    Horrible

    The story doesn't make any sense + the way how they act is silly, background music is horrible!

    This is kind of movie that the actors knew there is a camera, They are not comfortable in their performances. In summary, don't waste your time.

    not only would the local police get involved in a civil dispute....

    ....they'd rush round with the sirens blaring.

    This was the point at which I couldn't take any more and stopped watching - I was already at the end of my tether for all the reasons listed by other reviewers. From what I'm gathering I made the correct decision.

    Apparently I need another 300 odd characters before I can submit, so I may as well continue - the cardboard characters, the unrealistic scenario that the husband would just let the guesthouse out to a stranger on a whim because he seemed OK, without references or even speaking to his wife first, even though it's a jointly owned property - I dread to think how much worse the decision making from the "protagonists" became - it usually ends up with one or both of them going to an isolated place alone to confront the dangerous killer.

    Enough characters now. Phew.

    No comment!

    Never seen so many dumb clueless characters in a single LMN movie! It must be a record! Not even going to bother analysing this codswallop! So just been told my review is too short and needs to be 150 characters. Let's try one more time!

    Awful acting

    The plot has been done before so I knew I wasn't going to see anything new. But the acting was beyond awful. The guy who plays Josh was downright embarrassing. Try a new gig, dude, acting is not for you. The 2 cops were also laughably bad with the few lines they had, not to mention the scene and dialogue were stupid and unrealistic.

    As usual, nice setting Lifetimes gives us. Points only for that.

    Not worth the watch.

    First time in my life I can say I wasted 90min of it

    The acting is not so bad as a producing and the screen play ...dont waste ur time...the only good thing they did in the movie was the trailer and the rest is history.
