Quand le piège se referme...

A typical Lifetime movie with good acting and a descent plot.Just don't expect a masterpiece.

This was an interesting one. Now I get made fun of quite a bit because of my shameless love of tv-movies, especially Lifetime and Hallmark, there's just something so comforting about the cheesiness of them. Every now and again Lifetime will release a thriller/horror movie that is head and shoulders above any of the usual fare they release, and Unwritten Obsession (aka Fangirl) is one of those movies. It doesn't really feel like a tv-movie at all, it looks more like something that would be released in theatres or at the very least, straight-to-DVD. It actually has a little bit of a Stephen King vibe to it, think Misery meets Single White Female meets Girl on the Train. Another thing I really loved about it was the emphasis on books, I'm a big reader so the combination of books and horror made this a really fun one to watch. Check it out!

Lifetime Movies have gotten really over-the-top for the last 10 years. Most of them are painful to watch. Unwritten Obsession was a pleasant and welcome departure from that I must say! The characters are well portrayed; the plot is not overdone; the writing is superb, and the directing was magnificent. I've re-watched it several times.

I watch all lifetime movies and for me this was the first time that I ever sought out the director just to tell him how much I appreciated his film. I got a Steven King vibe from this movie. Reminded me of misery but had its differences. I actually couldn't tell what was coming. I had my suspicions but was wrong. I really enjoyed watching this film. Great work!

It is a good plot and a very good characters. It's a simple movie but this is attractive. Two female main characters doing a convincent and seductive role play. It's not a masterpiece but is a entertaining TV movie who will keep you focused until "the end".
