The Man in the Guest House

This is supposed to be a thriller but I was far from thrilled after watching it. Brandon and Ashley Burke are a couple who need to make some extra income so they fix up their guest house and plan to rent it out. The trouble is they lease it to the wrong tenant! Is anyone surprised by this? Dan Hansen is working on his MBA but has an ulterior motive for why he's there. Unfortunately, he 's planned to makes their lives a living hell. He says and does some things during the movie that make the couple suspicious of him and they are right to be. But why is he targeting them and is anyone else involved? The acting here is pretty wooden and this type of revenge trope is one Lifetime uses a lot. The script is good but quite predictable. It's an OK watch if you have nothing better to do!

My husband and I have really been into lifetime movies lately and when we saw this one ranked at a 5.2 we had low expectations. It was such a good movie we could not fathom how in the world it was ranked at a 5.2. We are pretty good at guessing how movies are going to end or at least where they're headed, and this one literally had us guessing the entire way. It was the perfect combination of romance, scandal, intrigue and good writing! If I had to rank the movie, I would rank it at a solid 7.5. After this, we are going to give a whole lot more 5.2 lifetime movies a chance! I really hope more people start giving it the credit that it's due.
