So I quite like Underwood, but she is just terrible at playing psycho villians, her facial expressions are just God aweful! Also there were many scenes where smimey Tom deserved a scillet to the upside of his head! If I had been Sam I would have thrown him out a long time ago!

Karina Segura was great! Her acting was believable. Hope to see more of her in thriller movies!
It's basically watching a soap opera with a start and end to one entire "dramatic" story.
The overbearing and constant score was very annoying. Zero music was needed in more than half of the entire scores runtime.
The acting for the most part was sub par - unconvincing and/or over exaggerated, but I'm sure that's mostly well-seasoned TV writer and director Fred Olen Ray's failure to direct his scenes and cast properly.
His directing in this one felt very amateurish, that the entire film seemed like an independent low budget amateur filmmaker's production. It felt very phony and unconvincing. The story has been done many times before, and much better, so not sure why we needed a "soap opera" version, that was predictable start to end.
Pacing and runtime were decent. If you have nothing better to watch, I guess this one is OK. It's a generous 6/10 from me

Refreshing change to see star Brittany Underwood playing the baddie. Unfortunately, even her acting chops can't rescue this movie from terrible acting and a bad script. The best part was the ending scene and even that was overacted. Keep on trying, Lifetime! One of these days, you'll get it right!
Eye candy movie.
November 11th after the 11th hour in year 2023rd.
Genre:
Family drama, mental illness, feminist.
What was this tv movie about?:
It was about a syco femmy. Supposedly wanting to be back in her daughter's life. So she Loki's her way into the house.
The story and the production overview:
The mother looked like the Shehulk actress.
They story was interesting. The execution of the film was fine.
The acting wasn't bad in most parts in my opinion.
From my perspective the mother was foolish for not doing reference check and leaving her dot alone right away with a stranger.
The fed lady was a tool. She potential almost got the mother killed because she couldn't just go to the cafe.
Overall a good film nevertheless for its tier level.
Highlight:
Nothing really... Eye candy was alright I guess.
Moral:
Do reference checks and unlock your vast intuition.
Rating:
It was fine.
Final words:
The ending could have been better.

- TriviaAll entries contain spoilers
- GoofsIn the next to last scene, Rebecca/Margaret gives Sam a beating, including several blows to the face. In the last scene, presumably some time later, there's barely a mark on her face, light bruising on her right cheek. At the least, she should have black and blue marks at her eyes and possibly bleeding, a broken nose.
