't know my next door neighbor
Been in mine for 4 years & don’t know my neighbor either. I’m just fine the way things are❤

They should have a privacy fence all the way around the property that way that guy couldn't get on their property. That neighbor is a good actor because he has some people upset with him. I know he ruffled my feathers. I'm halfway through the movie but I don't know if I can finish it.

Yes, I agree. i almost stopped watching the movie halfway but then my curiosity got the better of me. lol
Thank you for this movie. Very interesting and worth watching.
Also do a movie on demonic spirits of Envy, Jealousy, Anger Manipulation, Lying, Suspicions, Bitterness, Fear, Hopelessness, Rejection, Sabotage, Murder, Lack of Discernment. It was all in this movie and churches don't (won't) teach about them.
You know the uploader just uploads videos and not actually creates them, right?
This was an interesting movie that weighed Christian kindness against healthy caution. The wife showed true Christian neighborliness; the pastor was neighborly but was more street smart. She may have thought the guy was "different" but clearly didn't know he was crazy/dangerous until he started getting a fixation on her. I think her invitation to use their hot tub was a general one; she clearly didn't intend for him to get in right then with her. Notice, she started to get out of the tub but didn't want to appear rude. Personally, I wouldn't have made the invite at all 'cause the guy looked kind of creepy. The neighbor was manipulating the wife by talking about how Christians can be judgmental and unaccepting and making her feel that he had some interest in her faith. He played the pastor for awhile by attending a church service. And then he started playing them against each other. I just realized it was the neighbor who was sending flowers to the church secretary. Sometimes people do respond wrongly to innocent Christian outreach or have sinister motives. Jesus did tell his followers to be "wise as serpents and innocent as doves." (Matt. 10:16).
Nice video but do a video on those God called out on his own that CHOSE to obey God without the influence of the church. I and many others that you are unaware of have studied the Word of God on our own in our homes for hours. Most "church goers" hate talking to us and reject us because we know the word of God taught to us by the Holy Spirit.
Amen...I can testify to this word here but we are blessed and highly favoured by the most high..No weapons formed against,shall prosper and every teeth and tongue that rise agaisnst us shall be condemned in the name Abba Father who sitteth in Mount Zion.
No one is better than the other
Each person that come to God ans accept Jesus has a unique story to tell
Some study theology others was not given the chance and go through books and churches, others had experiences that lead them to believe
Everyone is special and precious to God no matter the way and I do not believe people dont like you or reject you on purpose if christians, you may have cross some fake ones or maybe also (?) you came yourself with these ideas of rejections ?
Teaches us life's lessons, opens our thinking. Movie well directed
The black man at the end made more sense than anyone in the entire movie!!...
Always look at comments,before watching! Actually enjoyed this movie
What wife encourages a new neighbor into a hot tub? Wth?
Exactly!
She didn't encourage him; she was mortified, felt very uncomfortable, and didn't know what to do.
another UNintelligent move
@@sg-vp2qgShe did encourage him. She made an offer & he took her up on it! *"You're welcome anytime!"* starts from now. State clear boundaries & enforce them. She did not.
@roseaduke8835 Even though she encouraged him come in hot tub, if a gentleman wouldn't in, obviously he's not.😂
The flurry of annoying stupid ads you have to withstand through this good film almost made me chuck my laptop out the window! And to add to the confusion, the actor playing pastor Zack is the spitting image of a friend I had a long time ago in boarding school!...
Thanks so much Real Drama - this was such an amazing and uplifting movie!!! Yeah, God sure moves in mysterious ways 🙂❤️⭐
** Spoilers ** Did anyone notice that this is a movie about a Pastor, but we NEVER hear a single word from him at the pulpit? This was intentional. I wanted to create a story where the Pastor's message was communicated by his deeds, rather than his words because people can say anything, but their deeds truly reveal their heart and intentions. Neighbor sums it up at 01:05:12. "You can learn an awful lot about someone by watching them when they don't know it."
Also, this film is filled with subtextual imagery if you look closely. A few examples...
1. In the opening sequence, while the family is driving to their new home, we see Pastor Zack in his rear view mirror. He feels on top of the world, like he's living the perfect life, but this is foreshadowing that his neighbor isn't the only one with a "mirror" (secrets).
2. When Zack and Amber discuss getting him into the church, a ceramic mask can be seen in the background of their bedroom. At the end, when he's packing up, he drops a box & this mask is broken. This symbolizes how he had been living his life behind a mask of perfection, and when his life was shattered, so was his mask, forcing him to see himself for what he truly was, and begin the journey of genuinely becoming the person that he had always pretended to be. God is a God of second chances, and this traumatic event has initiated Zack's second chance at dropping the act, and living a genuine and honest life.
3. When Zach makes his first appearance at church, and waves to the congregation, the front of his shirt is neatly pressed and presentable. But the back of his shirt is full of wrinkles. This is because he has worked hard to impress people & sell himself as the perfect Pastor, but behind his back, what he doesn't allow people to see is that he's really a mess.
4. The Neighbor's last childhood memory of being happy was when he was playing with toy cars. If you look closely throughout the movie, there are toy cars in the background of many of his scenes. He even steals the toy car from the two boys in church.
There are many others which I won't list because it's more fun to discover them yourself. Thanks again for all of the wonderful comments. This movie was a labor of love, and took several years to get made. Your conversations here a lot of fun to read.
Also, one more thing...
Dave Payton, who plays the Neighbor, showed up on set in character, and never broke once throughout the production. Halfway through the shoot, my wife and I began to worry that he might really be crazy. Actress Jessica Koloian (Amber) was legitimately terrified of him throughout the production. In the scene where she approaches the door with the knife shaking behind her back, I kept telling her to tone down the shaking, but she couldn't because she was so genuinely scared. Then, at the world premiere in Orlando, Dave shook Jessica's hand, and introduced himself by saying, "Hi, I'm Dave. We haven't met."

