Homekilling Queen

Intriguing, but stupid. Too many things to complain about, but one is the bad acting (or directing) among the three evil women. The anti climactic ending was a big disappointment.

Terrible movie. Acting is horrendous. Plot is f'n stupid. Can't believe I watched

The storyline on one plays out like a side-plot from a serial soap opera, complete with an aging matriarch character who has her spoon in the stew the whole time ... but it worked better than I expected. Fairly easy watch, would recommend it to fans of the "Lifetime stalker" genre.

Writing Quality: Good and solid with Whitney, a psychotic teen who can't control her impulses and allows her inherited and learned self-entitlement to determine her own fate as well as those who are "less deserving". The acting is well done. Especially engaging is Whitney's home life where we learn that she comes from a long line of mentally disturbed, greedy women.

Scare Factor: Whitney, the MC, is very obsessed about winning at everything. Her mental imbalance shows up in in deranged and cruel ways in her plotting against anyone who gets in her way. Her maniacal laugh will rattle you as much as her self-entitlement that pours from her veins as her insanity drops into full plummet, her selfish motives fully encouraged and pushed by her own mother and grandmother, who are equally disturbed.

Content (sex, language, & violence): There is a sex scene between two adults though no nudity and the scene is cut short and shown at a distance. There is also a quick reveal of a woman in lingerie. A couple instances of bit**. Violence is localized and minimal, with one instance of a character stabbing another with a syringe, a character throwing her head into her fists, and scenes where a character smashes things and throws things in a verbal rage.

Values & Themes: Getting to the truth. Protecting one's child.

As for the like, kajillions of LMN *psycho* movies I've seen, this one pretty much tops my favorites list!

oh how i love to hate a well-played mean girl! of course, the plot line seems completely implausible (although with today's millenial kids, maybe not SOO far fetched?? lol) but it definitely magnifies many subtle little idiosyncrasies from high school social life that will probably always be relevant no matter what generation.

Overall, well acted, good cast, good production quality & script - loved the payoff scene at the end.. this one is on my DVR in my 'bad girls night' watch list, permanently!
