Dia das solteiras fatal

Honestly, this movie isn't bad by lifetime movie standards. It does follow the basic lifetime thriller formula: bad guy stalks bland main girl, bland main girl has to prove the bad guy is evil. But it also features some unique elements that make it stand out. The villain is more complex than usual and the movie even has plot twists. So yeah, if you're in the mood for a lifetime movie, this is one of the better ones.

Claire goes out with her gals on Valentine's Day and meets Brian who just happens to be a con man who ends up framing her for his wife's murder who just happens to be Claire's boss! Coincidence? Will Claire be able to clear her name? Tune in. Very well written story and some very good acting but a few plot holes. Definitely recommend.

It is really annoying that the movie takes place in Philly in February and yet there is fall foliage everywhere. And she runs in the woods and there isn't one drop of snow in the whole movie. And no one is wearing winter coats. Fall clothes all around. Not important for the story but really annoying. No attempt was made for authenticity in keeping it a Valentine's movie.

Well, as I sat down to watch this 2021 thriller titled "Galentine's Day Nightmare", I must admit that my expectations weren't except up there. I mean, the movie's title seemed rather poor. But still, as it was a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to give it a chance, now that I had the opportunity to do so.

And I will go ahead and say that writer Andrea Canning actually managed to compile a rather interesting storyline here, and it was a story that proved entertaining and also had some good enough twists along the way, making it for a not overly predictable movie actually.

The movie had a good ensemble of actors and actresses on the cast list. I wasn't familiar with the people here, so that was good, as it is something I enjoy in movies.

While director Roxanne Boisvert definitely managed to make the script into an entertaining movie, this was hardly a movie that you will watch more than once though. Why? Well, the storyline just doesn't have the contents to support more than a single viewing. While this is not an edge-of-your-seat type of thriller, it is the type of thriller that creeps in under the skin and lingers.

My rating of the 2021 thriller "Galentine's Day Nightmare" lands on a six out of ten stars.
