This movie shows the bitter but hidden and very much dangerous mentality of criminals. I was shocked watching its end.
I would have given this movie a 10 if it wasn't for the ending. Great plot and, in my POV, Haylie Duff delivered a powerful performance- one of the best. We had the boyfriend and real estate guy figured out early but never would have guessed the reason they were gaslighting her until near the end. In this computer age, a setup like that is very imaginable.
Haylie played the victim nicely- almost falling apart at times but holding it together at some important times. Guts and grit.
The ending let down everything the film had created. When the cops got the real estate guy and the boss and found all the computers and wiring and cameras in the house, they would have thoroughly investigated all the players, including the doctor (who we figured out was evil at her very first appearance.) Oh, but that's right, Lifetime always makes the cops into bumbling idiots, so the ring continues even though the bosses are gone and the doctor would have at least gotten spooked by the arrests and breaking up of the ring. Sad.

A good plot twist is one you don't see coming but when it happens you find yourself thinking "oh, so that's why..." In other words, the pieces of the puzzle should be introduced over the course of the movie, but then be assembled in an unexpected way.
With this movie, we have nothing to go on until the final twenty minutes when they introduce a completely absurd premise out of left field. They may as well have blamed everything on space aliens or vampires.
The acting and production quality of the film are pretty good. Nonetheless, when you get to the end you will feel cheated. Don't watch it.

I have to say that I was a little cynical even before i watched this movie. Having said that I found myself getting into it , and a little intrigued.
But really , Haylie Duff for the part? Not only can she not act, but she should seriously invest in some acting classes with regard to facial expressions . I could not bear to watch as she trundled along, looking pathetic and weak , and completely overreacting to everything!
At times, I just wanted to scream at her !!!
I did see it through to the end though, it was just ok, not blown away or surprised.
I have seen worse!

Awful ending costly.
I was, somewhat, enjoying 'Deadly Delusion' at the beginning, with Haylie Duff giving a strong performance in the lead role. However, not through any fault of her's, the film gets weaker and weaker and weaker, culminating in such a shoddy and forced conclusion. The actual concept of the end isn't actually a terrible one, though the way it's just thrown together without proper explanation or meaning is poor.
The acting talent, including Duff, is actually pretty good - a vast improvement on a lot of made-for-TV productions at least. Interesting to see Teri Polo make an appearance, too.
If the writing was better then I may have liked, or at least not disliked, this. Unfortunately, that ending derailed everything.
