The Killer in My Backyard

The Lifetime Movie Machine churns out another one. Don't the writers get tired of reusing the same formulas all the time? The same plots, over and over again? The same "twists" over and over again? Gaping plot holes you can drive a truck through?

I guess not. How else can they keep producing around two movies a week?

If you've seen any of the previous Lifetime "obsessed tenant" movies, you've already seen this one. Skip it.

Not as bad as other reviewers say it was, imho. Eric and Allyson buy a home and rent out their guest house to Eric to make the mortgage payments. But, unfortunately for them, Eric is not who he says he is. He has the hots for Allyson and tries to break up the happy couple but will he succeed? Tune in to find out but it was worth a watch, anyway!.

The story doesn't make any sense + the way how they act is silly, background music is horrible!

This is kind of movie that the actors knew there is a camera, They are not comfortable in their performances. In summary, don't waste your time.

The plot has been done before so I knew I wasn't going to see anything new. But the acting was beyond awful. The guy who plays Josh was downright embarrassing. Try a new gig, dude, acting is not for you. The 2 cops were also laughably bad with the few lines they had, not to mention the scene and dialogue were stupid and unrealistic.

As usual, nice setting Lifetimes gives us. Points only for that.

Not worth the watch.

....they'd rush round with the sirens blaring.

This was the point at which I couldn't take any more and stopped watching - I was already at the end of my tether for all the reasons listed by other reviewers. From what I'm gathering I made the correct decision.

Apparently I need another 300 odd characters before I can submit, so I may as well continue - the cardboard characters, the unrealistic scenario that the husband would just let the guesthouse out to a stranger on a whim because he seemed OK, without references or even speaking to his wife first, even though it's a jointly owned property - I dread to think how much worse the decision making from the "protagonists" became - it usually ends up with one or both of them going to an isolated place alone to confront the dangerous killer.

Enough characters now. Phew.
