L'Étrangère dans ma maison

Killer Dream Home

This was a typical Lifetime movie. Full of cheese, deliberate over-acting, and plastic surgery. Like I said, typical, which I've come to expect from this genre.

What bothered me the most is the actress, Morgan, who plays the "villain". Like I said, I'm used to gross over-acting that Lifetime movies are notoriously known for, but the actress playing this part was so over-dramatic, it was painful:

1. She looks about 20 years older (I may be exaggerating, but, hey, I can do it too), than the couple she's trying to manipulate by flirting with the husband. A totally unbelievable maneuver. 2. She is not attractive at all, and the fact that she walks around acting like she is just cements that fact. 3. She swings her shoulders and hips so hard through the whole movie, she doesn't need a different weapon to kill anyone.

To sum up, again, EVERYONE in this movie is over the top, and the plot is as predictable as it sounds. The house itself could act circles around all of them. The husband has been addressed plenty in other reviews, so I won't go into him too harshly. At least I could tolerate his goofiness. Morgan, on the other hand, was unbearable, and made me realize that there is such a thing as "over"-overacting, even if it's a Lifetime movie.

Jules and her hubby flip houses. They are interested in one spectacular mansion that also has one Morgan interested. Morgan poses an interior designer to help Jules with the sale but also has ulterior motives. You will have to watch the movie to see what she does next. Very well written script. Eve Mauro does a great job as the 'baddie'! Good plot and Highly recommended.

I was not able to finish this movie for one reason: Morgan's awful laugh. I only see one other review that mentions her laugh. It was so irritating and she was constantly laughing. I had to turn it off. I think I would have enjoyed this movie otherwise.

"Killer Dream House" gave me pretty much everything I want in a Lifetime movie. It has a likable cast. They all do a nice job. The story was good and kept my interest. It didn't have a rushed climax the way many of Lifetime's movies do. I liked "Killer Dream House" and I will watch it again the next time it is on.

This movie was bad. I found the acting and the characters to be utterly annoying. The guy who played in the movie was a complete airhead for a dude. The psycho was not sexy even though she was trying so hard. This movie and many more are examples of how bad lifetime movies have become. These days movies cast actors who are on crack rather then talent. Do yourself a favor and skip this one.
