Violet, a beautiful woman, has never forgotten a boy she dated in high school named Garrett, who is now married to Daisy, who also went to the same high school, and they have a daughter named Allison. Violet, who is recently divorced now, tracks the family down and buys the house next door because she is still hung up on Garrett after over 20 years later and wants to be his wife! She plots and schemes to break up Daisy and Garrett's marriage and disrupt their personal and professional lives as well as use Allison to carry out her plans. What she does to all 3 makes for a good Valentine's Lifetime movie and it all almost works when she gets Daisy out of the way and framed for murder! Alissa Filoramo does a really good job as the unhinged homewrecker. A good script and a strong cast make this a watcher! Definitely recommend!!

Lifetime is in it's wheelhouse here, with a thriller about a woman scorned way back in high school who moves in next door to the man she believes was stolen from her way back when...and slowly starts to take her long-planned revenge, which should allow her to get her old flame back.

The gorgeous Alissa Filoramo plays Violet. I haven't seen her in anything before, but she does as good a job as you could reasonably expect from a film like this. Her portrayal of the deranged and disturbed Violet is very believable. She has good 'crazy eyes' and a sinister glower.

It's all highly unlikely but a fun premise nonetheless.

Plenty of cliches, some sketchy acting from the supporting cast...and a whole lot of fun.

This is clearly made for Lifetime, with all the obsession, stalking, drugged drinks and poisoned pies you could hope for. It moves quickly from start to finish and there are lots of great, funny lines.

The cast is excellent, especially Alissa Filoramo as "Violet," whose undying obsession with her high school boyfriend, twenty years after the fact, drives the narrative at a zippy pace. Also, Andrew Ghai, as conman "Oliver," has excellent presence, and switches from bitter ex-con to smooth-talking fraudster in nanoseconds.

Director Doug Campbell, a veteran of these movies, knows all the angles and details and delivers on all points.

Wasn't sure I was going to enjoy it or not, but I quickly got swept into it, sucked into it, and stayed with it until the end. Bravo!
