THE GIRL NEXT DOOR ISN'T THERE ANYMORE

200785 min3.7 / 10

A claustrophobic psychological horror about captivity and survival, built on sustained dread and the predator-prey dynamic between captor and captive.

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.
