"The Boys Next Door" is a 1985 relatively unknown independent drama/adventure movie, about two young men Bo played by Charlie Sheen and Roy played by Maxwell Caulfield, on the verge of adult life, whose bleak futures project them on a grim and violent adventure, before the mundane reality of working in a dead-end factory becomes as far as they are allowed to live the American dream. Angry, bitter and with no hope for their future, they embark on a frightening and disturbing orgy of sex, drink, violence and murder.

Plot Summary

Roy and Bo leave their small town the weekend after graduation for a short road trip to Los Angeles. Soon, they find themselves lashing out and leaving a trail of bodies behind them. The violence escalates throughout the film.They start by severely beating a gas station attendant after accusing him of short changing them. (They claim to have given him $6 when he clearly shows them the 2 $1 bills he was given.) Then Roy throws an empty beer bottle in the air and it hits an elderly lady in the head, and after they get chastised by a bunch of girls for it, they nearly take one on an unexpected joyride.Many run-ins with others lead to more deaths, including a girl named Angie when she decided she wanted Bo instead of Roy.Eventually they are found and tracked by the FBI.
