Unwanted Guest

The girl who moves in and starts wrecking your family while everyone involved is clueless. The temptation given in to by Daddy. The police {who in most communities can have a presence in a moment or two} who take an eternity to show up to save the day. And yes, the criminal who has to recite a verbal manifesto before killing -- which in Hollywood's view, all of them do, it seems.

Yes, all your favorite parts are here. And less.

Another formulaic "thriller" you've seen a few dozen times before that you could write in your sleep. Which apparently the writers do. Tune in for the latest version next week.

They keep coming from LMN. This one I got impatient for it to end and our young evil one demise. I kept looking at the clock and it seemed time went slower than usual. There was nothing rewarding about this horror. What annoyed me most of all was the family being so stupid as to not realize the girl was just plain evil. The father being the worst of all. An idiot with no sense at all. And the mother was clueless until too late and the girl friend from school who gets sicker throughout the film hasn't a clue. All the time this nut case is taking care of them. I remember this actress from another LMN film called The Boyfriend Killer, where she was just as bad and just a nuts.

Christine (Valentina Novakovic) insists that her friend Amy (Kate Mansi) come home with her during school holidays.

Christine lives with her mom Anna (Beth Littleford) and stepfather (Ted King).

Amy wears large glasses and her hair wrapped in a bun. So we know, especially if we've seen the actress on General Hospital, that with Christine's encouragement, Amy will let her hair down and remove her glasses.

Christine also introduces Amy to her beloved hamster, Mr. Chips. Lifetime aficionados know that little chipsey isn't long for this world.

Christine becomes quite ill - we learn Amy had a hankering for Christine's old boyfriend who was mysteriously killed on campus before the girls left on their holiday.

One day while Amy is helping Anna retrieve a Dutch oven from a high shelf, gee, somehow she falls from the stool and breaks her leg.

Meanwhile Amy usurps Anna by making breakfast and acting domestic, when she isn't slithering around in front of Anna's husband in Victoria's Secret lingerie.

Will anyone ever figure out that this woman is the devil incarnate? Watch and see.

A word about Ted King, who had a dual role on General Hospital. He is a wonderful man, but in this film he seemed very uncomfortable and somewhat rigid. It was hard to tell if he and Anna had good marriage.

Part of his discomfort was Amy's lingerie appearances. I guess the rest was because he had to do a Lifetime movie.

They keep making movies along this same plot line like every year or even two a year. I don't get it. If you want to see a good one see THE CRUSH. Anyhow, daughter brings creepy friend home from school for break and creepy friend proceeds to poison the house and seduce step daddy. It's pretty much par for the course except it didn't quite hit par with me. 3/10.

Just started watching on TV and what could've been good, went down hill fast. The plot was good, but the construction was hopeless. If they'd have worked on putting a 'real to life' spin on it, rather than reading off the back of the cereal packet, it could've been half decent. It didn't even pan out to much. If you choose to watch after this warning, I cannot help you get that wasted time back. The only thing I can add to this without putting in spoilers is, common sense and high end vehicles never let you down.

I don't normally comment of movies. But this was just on TV and just awful!
