Deadly Spa - Weekend da incubo

If you are into lifetime movies then you will enjoy this

This film has great production values and performances. Decent scary moments and twists make the movie worth the watch. It's one of the better Lifetime thrillers on Prime to take your mind off the current Covid-19 troubles of the world. Grab some popcorn or a snack and enjoy.

What a nice departure from some of Life Time's recent movies. 'Deadly Spa' began with suspense and managed to keep that suspense throughout the movie. The main three characters were very believable and the setting was stunning. Loved the fact that we got enough 'interior and exterior' action. There were a couple of editing goofs with day turning to night suddenly and visa versa, but it really didn't harm the production. What's important is the pace, and this movie kept right on trucking with no huge gaps. And there were some surprises for a change. I thought the blond woman was going to kill the lead towards the end, but I got fooled. What a departure from 'Sister Revenge' and 'Mad Teacher' (or whatever it was called a couple of weeks ago.... third rate compared to this production). Serious kudos to the director for grabbing us in and keeping us there the entire movie.

There is something therapeutic about watching a scary film set in a health spa. It was lifetime made although it looked ever so gorgeous. The landscape was just beautiful. The spa was also eye candy. The mother and daughter go on a holiday together at a health spa, but something sinister is going on inside the walls. Check out the amazing scenery and waterfall.

I found this movie suspenseful and enjoyed the plot and the theme, which is a character named Dawn (played excellently by 'Caroline In The City's Amy Pietz) and how she tries to get herself and her daughter Kayla (Tracey Fairaway) to reunite for a weekend getaway at a popular spa resort owned by guru David James (CSI: Miami's Johnny Whitworth) and they have to fight for their lives. It's a run of the mill type movie, but Johnny's character is fantastic. I didn't know he was so versatile that he can play a detective on TV and a mastermind criminal here. Very good! The rest of the movie can be slow, though. It does have a 'David Koresh' feel for it and Whitworth certainly could play him in a movie. It's fun to watch, but in the end, the director yells cut and the actors go back to their real lives which is acting. Sadly, I feel that actress Fairaway should take another line of work. Acting is not her style. Amy, however, this is the only other time I've seen her in a movie, so where has she been all this time?
