Early Release - Il prezzo del passato

Interesting premise, good build up, weak end and the villain was not very scary. Characters were one dimension, except for the lead.

Props to Amazon Prime for changing the title to something that doesn't make you roll your eyes when you see the name of what LMN is airing while scrolling through your channel guide.

Empty Cradle Gone In The Night Mother, May I Sleep With Danger?

She Cried No She Fought Alone She Woke Up Victim Of The Night A Friend To Die For If Someone Had Known

Those are the movies I loved as a teenager because the titles reminded me of Christopher Pike & RL Stine books:

Swim Instructor Nightmare?

The Girl In The Basement?

Killer Stepmom?

Deadly Garage Sale?

The Wrong Blind Date?

The Wrong High School Sweetheart?

Deadly Dance Competition?

Seriously? Lifetime seems to have just stopped caring about creating titles that will entice someone to read the descriptions of the plots and watch. If Amazon Prime hadn't changed the title to Early Release I would have just rolled my eyes and chuckled at the original title before continuing scrolling. This is certainly a better movie than what LMN usually makes now. WTF Lifetime? Do you know how many people are missing out on seeing good movies because if the title sounds ridiculous - the movie itself probably is too.

Cheesy and uneven, but 'Mommy's Prison Secret' manages to sufficiently entertain.

It's another one of those American television network films that is held back by the usual age rating etc. stuff. This type of story told with a much darker and menacing tone would've been potentially excellent, instead we get a very watered down version of events.

The casting is good, it's nothing spectacular but Kelli Williams (Taylor), Sarain Boylan (Meghan), Niamh Wilson (Bianca) and Justin Mader (Jeff) all work together pretty well - Boylan probably gives the standout performance.

Happy to say I enjoyed this, the ending is fairly poor but even then it has one or two things in it that I liked. 3*.

The movie was good but, you had know real area's of Springfield, Ma...At least shoot video from the place your movie is based...

This was a better than most Lifetime movie. As with all Lifetime movies, there's a happy ending but, this was more of an "it could happen" story.
