“...Plunges its audience into a violent abyss of extremities so potent that a person fainted during its World Premiere.” - FantAsia film festival program note

Our midnight films traditionally push the envelope, but “Neighborhood Watch” re-sets the bar. The acclaimed (and often controversial) director of music videos for The Residents, Renaldo and the Loaf, and Oingo Boingo, Graeme Whifler brings us his feature debut—the sickest, most disgusting movie that IndieFest has ever presented. So we really hope you enjoy it!

Bob and Wendi Petersen are starting a new life, away from the crime and violence of the big city. What more could a young couple want than a spacious company home on peaceful Wormwood Drive? The community quickly opens its arms to the new arrivals, and Adrien Trumbull, the guy across the street, drops in to welcome them with a box of handmade chocolates and a few kind words of introduction. They gratefully accept his neighborly hospitality, blissfully unaware that behind Adrien's warm grin (and his front door) lurk perversity, madness and miasma. Never take candy from neighbors.
