How many times have I seen this movie. Must be 500 of them at least! Og course I have seen even worse movies but holy crap they can't make movies like they did back in the Years from ca. 80 '-97'. After that it have gone downhill. And When the actors look stupid you can't take the movie serious either. 2,5 Rating is correct after my opinion. It's like the director's today can't think anymore!! The old movies early 90's are Incredible compere to these new Life Time movies. The location,plot, camera Work and dialog and acting back then was 100 times better then these New movies today.
Lisa meets widowed author Ty Kellington and it's not long before they marry. At first, everything seems fine, but then Ty begins to resent all intrusions to their relationship and attempts to eliminate them. He's suspicious and possessive and is even unhappy about Lisa's pregnancy. When Lisa hurts her ankle during an argument, she becomes a prisoner in her own home. Ty becomes more and more controlling, unbalanced, and dangerous.

For made-for-TV, this is better than average, though it doesn't bring anything original to the screen. Michael Riley does a good job of switching from the perfect to not-so-perfect husband in an instant, and his character is what keeps you watching. The rest of the acting is a bit bland, and instead of fearing for our protagonist, you identify more with our villain.
I really loved this movie . If you are into " controlling physco husband " movies, then this is the movie for you !
Michael Reily is excellent as the latter , played the part brilliantly , and Tracy Nelson is great as the submissive , unsuspecting wife.
I actually got a Stephen King vibe throughout !!
The whole story moves and builds at a steady pace , culminating in a tense and thrilling end !
I highly recommend this one , its a 9 rating from me !!

The reporter Lisa (Tracy Nelson) meets the famous writer Ty Kellington (Michael Riley) in an interview, and sooner they get married. Their common life is perfect, almost a dream, until Lisa is invited by her old friend Matt Thompson (Thomas Calabro) to work with him in a radio show. The paranoid hidden side of the personality of Ty is unfolded, showing a deranged man capable of killing and threatening the life of Lisa, her sister Beverly (Andrea Roth) and close friends. "The Perfect Husband" is a forgettable and predictable festival of clichés, a low budget movie where is possible to guess the next scene. The performance of Tracy Nelson is horrible, in the lead female role, but Michael Riley and Andrea Roth have a good acting and at least I did not sleep along this foretold plot. My vote is four.
Title (Brazil): "O Perigo Dorme ao Lado" ("The Danger Sleeps SidebySide")

This is my favorite Lifetime movie! It's the king of wacky Lifetime! Ty Kellington is hilarious and played to absolute perfection by Michael Riley. For such a typical premise (insecure, jealous controlling husband) it could've been dull but there's twist and turns and you're never bored.
