Twisted House Sitter

A down on her luck Uber driver drops off a wealthy client at the airport and once the client jets off, the driver decides to live the high life at the client's house without the client knowing. This is a Tubi Tv streaming exclusive with excellent production values, fast pacing and likeable characters. If you think the plot sounds like it couldn't possibly happen in 2021, the way the story is written, it makes perfect sense. All in all, a fun ride and the time went by quickly. This is very much a popcorn thriller in the style of Lifetime or Hallmark.

I enjoyed this movie. It didn't seem low budget, though I don't know what the budget was. It had a beautiful cast. I would've liked more character development, but I feel each character did well in bringing their characters to life. I especially loved the female leads. I adored childhood best. I could totally see this situation happening in real life, so I can appreciate that they didn't have all the characters making stupid decisions, but there was two who did.

Overall, this was a great movie and worthy of a watch. If it was a little longer to develop the characters, it would have been even better. But, It did what it was supposed to do, entertain.

I actually didn't hate this movie. I think Alicia was drop dead gorgeous! Her psycho guest was not as attractive. There were things throughout the movie that were hard to believe would happen in real life and for that this was a bad movie. I mean, at least get the little things right! If this movie was a bit more believable this would be a good attempt at a LM. But it was good if you like drama with holes in it. Oh, and unbelievable scenarios.

It was typical but a little better than the regular Lifetime Movies. I actually enjoyed the movie ! I watched it on Tubi, I didn't select the movie it just happened to start playing after another movie I watched. So I decided to see what it was about. It kept me interested and didn't bore me at all.

It felt like one of those "Lifetime" type TV movies, and there's nothing wrong with that if you know what to expect, and are OK with it, of which I was.

The story actually was interesting and believable from the start until towards the end, but then the nonsense, ridiculous and cringeworthy plot-hole scenes started towards the end. As if a small framed girl can overpower two men, one of them weighing probably three times more than her and easily one foot taller. It was just infantile and lazy writing, and it's odd there's no mention who the writer is. The terrible 15 minute ending alone was reason for my subtracting 2-3 stars off the rating. Yes, it's that bad compared to the rest of the film.

The cinematography and that gorgeous house setting was on point, but the score was loud and overbearing - typical of a low budget B-film. The casting and performances were decent, especially Crystal-Lee Naomi as Alicia, who only has 13 acting credits under her belt. But the much more experienced Jennifer Freeman as Morgan - with 31 acting credits, was awful right from the start. She was unconvincing, too aloof, and seemed like it was her first acting gig. Nevertheless, I did sit through the entire not-too-greatly paced 84 mins, and thus it's a generous 5/10 from me.
