Deadly Yoga Retreat

As with most (all?) of these Lifetime made-for-TV movies, the plot is fairly obvious via the title. And, also as standard, you get a fairly decent if unspectacular 90-minute movie that is strangely addictive and compelling despite all the shortcomings.

This is the yoga retreat from hell, in a jungle setting somewhere meant to be paradise, where women keep going missing, one after the other.

The instructor (Jonathan Bennett, playing the sort of role that is the very opposite of those he plays in Hallmark Christmas movies) is a menace and it's up to the survivors to band together if they are to survive.

The acting outside of Bennett - the best part of this movie, thanks to his sinister appearance - is also pretty good, better than the Lifetime average. Just like the rest of this film.

The writer really missed the mark. They should have made Remy super charming so the girls were falling over him and have best friend be suspicious. It's LMN-101 after all!

The main gal, Isabella is discontent at home but her husband is sweet, caring and in love with her. The movie descriptor says she's in a bad marriage. Lol

Me and wife wife enjoy cheese. You can choke on the excessive cheese with this one! If you like badly scripted, shabbily acted, dismally directed films, then Deadly Yoga Retreat is for you.

Oh, on a side note, the score may be the lowest rent part of this flick.

At this point, I'm just typing to meet character quota. Seriously, as bad as this is, I couldn't stop watching it.

Biggest.doofus.ever. Besides that, Danielle C. Ryan is amazing and there was so much spandex all around that you couldn't turn away!

Not a bad movie- good distraction on a rainy Sunday.

1. Thought Patrick(husband)was her dad,their age/looks did not match up.

2. Jonathan(Instructor)was over the top in a cringy way,feel he needs to stick with his typical storylines.

3. Was a nice location,still overshadowed by a bad & done before plot.

4. Actors chosen,most of their acting & cinematography was ok.

Would I watch it,again? Nope!

My goodness. This was an awful movie I just couldn't turn away. I just kept thinking of a movie just as bad or worse. A Night at the Roxbury. Chris Kattan would've played a better serial killer. All of these women become yoga "professionals" instructed by a ridiculous character? Who blows up in 5 seconds without even digesting the seafood? To sit around and put something together like this by so many people just blows my mind. Richard Simmons playing the yoga instructor and Amy Poehler should've played the leads. Now that would've made sense. The rest was just a complete mess. And yet for some reason i again wasted my time.
