幕后制作
以导演艾伦·J·帕库拉的过往成绩来看，本片剧情在逻辑推演上算是比较粗枝大叶，以致未能营造出扣人心弦的惊险气氛，不过凯文·史派西饰演工于心计的坏蛋十分精彩。
Richard and Priscilla Parker's lives take a turn for the better when Eddy and Kay move into the house next door. Eddy's a risk taker and shows his new neighbours how to enjoy life at the expense of a rule or convention or two. What Richard doesn't realise is that Eddy's little games are just a prelude to something that's intended to destroy his neighbours' lives.
