One Night Stand Murder

This movie looked good but I couldn't get through it. The lead actress, who plays Alyssa, is absolutely awful. Her acting isn't even good enough for community theater, let alone cable television. And not to be mean, but she is very unappealing. Casting her ruined what might have been a decent movie. Lifetime movies are a guilty pleasure but this one was a definite stinker. It is apparently based on true story. Maybe the real version is more interesting than the Lifetime version. Hopefully, when casting future movies, Lifetime will make an effort to hire better actors. As a side note, why does everyone in every Lifetime movie live in big beautiful homes, only drink wine and never lock their doors?

It was billed as "the murder after the night before" on UK channel 5. It is an awful movie. Plot holes, bad acting and sets that are pristine show homes being used by production. I would have given it a 1/10 but it was laughable so gave it a 2/10.

The main character was ridiculous and the writers only gave her a handful of brain cells - I am surprised the character knew how to "investigate" anything. The police were also written as mindless fools - the detectives don't ask for cctv, witness statements or anything. But hey ho, it was a 2pm movie on channel 5 so shouldn't expect much! Probably good for keeping pets company while you're out.

The writing is soo bad. I just can't believe it was made into a movie. Watched on Hulu spontaneously. At first I thought it was bad acting. And maybe it is but hard to tell with that script. Please, whoever greenlit this crap, don't make anymore. I don't usually do Lifetime or Hallmark movies because I know the story is usually the same. Honestly did not realize this was a Lifetime.

Yeah ill admit it, this film was not as bad as others ive seen. Of course the acting is not great, espeically from our detective character who does neither feel or look like he would be one. Casey hodge on the other hand I felt was belivable and her acting has something that could be further explored. She plays alyssa. A woman that wakes up in a bed she dosnt recognise and does not at first relize the man she is in bed with is dead. Instead of telling the cops she goes to friend cindy for help for some reason which makes her more suspicious then she should. So alyssa tries to be her own detective and does a better job at it. I mean this film was not the worst really and credit where credit is due casey hodge was godo.

I wasn't sure what to expect going in, but this movie turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The lead actress is captivating; not only is she beautiful on screen, but she brings a strong emotional presence that draws you in. The rest of the cast also delivers solid performances, and together they create believable tension throughout.

It's also nice to see more diversity represented in Lifetime movies. It adds depth and makes the story feel more grounded in today's world.

Some reviews have criticized the acting, but it's worth remembering that the characters are written to behave a certain way. Even if you wouldn't react the same in real life, the actors make the emotions and stakes feel real.

The movie has a nice pace and a twist at the end that caught me off guard. Definitely worth a watch. I'll be looking out for more from these actors and the production team.
