Psycho Intern

This movie is exactly as I expected it to be: an average watch with no surprises but which provides ok entertainment to pass the time. If you like these sorts of Lifetime movies then you'll probably like this one, if you don't, then you won't. Not much else to add. My rating: 5/10. Note: Emmanuelle Vaugier was the leading actress, I didn't see her credited here; she was fine.

Maya, a project manager, meets Alex Dales, an intern who has the hots for her. Trouble is Alex is a psycho! I had a hard time coming to grips with why it took so long for Maya to catch on to who Alex was! That really hurt the movie which had the potential to be so much better! Missed opportunity and not recommended.

It reminded me of SWF (Single White Female). I watched the whole movie, so I somewhat enjoyed it. Would I watch it again? Probably not. Honestly, the only major issue I had was the cut scenes. The cut scenes reminded me of a TV series cut. I was sure that a commercial was about to start. They were a little random too, but not too much. I guess it confused me because I was not sure if it was a TV series or a movie. Otherwise, as stated before, the movie was okay but I do not see myself watching it again in the future. I experienced it and that was that. I may recommend it to friends or family..

Well this 2021 TV movie thriller titled "Psycho Intern" (aka "Don't Look There") is a watchable thriller, although it is not an outstanding or particularly exciting thriller.

The storyline told in "Psycho Intern", as written by Matt Fitzsimons and Ken Miyamoto is pretty straight forward and entertaining enough for what it turned out to be. This is, however, a rather simplistic storyline and plot that doesn't mentally challenge or stimulate the audience. So you essentially just switch to autopilot and cruise through the movie. The plot and storyline is, however, suffering from being rather generic and predictable.

Director Ann Forry does manage to deliver a watchable movie with the material readily at hand. However, this is hardly a movie that warrants more than just a single viewing.

The acting performances in the movie were adequate, and Emmanuelle Vaugier does manage to carry the movie well enough with her performance, despite having a generic script to work with. While Madison Smith is an adequate enough actor, he just didn't manage to portray the deranged character in an overly believable fashion.

For a thriller then "Psycho Intern" was just a dime a dozen, so the movie sort of failed to stand out amidst a sea of similar movies. My rating of "Psycho Intern" lands on a bland five out of ten stars. Watchable, but hardly memorable or outstanding.

I thought this movie was well done for this genre. We know what to expect and that's why we watch. Some good surprises. Well directed and acted. Much more so than others I have seen. Definitely worth a watch!
