It's the gated community of Shady Grove. Lindsay Porter (Julie McNiven) has been divorced for two year and has teenage daughter Jamie. She owns a local gym and Valerie is a new employee who left her abusive ex-husband. Stephen Lane is the new neighbor. Kat Riley is the single real estate agent who sold Stephen the house. Nikki is Jamie's best friend and Janet Chung is Nikki's mother. Barrett is the night watchman. Despite vowing never to marry again, Lindsay starts dating Stephen.
After reading all the bad reviews, I got interested. Apparently, the music and sound design annoyed some people. The sound design is bad at the start. The non-stop music cues get annoying. The story itself intrigued me with a whodunnit which I like. Once the reveal happens, the culprit becomes a ridiculous psycho. The villain turn is so over the top that whatever appeal is lost. Up until that point, I almost forgive the movie for all its flaws.

Good enough film but ridiculous loud background music, so loud at times didn't know what was being said by the actors.

Absolutely ruined by the background music, couldn't hear the actors dialogue at all. Pity, it would have been quite a good film if you could hear it properly.

This lifetime movie is so bad. The plot was so stupid. The characters was annoying and unlikable. The main character was terrible. I was glad when the film was finished.

Just airing in the UK and there's nil to say that hasn't been said about the awful background music and terrible dialogue.
A neighborhood watch scheme attended by women only. Only men around was the post guy, the security guard and the wimpey star actor.
The daughter and her friends look the same age as the mum.
Did no one really play this back and listen to the racket. Conversation between the leads impossible to hear completely.
Hour in the music is that loud I've started to notice other dumb things about the film.
Mum goes mad when the daughter receives a text at 10pm ? She's like 17/18 years old.
Daughter has one friend she never sees or speaks to?
Police guy is dumb and just blurts out information in an open forum.
New man does no work.
Just total dumbness all round.
I'm not sure what the 10 reviewers were watching but it certainly wasn't this movie.

Dialogue drowned out by really obtrusive background music
found the background music really annoying and distracting

This movie was good, and the twist at the end was surprising and unexpected. But my only complaint is the music. It was so loud and overpowering to the point where I couldn't hear what the characters were saying. I thought it was an issue with the tv, but upon seeing other people's reviews here, I realized it was part of the movie. It's so infuriating when movies make the music so loud up to that point, the music should be about 50% of volume at least. Speaking of the other reviews, I noticed that most of them were made way before this movie premiered almost a week ago, then I realized that this movie was made all the way back in 2018, two years ago! Lately I noticed that LMN has been bringing back films that were made at least two or three years ago and calling it a "premire"
and airing every Friday. I don't mind them doing this but they should air an ACTUAL brand new movie made this year once in a while.
Other than those complaints, this movie was nice and enjoyable. 7.5/10

What's up with the sound? Trevor was great, but whomever directed and produced should never do it again.

Yes the sound is abominable like everyone else has said. But - so is the acting, the script (which fortunately you miss a lot of due to the music) the storyline, the set/scenery. There is absolutely nothing redeeming about this film. I only watched to the end as the plumber was fixing the boiler and I needed to be out of his way. Says it all.....

Background noise made this movie almost impossible to follow.

The only thing that kept me guessing throught this film was what the characters were actually saying!? The music and background effects are ridiculously loud to the point that I thought it had to be some mistake that nobody noticed!!!
The only way you're going to be able to follow the plot is with subtitles, but it seems that even whoever was transcribing had the same problem as it just comes up with "Inaudible" in various places!
Shame really, it's not a bad film as far as channel 5 afternoon mystery thrillers go.

Who's in Charge of the sounds and background music? FIRE THEM IMMEDIATELY. There was music on scenes where it shouldn't have been. Like is this a musical or a movie. Hard to follow the movie with all that darn noise. Fix it immediately and please don't do it again.

So many negative reviews for no reason. While this movie will never win any awards, it's a solid watch. The plot is weak and the writing is generic but the actors make the most of what they are given to work with. Keeps you guessing, sometimes in a good way and sometimes in a bad Way.
Movie doesn't drag, has good pacing.
Trevor Donovan is in it.

When this movie gets going, its a corker of a who-done-it. And there's a twist in the tail that I for one, didn't see coming.