Spoiler alert. But I'll come back to this comment at the end. I love a good thriller
I appreciate a good thriller but anything that hinges on religion creeps me out.
Your imagery is on another level. Kudos.
Ps: I am going to look for a good feel movie to get the bad taste out of my mouth
@@KainyuKaari Haha, I love it, thanks! I hope you find a good feel-good movie.
@@KainyuKaari thanks, I hope you enjoy it.
A movie to die for....worth while watching 😊
LOL! What sort of redeeming feature could it possibly have? No real plot. Just shoving religion down our throats. Never thought I'd see lower production value than even a Lifetime movie.
Wait what? To die for?😮
Literally DIE tho?! 😮 While watching worth? How so?
She is not street smart but sweet to a fault. That is not a crime or deserving put down. Just built different and not wicked minded. She is a vulnerable person yes, but that is not something all see in themselves. Judge our own behaviour and protect the less wise is key. Not judging the less street smart. My sister is like that in alot of things.Not street smart. Sad the world has us all saying negatives when we ALL are prone to messing up. All of us. 🤷🏻♀️🇨🇦
Seen this one a few years back...watching it again.
Worth the watch. 👍
@mickgatz214 : Yeah, nice one bud, really loved this movie. Shame we live in such a broken 💔 world - heartbreaking 😥
Approximately ten minutes are cut.
Thank you!
@@GeorgeAJohnsonyou are the neighbor man .?
@@LuckyJudaz haha, no. I'm the writer/director of the movie.
Very good movie. Thanks
The pastor looks like he’s 17 with a huge ego
Yeah. He looks at least 8 yrs younger than his wife.
I look like I have a big hammer! Ask anybody. Lol. No but seriously...huuuuge! 😂
O femeie moarta de curiozitate.incredibil.Nu toata lumea iubeste pe toata lumea.ea de fapt vrea sa fie prietenoasa❤😢

Thank you so much! That means a lot. :)
I'm still watching movie. As a women who was sexually attacked by 2 friends this women is way to trusting. She should have been obedient to her husband. Can't wait to watch the rest of movie. ❤
Hopefully you are doing well 😢
Really? Bullshit. The fathers brother to my daughter had no right to sexually assault me, REGARDLESS
Sorry you were assaulted
@@NuuneeyCabsiye Thank you 🙏🏼❤️
@@StacieJoyner 🙏🏼❤️ Thank you 😁
Wow!!! There are beautiful lessons in this movie!!!!
Not happy with the ending. He should have been back at preaching again!! Thanks for posting this movie 🍿
😮
He still might. But first, he has been broken so that he can begin the journey of learning to genuinely love people (rather than putting on an act).
I don't think he deserved to go back to preaching. He never walked his talk to begin with, he was just fake like the majority of judgmental preachers are.
@@chicatia88_ God forgives. And I believe if he would have returned to preaching, it would have brought him much closer to Him.
