Más allá de la locura

A good plot twist is one you don't see coming but when it happens you find yourself thinking "oh, so that's why..." In other words, the pieces of the puzzle should be introduced over the course of the movie, but then be assembled in an unexpected way.

With this movie, we have nothing to go on until the final twenty minutes when they introduce a completely absurd premise out of left field. They may as well have blamed everything on space aliens or vampires.

The acting and production quality of the film are pretty good. Nonetheless, when you get to the end you will feel cheated. Don't watch it.

I have to say that I was a little cynical even before i watched this movie. Having said that I found myself getting into it , and a little intrigued.

But really , Haylie Duff for the part? Not only can she not act, but she should seriously invest in some acting classes with regard to facial expressions . I could not bear to watch as she trundled along, looking pathetic and weak , and completely overreacting to everything!

At times, I just wanted to scream at her !!!

I did see it through to the end though, it was just ok, not blown away or surprised.

I have seen worse!

Well I liked the movie but at the end there's a young lady exiting the psychiatric ward and its a different face confusing. Was that supposed to be Haylie Duff?

This movie shows the bitter but hidden and very much dangerous mentality of criminals. I was shocked watching its end.

I've probably seen all of HD's Lifetime flicks, and honestly, she's the same character in each movie. I always see her. Now I know you're saying, it's Lifetime, what do you expect, but I certainly think she could probably switch it up sometimes. If it's a "thriller," she's always a tightly wound, anxious, ball of nerves. Her Christmas movies have the same issue where it's always Haylie Duff and not any given character.

All that said...it's not a bad movie. The storyline is a bit dark and a stretch, but if one watches within the context of the universe they set up, you just gotta roll with it. The opening scene is very dramatic and sets the tone and you will question whether or not she's crazy or being driven crazy. I think the supporting cast (some of who I recognize from Hallmark) do a good job of enough ambiguity so that you can't tell if the movie is being played straight OR if she's being gaslit (like the movie Gaslight). Going back to Haylie Duff...after a while you're going to get annoyed by her because the character's mood is always on eleven.

I won't spoil the ending, and it's not a must watch, but like another contributor said...if you watch past a certain point, you'll feel compelled to finish the movie. It's one of those movies where it's either A or B, so on the off chance someone wants to guess what happens, I won't say much more. Even though the movie's old.

Teri Polo is wasted here, but her role is more or less a cameo so easy money I guess.
