This movie is definitely better than its rating. I recommend it.

I support all things Canadian so I gave this movie a go. Of course we all know that Canada doesn't have the huge Hollywood budgets. So if you go in knowing that, then you'll enjoy this movie.

A bit far fetched at times, even a bit surreal. But overall a nice flowing story. Acting was solid, again considering the cast isn't Hollywood A listers.

I recommend this movie to any true movie fan.

Creepy villain

There are some annoying plot holes, but the good acting made up for it. The ostensibly polite and helpful neighbour was a convincingly creepy villain. Less your out and out bloodthirsty sadist and more of a delusional but clever incel determined to bend women to his will. There was tension as we saw the heroine under Stepford wife indoctrination and I really wanted Simon to get his comeuppance.

Lipstick and rhubarb pie

I was pretty surprised at this one, it was much better than I was expecting for a TV movie. Story was good with a couple clever tricks up it's sleeve. It kept my attention and was entertaining with a solid cast. Everyone did a great job especially the leading lady. I wish as a whole it was a tad darker and creepier but, again, it was a made for TV movie. Give this one a shot, I would recommend.

It's Worth Your Time

It's a B movie for sure and at first it might seems like a Hallmark quality flick but the storyline is decent. The ending is predictable but it's fine.

Some logistical flaws to the story, but it was good enough

The first few minutes almost swayed me away - the robber sucked at acting. But despite being a made for a TV movie, this had some thrills and chills throughout.

I thought the two leads (Jessica & Evan) and the neighbor (Simon) played their roles with tenacity. Simon's character had a dark and ominous aura to him, specifically with the voice that he used.

The limitations were that the viewer doesn't fully understand Simon's motivations for entrapping women into his basement and making the room into a 1950s atmosphere. Also Evan and the police officer (Tyler) each entered Simon's home without any backup. They had substantial evidence that Simon was sadistic and creepy, and yet they just mosey on into his home without a care in the world.

Ultimately it was a decent movie, slightly gory but with a strong script.

Trivia
The bottle of wine Simon gives Jessica and Evan is branded "Chateau Poulette," after the film's director, Michel Poulette.

Goofs
The characters of Jessica and Evan are only engaged, yet they have the same last name, Crowder. (This, however, is not necessarily an error, perhaps they chose to have the same surname for convenience. This is the 21st Century after all.)

Quotes
Robin Simmons: [Jessica is lying in bed away from the door, arms crossed over her stomach as Robin looks sympathetically] How're you feeling?
Jessica Crowder: Leave me alone
Robin Simmons: Sorry if you feel like I betrayed you, but you were going to destroy our home.
[Jessica scoffs and shifts in bed]
Jessica Crowder: Stop calling this a home!
Robin Simmons: [forceful, goes to sit on bed] You would've ended up like Megan if I hadn't stopped you.
[Jessica partially sits up to face Robin, cautious, her face tear-stained]
Jessica Crowder: Who's Megan?
Robin Simmons: [looking away] The girl who was here before me. She couldn't find love in her heart for Simon and she kept trying t' run away.

Robin Simmons: No!
[her face crumbles a bit]
Robin Simmons: I did. It was my punishment. I didn't try hard enough to stop her. I can't go through that again.
