A Night to Regret

Nothing special about this one. It's not even that creepy of a story given the subject matter. Maybe because the overly loud and overly dramatic score makes it hard to take seriously.

It's not as preachy or as PSA-esque as most of the Lifetime movies dealing with social media, but it's not entertaining either.

Sure, as I sat down to watch the 2018 thriller "A Night to Regret", I must admit that I wasn't really having much of any expectations for it, given it being a Lifetime movie and all. But hey, it was a movie that I hadn't already seen, and since I had the chance to watch it, of course I took the time to sit down and watch it.

Turns out that "A Night to Regret" was actually an enjoyable movie. It definitely was more watchable and entertaining than I had thought it would turn out to be. And it was definitely a movie that provided me with sufficient entertainment.

Indeed, the storyline was fairly generic for a stalker movie such as this. But it still turned out well enough, as the movie was nicely paced and had some nice enough acting performances. And I must admit that the stalker, Jake, definitely had a creepy vibe going on, and it was something that added to the overall feel of the movie.

If you enjoy a straight forward thriller with a stalker theme, then you should give "A Night to Regret" a watch. It was actually surprisingly watchable and sufficiently entertaining. But it is hardly a movie that you will watch more than a single time.

My rating of "A Night to Regret" lands on a six out of ten stars.

One of the warning type LMN movies this thriller has a pretty high body count. A pretty girl makes a mistake doing some web show thing and attracts the attention of a wacko gym trainer who finds out who she is and insinuates herself into her life.

It's a fairly watchable cast of characters. The lead actress Mollee is good and acts scared when necessary, but Ms Moreau who plays the mom is a bit wooden and not anxious enough when required.

Worth one watch

The movie as a complete piece is bad.

The soundtrack is really really the worst part. It's a constant generic soundtrack with only action style from audiojungle and a lot, yes a lot of pumps from some generic thriller audio gallery.

The movie could be a lot better without that soundtrack, looks like was used to fill some gaps.

First, the bad guy is so badly miscast. I doubt he got all his tattoos and suntan while he was in a mental institution crying for mommy being so cold and mean. And with his very hot looks he had to go through all that trouble to get to be with girls for whom he is so out of their league? Right. The poor guy does his best and it's not his fault. But what were they thinking?

Secondly, who was in charge of the music? All that weird chorals made it sound like we were watching a movie about a satanic cult or the antichrist coming to earth!! Again, what were they thinking?

Third, everyone seemed to live in the same two or three blocks in the same city. Even when one of them surfes the web looking for live cams he happens to end up on a page whose owners and live girls are all in the same neighbourhood.

It's a small world.

Clearly they were NOT thinking.
