My Landlord Wants Me Dead

The plot was ridiculous. I had hopes based on the description, bit the entire thing made no sense.

"Maddie" drops/flunks out of college and goes to stay at her aunt's free place. The aunt is having issues with her husband (Paul) and also tells her there is no tv, internet (really?) or cell service. But there is a landline!

Blah blah boring plot with a creepy Paul lurking, a "hot" neighbor and typical Lifetime plot. And how did the aunt get back from Africa so quickly?! Lol

I'm sorry to say this, but the actress Emily Villarreal is AWFUL. With a valley girl voice bordering on Britney Spears twang and just poor skills, she made the movie worse. Just bad The actor playing Paul was ridiculous. So over the top, almost a cartoon villain.

I usually like the "so bad they are good" Lifetime movies, but this was just bad. Do not recommend.

This movie took me by surprise. I was expecting the usual lifetime dumb girl, dumb set up, dumb dialogue, and it had ALL of those things but then it got really weird and that sucked me in big time.

The bathtub scene freaked me out! I haven't seen anything like that on Lifetime!! The step dad was crazy but also pretty funny. I LOL'd several times, but then he'd get super creepy again like having sex with a dead body creepy! OMG! I was surprised they went there.

Maddie could have been smarter. I don't know why they insist on making all these women so stupid! But overall I had a good time watching it and it kept my interest. This movie is Friday the 13th meets Nancy Drew. It didn't take itself too seriously and actually had some touching moments. Worth the watch and everyone was super pretty!!! I wish they had shown the cat.

This movie might be ok had another casting choice been made. The lead girl is SO terribly annoying it's hard to watch and listen to. My initial thought was thank God I'm not young and in the dating pool because if she is what's out there, I'd prefer to die alone. Awful. Her friend and the simp next door aren't much better. The antagonist (landlord) looks and acts the part, good casting choice. The bathtub scene and phone call afterward where he's trolling her are funny. I'm sure if I had to deal with this annoying girl I'd feel the same way as him. Please Lifetime for the love of God, lose this actress's contact info and don't cast her again...

Well, some good some bad. Where to start? Three glaring mistakes- more than I have seen in any Lifetime movie. (See the goofs section for those.) The Paul character is just too over the top. Kind of like an 8th grader trying to fill a role as a crazed lunatic. Not believable whatsoever.

The plot was passable but so disconnected from reality. Layla comes to visit but never stays the night- and always leaves after dark. A sure LMN formula for disaster.

Maddie hits Paul three times with a shovel but does not bother to finish him off, I guess she is planning that the authorities will get there before he gets her. But this is another part of the LMN formula- when the good guys (or gals) have the opportunity to finish off the baddie, they never do.

Another part of the LMN formula is that the female will hit the bed with a guy she hardly knows, and the sooner the better. Maddie fulfilled that part of the formula. (Also seems that Kaycee had done likewise.) The bright spot was Emily Roslyn Villarreal. Nice to look at, played the part well with appropriate emotion. She is the reason for the 5 star. Otherwise this movie would have been a 1 or a 2.

When Madeline flunks out of college and loses her job, she turns to her Aunt Grace for help. A secluded ranch house with a cute neighbor and beautiful scenery seems too good to be true until a series of strange and terrifying events begin to occur. With nowhere else to go, Madeline launches an investigation in an attempt to protect her Aunt Grace, not knowing that her own life is in danger.

Emily Roslyn Villarreal in the lead role plays a typical teen girl with a squeaky voice and comes across a bit airheaded but she figures out something isn't right at the ranch she's staying at, and this is due to her weird landlord - her aunt's husband. He warns her not to go in his bedroom and we soon learn why in this lively and fun thriller. Roy Abramsohn as the batty landlord is great, he's so over the top in his villainy and nasty enough for you to get his upcommence.
