The Neighbors (2012 film)
The Neighbors (Korean: 이웃사람; also known as My Neighbor) is a 2012 South Korean mystery thriller film starring Kim Yunjin in the lead role.[1] In the film, residents of an apartment building suspect that one of their neighbors may be a serial killer responsible for the murder of a residing family's daughter. As the victim's stepmother investigates, the killer begins to target another young girl.[2] Based on Kang Full's eponymous webtoon,[3][4] the film sold over 2.43 million tickets, becoming the highest grossing film among the movie adaptations of Kang Full’s works.[5] PlotWhat would you do if you found out someone living in your building is a serial killer? A man, whose identity is known, kills his own neighbors ― including a middle-school girl ― living in his building, and continues to stay there even after committing the grisly murders. All the neighbors in the film are reluctant to act due to self-interest. One character does not want the property price to fall after a scandal. Another wants to avoid attention from the police, as he has just five months left before his statute of limitations runs out. Some simply do not want to meddle without evidence, clinging to their daily routines. Meanwhile, the criminal continues to kill.[6][7] Cast
