“The Threat Next Door” (** out of four) was a moody but mild suspense thriller about an overworked single mother (Shiva Negar) who meets a friendly neighbor (Kimberly Sue-Murray) to babysit her daughter (Bianca Sas) but soon starts noticing strange and bizarre occurrences that make her think twice that there might be something more sinister underneath her polite veneer. Well-lensed and atmospherically shot by Stephen Chandler Whitehead but film is a rip-off of “The Hand That Rocks The Cradle” that simply doesn’t rock enough and have sufficient surprises or scares.
