Home, Not Alone

I never watch Lifetime movies but a rainy Saturday led me to this. With a couple of exceptions (the detective and the daughter), the acting was terrible, especially by the mother. Not only did the writers make her character very dumb, they also stole a line, almost verbatim, from Seinfeld: "You like him, like him?" "What are you, in high school?" If I were Larry David, I would check into that.

There were a few suspenseful moments (knocking sounds in the middle of the night), but once she found furniture moved around in the morning, she still didn't call the authorities?

Bottom line, don't bother to waste your time. Keep channel surfing.

This Lifetime movie was predictable and disappointing. It centers on a mother and daughter who move into a new home and begin to hear lots of noises within its walls and things that move and go bump in the night. Ghosts? So, they ask the previous owner about it. He chalks it up to being in a new house and getting used to it. Trouble is he's still attached to the house and is having a hard time giving it up. This plot is old and overused and there are lots of Lifetime movies with this backstory. I was expecting more here but the wooden acting and plot twist in the final minutes couldn't save this movie. I don't recommend and say Skip it.

I don't really know how to describe this film otger than noisey!

The story line isn't the best but it is watchable. I've seen worse. The one thing I couldn't stand though was all the added extra audio.

Watch and listen to it, every footstep made the same noise no matter the surface, the shoe or the person. Every creaky door was the same creak. It was like for the entire film they had a choice of 10 sound effects and for me it devalued the film.

At the end of the day no matter how good or bad a story is, the music and sounds add to that richness and for me I had to walk away and come back a few times due to how annoying and repetitive the limited sound set was.

I watched this movie purely to kill time in the afternoon. The storyline is very run-of-the-mill. What really put me off is the lack of depth in the characters. They all sound as if reading their lines just for the sake of it. The mother-daughter relationship is way too shallow. And the character of the boyfriend played by the actor is, again, very in-your-face. The plot had some potential, but unfortunately, got ruined by a whole lot of bad acting. Watch this movie only if you're stuck at the airport, or have free time in your hands that you wish to kill. My condolences to the director and all the actors involved.

The title is hilarious. The acting is laughable. Especially the daughter. Her acting is as bad as her annoying character. She sounds like she's reading and remembering her lines, especially when her and Noah were in the pool talking about following ugh I forgot his name. She is really hard to ingest.

This is a lifetime movie so it's nothing to write home about, nor is it an award winner. It's also predictable. Not only the plot but the script. I heard what they were going to say right before they said it.

I'm starting to think Lifetime hires writers, producers, directors etc straight out of school (both high school and secondary). If that's the case, I can appreciate these movies a lot more. Otherwise, my goodness. I'd be so embarrassed to be a seasoned individual whose name is attached to these projects.

All in all, I will continue to watch LMN movies. Ahahahaha all that for me to say this. But it's true. Terrible movies like LMN, Tubi and Netflix originals are my guilty pleasure. Shrugs. Thank you for keeping us entertained no matter what. All press is good press so whether we hate it, like it or love it, we're watching.
