Deadly Garage Sale

This was a real thriller to bring in the New Year! Candace and her mom, Marcia, have a garage sale but are robbed by a thief who ends up dead in their house. Unfortunately, his sister wants to take everything Marcia has away from her including her daughter! Interesting script and good acting made this a definite recommend!!!

Lifetime did a nice job ringing in the New Year here in 22 with a different type of movie with their typical tried and true formula! Just looking at the title and you have to roll your eyes! But, it is a bit different and works into what movies they generally put out on their network. This movie contains some really good acting. Trudee, played by a younger actress named. Juliana Destefano is fabulous! You will not be disappointed by this movie. A couple good twists and a happy ending. All sales final!

Its been a while to see a movie with a different type of story. It seems like its always the same stories told different ways. So if you are looking for a thriller with a fresh and refreshing story line give it a shot.

Trudee (Juliana Destefano) and her brother Pete start stealing from weekend garage sales. Marcia Clattenburg (Aryè Campos) is their next target. Pete sneaks into the house. Marcia catches him and he falls down the stairs to his death. Trudee is furious and befriends Marcia to get her revenge. Marcia's adopted daughter Candice and the HOA disapprove of her constant garage sales, but she needs the money. Out of the blue, rich retired Nick comes into her life and it's too good to be true.

This is a Lifetime thriller and I really like it for the most part. I have two big issues. The cop is too clueless as often is the case in this type of movie. I often find smarter movies have smarter cops. It does lead to the second issue. With a smarter cop, Marcia would call on his help instead of sneaking into the lion's den by herself. Obviously, this movie is manufacturing a high-intensity conclusion. A smarter movie would do it smartly. Otherwise, I really like the premise and these lesser known actors.

Poor acting!!

Why would a woman quit her job and take up hoarding and garage sales, when she can't pay her bills?!?!

No one thought this mother was just a little unbalanced with this behavior?

LNM has never had the best acting. Once in awhile you get a good story line. However, this wasn't the case.

Who writes this stuff and why is there not better acting?
