Nightmare Tenant

Nothing exciting. Typical crazed murderous girl getting her revenge. It had it's suspenseful moments and some action, but still ehh. I was somewhat bored. It's not the best Lifetime movie I've seen. Although, I have to give credit to Virginia Tucker. She did a good job of going from charming to evil in an instant. Sort of like Eddie Haskel.

Another classic lifetime stalker movie. If you've seen one, you've seen them all. This one isn't any more or less entertaining than the rest. The acting is solid, and it's entertaining enough.

Yet another Lifetime movie where a young over-helpful woman is given complete access to your home and children and cell phones and laptops - and often husbands - without the least bit of vetting. And when I say "the least bit of vetting" I mean not asked to produce one piece of ID, or jotting down a license plate, collecting a home address, not one question about "this person's" parents...

And can you really obtain treatment at a doctor's office or medical facility or get "approval" to shadow a physician (and have access to medical records) under a fake unverified name?

And would you really task a teenager you barely know the complex task of returning thousands of dollars of merchandise to an online store? And would you not immediately conduct the least due diligence in investigating how that may have happened?

And when the teenager says some squirrely things at the your first sit-down dinner and you are literally ASSAULTED by said teenager by clamping down on your wrist - does that even make you want to ask a few questions.

And when you realize the teenager is perpetrating a lie with a fake identity and you outright confront them on the spot, is there a strict Lifetime movie policy that you MUST take out your cell phone no more than 3 feet away from them and TURN YOUR BACK to them (I GUESS for "privacy" and so they "can't hear" what you're about to say to 911 that will undoubtedly send them to prison)?

And when you take what this teenager has to say at blind face value about your boyfriend OVER the word of the guy you've been dating for heck knows how long...

And when you just accept all these bad things happening - one thing after another - without one ounce of suspicion...

Don't we all expect physicians who went to school at the highly selective "Vanderton" to be very bright people and brighter than the average person?

And you're a doctor... Wouldn't you know that the most basic immediate first aid to a near lethal gunshot wound would be to apply pressure to the wound with more than just smearing the wound with your fingertips...

Well then you may just find this to be one of the more numbingly dumb Lifetime movies - even by Lifetime movie "standards."

AND to say that this review is giving away spoilers would be giving this movie too much credit...

The setup at the start focused too much on the mother and her daughter leaving, and her boyfriend. Just get to the killing already! Ok so it's a Lifetime movie there may not be blood. One thing that bugs me is drinking wine from stemless wine glasses, yep they did that. Oh no it's a hammer, ouch!! This mother is hard to look at with her stroke eyes. Tokens all over the hospital. What doctor wears heels?! This movie is looking bad. Yep, please move in for free I've a good feeling about you. Ok I think that's enough of this movie.

"Nightmare Tenant" a "LMN" film is one that's a thrilling drama of obsession and rage as when one doesn't get what they want they behave badly. Dr. Allen's(Lauralee Bell) only daughter Lacey(Heather Hopkins) gets into an ivy league east coast school based on name and clout and passed over is Nikki(Virginia Tucker) so all of a sudden Lacey leaves the nest of California and flies east. So soon Nikki starts a dangerous cat and mouse game of danger and obsession by befriending Dr. Allen and becoming a guest also Lacey becomes a damsel in distress as she has a scene where she's tied up and gagged. Overall okay suspense TV thriller.
