Jûzô Murasaki is a boy miscast in his classroom, being frequently abused, tortured, beaten and humiliated by the bully Tôru Akai and his gang of juvenile punks. After years of repression, rejection and fear without facing Akai, he develops a psychopathic dual personality with a violent alter-ego. While living in the apartment 13 of a tenement building, he becomes unable to control his violent dark personality, who plots an evil revenge.
Based on a manga, The Neighbour No. 13 serves us a mysterious case of underdog turned villain. An interesting story which grabs you right off the bat though it looses some steam and some later scenes starts to drag, even so, it's a story of revenge that you'll want to finish and maybe question who you want to see come out on top. Not too bloody but rather spooky due to the hidden, unreliable and unpredictable dark side of Murasaki.
Genre: Horror/Thriller
