While October is typically all about horror, it’s actually been an incredible month for intense thrillers, as The Woman in Cabin 10 (October 10) and The Perfect Neighbor (October 17) both hit the Netflix release schedule. The former is fictional, but the latter has attracted attention for walking fans through a real-life crime using a lot of body cam footage. Critics love it, but I was surprised to see the audiences is less enamored.
The Perfect Neighbor had landed a rare accolade on Rotten Tomatoes: for days and days, it had sat at a 100% perfect rating on the review aggregator site, marking it as one of Netflix's best right now. This isn’t the first time a project received this sort of accolade, but it is rare when it happens, as typically there are at least a few negative reviews even on acclaimed projects that knock the score down a peg or two.
