The central premise of writer Stephen Romano’s Lifetime movie Don’t Let Him Find You is nearly identical to that of David Cronenberg’s A History of Violence: a life-changing event in an everyday citizen’s life is captured on the news, propelling them into the spotlight and revealing that they once had a completely separate – and dangerous – former life.

In Violence, Viggo Mortensen’s character Tom was <spoilers for a ~20 year old film> a hit-man who left a life of crime life behind. In Don’t Let Him Find You, Alex McDowell (Brianna Cohen) has a similarly violent past, captured by director Christine Conradt in slightly hazy, washed-out flashbacks.

Alex is plagued by nightmares of a battle with a woman, eventually revealed to be her sister Ashley (Ella Frazee). The outcome was deadly and Alex fled, changing her name, cutting ties with her powerful mother, and spending the ensuing 15 years flying under the radar. During that time,...

Lifetime’s latest thriller drops viewers into the action right from the jump. Under desaturated grey/blue skies, introverted lawyer Mel (Lindsey Desbach) rides a ferry to Feng Key island.

Clearly something is amiss and seemingly everyone knows it, including Wayward hostel owner Keaton (Adam Harper) and his...

But she's not necessarily feeling the "need for speed" As her former co-stars Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer suit up for the sequel to 1986's Top Gun, Kelly likely won't be reprising her role as flight instructor Charlie Blackwood, Tom's on-screen love interest. Instead, she has been sticking to quieter projects like Hallmark movies and horror flicks. Kelly starred in Hallmark's An Uncommon Grace last year, for example, playing a grandmother living on a farm in Amish country. Other recent gigs of hers include the horror films The Innkeepers and We Are What We Are, the thriller Mother of All Secrets, and episodes of the TV shows The L Word and Z Nation. Kelly in Top Gun.
