Spoiler alert pure and utter rubbish just scroll on by

Acting is terrible. The mother is the kind of mother that most teenagers would tell to Foxtrot Oscar. From the first 5 minutes you know where it's going and like and behold you'd be correct. I wonder why the police were in low attendance especially with a neurotic mother. Maybe because it's too much like other films so nothing original. I wish Netflix would say 'made for TV movie' in their synopsis. This way it would indicate whether it's worth wasting an hour and 14 minutes of your life.

I thought at first that this is about putting somebody on fire. But looks like this is some psychological manipulation phenomena, which i learned during watching. This movie is similar to many lifetime channel movies all which deal with deceiving, lies, manipulations, crimes. It is also similar to movies: Fractured (2019), Unsane (2018), Unknown (2011). All dealing with difficulties of knowing what is reality what is illusion, or lie or truth. All dealing wiht psychology or psychiatry. This movie is good because it is realistic, meaning this can really happen to somebody, and as it was in the movie, can leave consequences such as deaths. Lesson is to avoid doing gaslighting and being victim of it. But besides that there is too much talk, meaning drama. Too much skipped parts and lack of police and many things. Too empty. So not high quality movie. Although at least better than some other lifetime movies.

This film never goes up a gear, it has that made for tv feel which it can't shake off. It builds the suspension slowed and then we speed to the conclusion, which is a shame. The acting is average, I would score the film between a 4 and 5 out of 10. IMDB does allow a 4.5 so I have give it a 5. Unless you have nothing else better to do, I would avoid.
