The Good Neighbor

The movie, blending Crime, Drama, and Horror, primarily evokes Fear, Anxiety, and a sense of the Disturbing due to its central plot of two friends psychologically tormenting their reclusive neighbor with a fake haunting. As the narrative unfolds and the truth about the neighbor is revealed, strong feelings of Empathy and Sadness emerge, shifting the audience's initial Anger towards the boys for their cruel prank. Surprise and Curiosity are also significant as the film explores the moral ambiguities and twists surrounding the question of "who is truly the good neighbor." The overall emotional landscape is one of suspense, moral discomfort, and eventual pathos.
