THE GIRL NEXT DOOR ISN'T THERE ANYMORE

HorrorThriller

Having developed an uncontrollable obsession with the beautiful young Rudy (Michelle Tomlinson), crazed serial killer Herman (James DuMont) kidnaps her and locks her in a cage in his basement. The only way for Rudy to survive this nightmare is to outsmart her psychopathic tormentor. But Herman has experience on his side: He's entrapped and tortured other women before, playing sick and twisted mind games with his frightened victims.

VIBE

This is a grim, claustrophobic descent into pure sadism. It feels raw and uncomfortable, focusing on the psychological terror of entrapment and the chilling mind games of a deranged captor. A truly unsettling experience.
