Safe Room

This was well done. I can't imagine the challenges of filming with a leading man who plays someone with autism when he is autistic. Very brave of the producers. The portrayal of the mood and character of Baltimore neighborhood was on. I am glad that the murders and life toll was fictitious. The film is reminiscent of Hitchcock's Rear Window for me. Thank you for using Baltimore to shoot this. It accurately depicts living with an autistic child. Give it a watch and consider for yourself.

Lila lives with her autistic son, Ian, who is also a gadget genius and who just videotaped a murder across the street. Trouble is the killer saw him recording it and go after both of them so they lock themselves in a safe room. This movie has a great cast and a great script! Highly recommended!

So I'm very picky when it comes to lifetime movies. There are indeed a few slamdunks such as "Amanda Knox" (with Hayden Panettiere) , "Baby Sellers" (with Kristie Alley), "Beaches" (the remake with Idina Menzel, and Nia Long), "A Deadly Adoption" (with Will Ferrell, and Kristen Wiig) and "Stalkers" with Drea De Matteo (who is in this movie) , Mena Suvari, and Jodi Lynn O'Keefe.

"Safe Room" aka "Safe Space" is about a widowed mother with a son that has autism. Her autistic son accidentally recorded a murder on a video camera and the intruders try to do whatever it takes to retrieve the evidence.

The villains of this movie are played by Mackenzie Astin, and Drea De Matteo. This movie gave me goosebumps. "Safe Room" has vibes of the movies "Rear Window" and "Panic Room". Boris Kodjoe nails he is directorial debut in this lifetime movie.

Drea De Matteo is a psychopath in this movie and this is a huge departure for her playing battered women, and victims of a crime! I hope to see her play more villains in her career. This is the best lifetime movie I've seen in a long time!

Pretty much do not waste your time, or money watching this. I'm not sure how they managed to find investors to bank roll this absolute waste of digitized celluloid. Terrible.

Seriously this is just a horrible rip off of the movie Panic Room and Fear.

I guess since the main character is "diverse" it ticks off the right boxes to be made today but Ugh. Even the name screams wokeness "Safe Space".
