Catfish Killer

I'm likely being more generous with this review after watching another Lifetime movie, Tempting Fate, which had the worst premise ever. Catfish Killer was exactly what you'd expect-like another good one, Pregnant and Deadly. I mean, come on; with titles like these, you know what to expect.

Catfish Killer was an entertaining little made-for-TV mystery where our heroine, Hannah, has the world at her feet-loving mother, acceptance to her chosen university, great friends, etc. Then she joins an app, meets this guy, and everything changes.

The movie did an excellent job of presenting a number of possible suspects, and the settings were nice. I liked the little house Hannah lived in with her mother. I watch noir movies made in the 1940s for great writing/acting and did not anticipate it here. And, as I stated earlier, the film adhered to the expected Lifetime movie formula and delivered all anticipated elements, which kept me entertained throughout. Giving Catfish Killer 5 stars.

At first I looked past the terrible music which was disturbing, not in a horror-kind-of-way. Unfortunately I could not save my eyes from the acting. Not by one actor/actress, but basically by all of them. The music combined with the latter caused me not to be emotionally engaged with the film. The graphics seemed to be produced with software which could be found on windows 95. The script is as outdated as their used software. Story wise, it could've actually been entertaining to watch. With such poor execution, however, I'd advise not to watch this movie and instead spent the time - that I have wasted, watching a snail race...
