Sinister Stepsister

Jeff Mitchell seems to have it all: an interesting and lucrative job, a loving wife, and two amazing kids. Life is good. And then, one bright day, a cosmic sucker punch comes from out of the blue. When Jeff was in high school, unbeknownst to him, he got his girlfriend pregnant. The girl moved away, had the baby, and raised her as a single mother, never telling her daughter, Carlee, who her real father was. However, Carlee's mother recently died in a tragic accident, prompting Carlee to try and uncover the truth.

Just by looking at the title you know it's going to be about a stepsister who isn't really a stepsister and has two bolts missing from a spanner to boot, and kills, manipulates and falsely accuses her 'sister'''s boyfriend of giving her a neck bite - it treads the well worn path of a Lifetime Thriller but it still enjoyable and has some heart stopping moments. Annika Foster plays the psycho stepsister, and does well, Tu Morrow plays the cutie half-sister who uncovers the truth about her deranged sibling.

Jeff and Lisa have 2 teens, Noah and Ella. Suddenly out of nowhere, a college girl shows up claiming to be Jeff's daughter! But Ella isn't so convinced even after she confirms her paternity with a DNA test and Jeff invites daughter Carlee to live with them! Big mistake and Carlee has ulterior motives. This was a good movie with a good script and definitely recommend!

It would take me a Lifetime to list all that is bad about this movie.

Terrible acting.

Unbelievable characters and a daft story that has been done many times previously but better.

Apparently in highschool Jeff had a thing and the ex girlfriend had a daughter. However Jeff is 47 and the daughemter is 34 in real life and looks it! . . .

Then Jeff's real daughter is 20/21 and is wearing a school uniform if a 14 year old lol . ..

Nonsense bets bypassed.

Man I am over halfway through this movie and it is trash. At first it was good with the basic set up. A girl who lost her mother finds the father she never knew she had. She just wants to be close to a family and blah blah blah. At first, like I said, GOOD! And then it quickly went off the rails. Ell is annoying af. I don't care how "smart" she is for having an "off" feeling about Cari whatever, it's just plain terrible how annoying and screechy she is. It instantly made me hope she got murdered honestly. The story line starts going all over the place at this point too. I was really hoping for that thriller/mystery, what happened to her mom and who is she type of feeling, but with 40 mins left to go and me laughing at the stupidity of the parents and the dumb repeating of already known things by characters, I don't have much hope.
