So bad it's funny

Very typical thriller not many surprises. Director wasn't able to create suspense. I understand that low budget has it's limits but we have seen many good or decent thrillers with low resources. Richard is so over the top villain it's comical. You must see it to believe it. Mother is clueless. Dialogue is so bad it's funny. Main character actor was better than expected. Little sister read her lines like a robot.

wasted opportunity

I'll keep it short and sweet. The story line and even the dialogue were good, and had potential for a Hollywood movie with a good cast, instead it was wasted on this boring TV movie. The acting was terrible with the exception of Deveaux who had some good moments. The rest were terrible especially the McNamara and Trickey idiots! That's about it.

Speaking of McNamara, I am sorry but he has made me cringe in every LMN movie I've seen him in!

Good cheese

If you want pure, cheesy trash to enjoy- this is it. My wife and I love LMN-style cheesy movies. We enjoyed this one quite a bit!

The lead villain is a regular in these flicks and now my wife and I often imitate his insidious laughing. If you don't like trashy flicks, skip this. But if you like an extra serving of cheese, you'll like this!

A stranger in the house

Violent, cheaply made thriller about a teenage girl with a painful secret forcing her to seek refuge with unsavoury associates (who may be more dangerous than the evil at home).

Deveaux does a good job with a script full of perfunctory dialogue and hopelessly contrived situations, whilst the experienced Trickey also excels in a physical role as her ignorant mother. Aside from those two, the remaining cast and characters are painfully uneven, potentially a symptom of the low production values (I noticed also either the framing or wardrobe seems to be occasionally off revealing highly visible makeup lines in some shots).

Has a seedy, uncomfortable urban feel that adds some realism, but there's more than a few plot holes and illogical situations that will either make you shake your head or chuckle with bemusement. Very average telemovie.
