When there's no more room in Hell, the dead will walk the earth — and humanity's ineptitude will rein supreme!
We had the gory delight of checking out the 1989 film The Dead Next Door, written and directed by a then 19-year-old J.R. Bookwalter, at one of the Alamo Drafthouse's Terror Tuesday screenings, which was made all the more entertaining because the filmmaker was in attendance! Essentially a large-scale home movie with really impressive effects and an admirable scope given its budget and the filmmakers age, The Dead Next Door is a horror comedy of errors that relishes in humankind's ineptitude and uses their folly as an excuse to load up the picture with as many creative low-budget effects as possible. It’s got charm — and lots of guts!
