A Mother's Nightmare

The guy was very stupid I should have not watched this movie

The sequel a fathers nightmare is much better in my opinion. I thought the acting and the story was bad in this film. The characters was all stupid and annoying as hell. Take my advice don't waste your time watching this. Just watch the sequel instead. 2/10

This film really impacted me as a teen having mental health issues but I think it has such a good plot and decent acting to suit. This is relatable and has a scary premise to it that makes it exciting to watch. This is a budget film and suffers somewhat because of it. However it has a good cast, story and is put together decently to be a enjoyable film. I would reccomend this if your not too concerned on quality but I will warn you it does have some triggers of self harm.

I hated Vanessa from opening scene. I honestly dislike the mother too. Chris was just an emotional basket case. He was easily manipulated by the chick. His dad should have played a bigger role. Why didn't mom ask more questions the first night? In a desperate plight to be wanted Chris fell into the spiders web. Acting was okay considering I didn't like most people in the movie..Why didn't mom reach out to foster parents first night. As a parent you need to know who is at your house and who your child is hanging with. I could never stay at someone's house if my parents didn't know their parents .

After the funeral of her boyfriend, sexy 17-year-old Jessica Lowndes (as Vanessa Lynn Redlann) is moved to another foster home. She enrolls in "Fairview Heights High School" and decides to seduce cute track athlete Grant Gustin (as Christopher "Chris" Stewart). Depressed about his parents' separation and recent break-up with his cheerleader girlfriend, Mr. Gustin is an easy conquest. He skips classes and practice to be with Ms. Lowndes. Gustin's mother Annabeth Gish (as Madeleine "Maddie" Stewart) is concerned about her young son's behavior. Investigating the situation, Ms. Gish makes some startling discoveries...

"A Mother's Nightmare" is the first part of a series of "Nightmare" movies from director/cinematographer Vic Sarin and writer Shelley Gillen. The stories are unrelated. This Lifetime TV Movie was "Inspired by True Events," according to the opening. If the character really exists, hopefully someone will see this on television and contact authorities because the ending suggests an additional incident may be imminent. Lowndes and Gustin are old for the roles, but pull them off. Her maturity makes seduction more believable. He has a cool hairstyle and cornered eyebrows. Gish should have been given a stronger confidante or lover.
