The Killer in My Backyard

The Lifetime Movie Machine churns out another one. Don't the writers get tired of reusing the same formulas all the time? The same plots, over and over again? The same "twists" over and over again? Gaping plot holes you can drive a truck through?

I guess not. How else can they keep producing around two movies a week?

If you've seen any of the previous Lifetime "obsessed tenant" movies, you've already seen this one. Skip it.

The acting is not so bad as a producing and the screen play ...dont waste ur time...the only good thing they did in the movie was the trailer and the rest is history.

The progression throughout the story line was unrealistic. The acting was horrible, especially from the lead male. His line delivery most of the time had no emotion and fell short. The lead female's sister probably was the best actress out of the entire cast. Some scenes were unnecessary and didnt make sense.

....they'd rush round with the sirens blaring.

This was the point at which I couldn't take any more and stopped watching - I was already at the end of my tether for all the reasons listed by other reviewers. From what I'm gathering I made the correct decision.

Apparently I need another 300 odd characters before I can submit, so I may as well continue - the cardboard characters, the unrealistic scenario that the husband would just let the guesthouse out to a stranger on a whim because he seemed OK, without references or even speaking to his wife first, even though it's a jointly owned property - I dread to think how much worse the decision making from the "protagonists" became - it usually ends up with one or both of them going to an isolated place alone to confront the dangerous killer.

Enough characters now. Phew.

Kind of violent LMN entry into the Thursday night lineup - in some parts it was darn right scary!

After watching this, I learned that:

1. You should not buy a house too soon after the previous owner has died (not because a ghost haunting the place).

2. A man who has a good build will ridiculously rip off his athletic tee when he is angered.

3. Kristos Andrews plays the killer/psycho very well.

4. A frying pan can be used as a deadly weapon.

5. Brittany Underwood can really play a TOUGH lady (remembering "Secrets in the Woods).

6/10.
