Woman on the Edge

The acting in this was so bad, i turned it off after 10 mins.

...was the commentary done by the woman during commercial breaks. At least Lifetime is acknowledging that these movies aren't to be taken seriously. Most of us already know that, but I do see reviews here that treat these movies as if they are more than simple mindless diversions. They are formulaic, with plot holes you could drive a truck through if you pay too close attention to them.

I have to go now. I need to buy a strobe light so I can get people to do whatever I want!

I will admit that I've been a huge fan of Sarah Butler. So I'm biased. Still, she does a great job playing the damsel in distress here.

However, I can only go as high as 7 on this film. There were at least a couple of unrealistic scenarios (arguably plot holes), and the whole premise of hypnosis being used in the way suggested, brings the film down a couple of nothces.

The plot is way too formulaic. If you haven't figured out how the while thing 30 minutes in, then you haven't watched enough Lifetime movies.

So why do I give it such a high rating? I find Lifetime movies fun to watch and I did enjoy watching this.

The idea that people could be so readily and effectively hypnotised to do such a range of things is just absurd.

Too much to stomach for Lifetime even.

Do not bother.

The title of this Lifetime movie, My Husband's Deadly Past, tells the audience that the husband is the killer but there's a whole lot more to the plot which really keeps you guessing for a while......Sarah Butler does an excellent job portraying the wife who figures out what he's up to and how to stop it all before he kills her, too. Highly recommended and will watch again.
