The Stranger in Our Bed

Samantha Lee Howe wrote the book the movie is based from which has the same name along with the screenplay apparently even though she is not credited for it.

The writer specialty is Thrillers and claims it is based from a true story which I am still trying to find out what actual story. Either way it hit a nerve especially with women.

It did have some twists that I did not expect along the way and who doesn't like seeing the wealthy having to bicker?

Worth the read or the watch especially if you enjoyed the book.

Loved the book and so was anxious to see how the film had been adapted....and thankfully really liked it, good acting in the main from Samantha Bond, Emily Berrington and Ben Lloyd Hughes ( only just realised knew him from 'Me Before You' ) very atmospheric, the houses used are amazing, truly amazing, my eyes were all over looking at the things especially in the Manor House, location wise was very watchable and recognised a lot of places, there were unexpected twists in it ( for my other half who hadn't read the book! ) all in all a really good psychological thriller which am pleased stayed very close to the original book.

I've seen Before I Go To Sleep so many times and I just realized that the plot is quite familiar despite having a slightly different setting, backgrounds and motives (the aforementioned film is based on the novel as well). An unhappy married couple, a woman wants to get away with it and uninspiring way to end her misery. That's basically Before I Go To Sleep with wealthy backgrounds, mother in-law intervention and witnessing a crime scene. No big names who starred in this film bar the mother in-law who was Miss Moneypenny in Brosnan-era Bond film. Finding out that the leads are actually married in real life while being abusive and manipulative in this film feels so surreal.

British thriller film produced in 2022. The film is about a woman who married an unstable but very rich man and tries to get rid of him. The man really wrote the book of repugnance. It's like a made-for-TV movie. Acting is very unprofessional. The script is very familiar. The worst part is that the mind of the viewer is being mocked. I'm sure the IMDB rating will drop as you watch. The best thing in the movie is the leading actress. I do not recommend the movie. For better ones, my suggestion would be "Unfaithful" and "Before I Go To Sleep".

There are no nudity or sexually explicit scenes in the movie.

I'm extremely keen on watching all kinds of movies in all genres, and at last count I've watched around 30,000 movies. The truth is that this one had a good premise, but surely the screenwriter "forgot" to give some pages to the director and he didn't notice. Or else the editor received an unfair salary and "murdered" the film in the Final Cut ( sorry for the infamous joke ) The "Hitchcockian" touches excited me at first, until I realized it was a cheap copycat that didn't see all of the Master's work from Suspense. The plot has dozens of loose ends, the main actress confuses "indifference" (which she showed in the film) with "I'm confused about what's going on". Don't waste time watching, run away!
