One of the worst written hokum ever. And that goes with the acting as well. It seems our leading lady seems to be walking around in a dream even when she's sober. A real wimp of a performance. It was very hard to watch this movie. Very hard. Our evil nurse got away with everything she meant to do and it seems all her victims didn't have a clue. And if they did, they turned their back on her. Please. The husband's drunk scene, a couple of beers?, was a joke. His dopey wife slept through it all. Even when she woke up she was still a zombie. I won't mention names of cast in respect of their careers but I hope to not see their work again. And the writer must have knocked this off on a lazy afternoon. I felt bad for the director and gave it one star for his courage to make sense out of this loser.

Well, this 2019 movie titled "Evil Intent", although I found it with the cover titled "Psycho Nurse", turned out to be exactly as I expected it to be. That being a predictable thriller that follows the how-to-make-a-thriller blueprint by the numbers.

Sure, "Evil Intent" was watchable and entertaining enough for what it was. This wasn't exactly the brightest moment in the history of thrillers, but "Evil Intent" actually turned out to be enjoyable enough for what it was. Sure, this is hardly a movie that you'll watch more than once, as the contents of the storyline just doesn't have enough in it to support multiple viewings.

The storyline in "Evil Intent" was classic script book material. I mean, you knew exactly how the plot would play out and how the movie would end. And surprise, writer Hannah C. Langley didn't veer from that course one bit.

I will say that the acting in the movie was good, despite of the actors and actresses being somewhat restricted and limited in terms of the script and plot. But they definitely put on good performances, which helped carry the movie and making it stay afloat and prevented it from sinking into a grave marked "less than mediocre".

But that was it, wasn't it? "Evil Intent" was just mediocre. I mean, the movie at the hands of director Michael Feifer just failed to throw the audience off of the track. Everything was just so rigidly scripted and predictable.

My rating of "Evil Intent" is a mediocre five out of ten stars. This was by no means among the worst of thrillers that I have sat through, however nor was it among the best either.

Another strong LMN offering. Riveting and thrilling movie. Very creepy nurse. She does a terrific job.

Not the worst I've seen, villian was evil, parents were clueless, blah blah blah. It was your typical Lifetime movie. But did the writer just run out of ideas to end it? No imagination at all. I see the credits roll and realized that was it. Like I said, not the worst I've seen, but the ending completely lacked........ an ending.

Starts off promising with a Hand That Rocks the Cradle thing going on. Nice house and pretty lead actress Lyndon Smith reminds of Lynn Collins when young. It's obvious what she is after as a nurse helping look after a boy with muscular dystrophy. She does the usual get rid of threats and weaken the wife things. Liked the part she pretends to be the wife's support group male friend online. The wife is a bit of a basket case even without her help. But the finale is weak and an anti climax. Sean Faris is a bit wasted as the silly husband.
