Careful What You Wish For (2015)



Released on DVD, June 10, 2016, in the US.
Filmed entirely in North Carolina.
The story: Teenage Doug will be spending the next three months in a small town by the water with his parents.
He will also be working at the local pub along with his friend Carson.
Carson tells Doug that he can really find a girlfriend without any problem if he just makes an effort.
Before too long, Doug realizes he has new neighbors, a married, rich couple.
Doug meets his new neighbor Elliot when he arrives home and finds him at his house talking with his parents.
His parents explain how good Doug is with boats and seeing how Elliot has just bought one, he would like Doug to take a look at it.
Doug has also, by the way, noticed Elliot's wife but hasn't actually met her just yet.
The next day, while checking out the boat, Doug notices Elliot's wife Lena once again.
They two don't really meet until Elliot leaves town for work and Lena needs help with a spider in her car...
Later that same night, when Doug gets back from his first night at work, he is greeted by Lena.
She explains that she locked herself out of the house and insists that he help her get back inside, which he does.
Lena quickly seduces naive Doug, explaining that no one can find out about them.
Doug agrees and has no problem secretly seeing Lena when Elliot isn't around.
The more the two see each other, the more Lena tells Doug that Elliot is abusive and that she can't get away so easily. 
One day when the three are together on Elliots' boat, Lena tells Doug she is going to ask for a divorce.
But later on, Doug gets news from Lena that she has accidentally killed Elliot and she needs his help getting out of it...
