As a huge fan of Junji Ito, I take no pleasure in saying there aren’t many great adaptations of this legendary horror mangaka’s work. However, a pixelated side-scrolling tribute of The Woman Next Door (from Mimi’s Tales of Terror), titled NextDoor offers just the right amount of horror you need in a compact setting. The idea of having a neighbor that never makes a sound even when they’re home all day is bizarrely unsettling, especially when you can see that multiple people live there. Paranoia sinks in as you start to believe something nefarious may be going on. Is the person behind the door even human?
