The Boy Next Door with Jennifer Lopez in the lead role will be screened at Empire Deluxe from today, the film’s importer Liberty Cinemas Ltd. said.

The movie is a psychological thriller that explores a forbidden attraction that goes too far. Directed by Rob Cohen (The Fast and the Furious) and written by Barbara Curry, the film also stars Ryan Guzman, John Corbett and Kristin Chenoweth. The Boy Next Door is produced by Jason Blum of Blumhouse Productions, Lopez and Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas of Nuyorican Productions, Benny Medina of The Medina Company and John Jacobs of Smart Entertainment. A newly-divorced woman (Lopez) falls for a younger man who has recently moved in across the street from her but their torrid affair soon takes a dangerous turn. When a handsome, charming teenager named Noah (Ryan Guzman) moves in next door, newly separated high-school teacher Claire Peterson (Jennifer Lopez) encourages his friendship and engages in a little bit of harmless - or so she thinks - flirtation. Although Noah spends much of the time hanging out with Claire’s son, the teen’s attraction to her is palpable. One night, Claire gives in to temptation and lets Noah seduce her - but when she tries to end the relationship, he turns violent.
