Deadly Illusions

The movie is seemed to be quite lost about what story it was trying to tell. It could have been a good psychological thriller but it ends up being a sometimes sexy and sometimes meh slasher flick.

The "villain's" goals are unclear and nonsensical. The exposition of what makes the villain the villain is hamfisted and comes out of nowhere. The pieces of the early parts of the movie that is used as "foreshadowing" do not work. And in the end, as always, everything is blamed on a mental illness that the writers (and Hollywood really) don't seem to understand.

I don't recommend watching this.

Mary Morrison is a bestselling author who writes novels about "passion, sex, lies, betrayal." In order to focus on writing her next novel, Mary Morrison hires a young, hot nanny to look after her children - and maybe her husband too. It's pretty obvious where this is going. Anna Elizabeth James' 'Deadly Illussions' is a silly, paint-by-numbers, third-rate 'Basic Instinct'-y thriller with its thin and definitely confusing plot. Anyone who can sit through this without cringing at least once deserves an honorary Oscar. Stream it!

The only thing this film is good for is slowing the passage of time, perhaps useful if you're on your deathbed. However I feel you'd be begging for death's sweet embrace far before the end credits.

Worth watching solely for the old woman in the library who does the worst keyboard acting I've ever seen in my life.

Absolutely one of the worst films I've ever seen! 1 star feels generous. Made no sense!

I'm so upset that this movie had to be this bad. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't boring but it was almost entertaining to watch how bad its plot and acting were.

I mean, the villain CAME OUT FROM NOWHERE. The story of the mother being a writer is almost useless. There was no correlation between the character and the conflict. The motives and background were definitely not in sync with the plot it meant to give.

The acting was not helping either. When they supposed to be happy they didn't look sincere, when someone supposed to be in shock, they didn't even do what people supposed to do when they're shocked.

I personally don't recommend it but go watch it if your day is so good and you need to balance it out by feeling upset a little bit.
