Next-Door Nightmare

The actors used in Reel One, Mar Vista etc movies bought by Lifetime get progressively worse. No exception here, except for the old woman/main character.

Not a bad way to pass a rainy afternoon, but usually endings show some sort of epilogue with the baddie either in jail or a psych ward. Instead here we get a kumbaya shot maybe 2 years later.

This is basically an average acted lifetime type movie. It's been done before 100 times and much better than this. And who can dig in frozen ground??? :o Too much stuff going on that is just plain IMPOSSIBLE to swallow and was just downright laughable. I say pass on this unless your just SUPER BORED! :(

No, really. I love LM and for me this was a good movie. Not the best but not the worst either. I thought Ms. Borsellino had a beautiful smile. This movie could have done with some comic relief, it was a bit too serious for me to love it. But it did the job in keeping me interested while I finish a giant diamond poster of Elvis just in time for my mothers bday on the 6th. No complaints here, if you like LM it is just like the rest of them. Nothing new or special, just more of the same.

Good acting by all. The villain both annoyed and creeped me out. For her part, she was a masterful manipulator and Sarah's desperate need for connection made it so easy. The most facepalm-worthy moments were how trusting Sarah became so fast. Even with her loneliness and trying to rebuild the trust with Mark her husband, Helen was so pushy and aggressive, I think the movie should have had her at least react to that either as a moment with herself or maybe saying something to her best friend Jen. It wasn't necessarily believable that it took her being kidnapped to finally get something was off with Helen. In some ways, her history made it work and I don't think she was an idiot or anything for believing Helen, but hopefully she'll never be so trusting again. Lifetime has movies where gullible protagonists get people murdered, and Sarah wasn't one of those kinds of protags.

Another movie set in the winter time, and I gotta say, I love it. It adds to the mood and feeling of isolation of the situation as opposed to the sunny, Canadian "LA" backdrops of most of the films.

I recommend at least one watch and judge for yourself.

I guess the budget was very limiting and they did very well. Many scenes are cringe, but overall it is okay movie. No big surprises in it though. Enjoy.
