Woman on the Edge

The idea that people could be so readily and effectively hypnotised to do such a range of things is just absurd.

Too much to stomach for Lifetime even.

Do not bother.

The title of this Lifetime movie, My Husband's Deadly Past, tells the audience that the husband is the killer but there's a whole lot more to the plot which really keeps you guessing for a while......Sarah Butler does an excellent job portraying the wife who figures out what he's up to and how to stop it all before he kills her, too. Highly recommended and will watch again.

I will admit that I've been a huge fan of Sarah Butler. So I'm biased. Still, she does a great job playing the damsel in distress here.

However, I can only go as high as 7 on this film. There were at least a couple of unrealistic scenarios (arguably plot holes), and the whole premise of hypnosis being used in the way suggested, brings the film down a couple of nothces.

The plot is way too formulaic. If you haven't figured out how the while thing 30 minutes in, then you haven't watched enough Lifetime movies.

So why do I give it such a high rating? I find Lifetime movies fun to watch and I did enjoy watching this.

...was the commentary done by the woman during commercial breaks. At least Lifetime is acknowledging that these movies aren't to be taken seriously. Most of us already know that, but I do see reviews here that treat these movies as if they are more than simple mindless diversions. They are formulaic, with plot holes you could drive a truck through if you pay too close attention to them.

I have to go now. I need to buy a strobe light so I can get people to do whatever I want!

If there's one thing I love about LIFETIME, it's amazing actress Sarah Butler's movies and from her 3 'Spit On Your Grave' movies to this FANTASTIC Thriller 'Woman On The Edge (My Husband's Secret Past)', she really pushes her acting to the limit and this edge of your seat thriller! I really liked her character Karen Croft, a woman who at the beginning, has these dream's that she murdered a young woman, but there's more to this story than that and there's a whole lot more to the plot which really keeps you guessing for awhile. Of course, Sarah Butler portrays the wife and she does an excellent job and at one point you're trying to piece the who story together! There are no car chases, but the prison break scene makes you scratch your head! I really connected to the actor Peter Benson, who plays Karen's husband Otto, a psychologist. I've also followed his work. This movie is actually one of Butler's better one's. This movie was worth watching again.
