The Boys Next Door (1985)


PLOT DESCRIPTION: The "boys next door" are Maxwell Caulfield and Charlie Sheen, typical California teens freshly graduated from high school. Daunted by the prospect of the Real World, the boys decide to go on one last fling in LA. But it's not all clean, wholesome fun: in fact, Caulfield and Sheen launch their weekend bash by beating up a gas station attendant, throwing a glass bottle at an old woman and murdering gay-bar patron Paul C. Dancer. Somewhere along the line, Sheen becomes repelled by their violence spree, but Caulfield seems to be sexually aroused by all the misery he's causing. And so it goes, without real rhyme or reason, until the bloody denouement. The Boys Next Door was the first non-documentary project of director Penelope Spheeris, who later helmed Wayne's World, The Little Rascals and The Beverly Hillbillies.
