Pet peeve. I know these are LMFC (Lifetime Movies for Chicks) and the acting and directing will be average at best. But damn, even in high school you learn to act with zeal and gusto. In this flick, 17 year-old kids are playing socceer on the most lame fashion. The whole movie is half-hearted. Was there no director?
The storyline is fine, but the acting and directing were below par. Even for a LMFC.

Lust for Murder AKA The Wrong Student is a dismal Lifetime movie.
Madeline (Evanne Friedmann) is an unstable high school student who is obsessed with her muscular soccer coach. However when people get in the way of the object of her affections, she resorts to murder.
The actress playing Madeline looks too old to be still at school. The acting is below par, the story is predictable.

Is this really based on a true story as claimed? It might well be based on "Fatal Attraction", "Single White Female" or at a push "The Hand That Rocks The Cradle", although it isn't anywhere near as good. This time we have a psycho-bitch in a gymslip, well, a soccer kit. To call it predictable doesn't do it justice because there is never any doubt about who is the villainness or what she is planning, and the ending is inevitable.
All that and only one murder. Seriously, give this one a miss unless you are a man and so vain you believe an obsessed teenager really could kill for you.

I didn't give this movie my full attention, but I caught on to the story line somewhat. I wished I had watched it with my full attention because I thought it was really good with lots of twists and turns and trying to figure out exactly what was going on. I actually thought the girls were training for track and running, but another review said it was soccer the girls were training for. Anyway, the sport wasn't that relevant to what was really going on behind the scenes. I missed the beginning because we came in on the movie about 15-20 minutes late. So to me, the movie was more about revenge than anything else and you never know exactly who's responsible for the revenge because a change of heart takes place and that's what makes this story interesting. I want to see it one more time from the beginning. It's definitely worthy of a viewing. Go for it!

Didn't seem bad but I literally could not watch it any longer with the blur they added around scenes often that interfered with the actors own faces. What was that all about? I had to turn it off just couldn't do it anymore. Seems like it would have been a fine, along the lines LMN movie but just couldn't stand the horrible picture. It was like publish and someone couldn't figure out the fading scale.

Ive never written a movie review & I am a certified LMN fan; with that said this one was bad. The best part about this film is the casts attractiveness. Otherwise the plots got more holes than moth eaten lace! I watched the whole movie hoping it would get better, knowing there wasn't much redemption. There are even edit errors, girl has 2 ponytails in the beginning scene & 1 ponytail 2 minutes later in the same scene. How anyone could give this a higher rating than 4, IDK. I guess it could be a good drinking movie?

Terrible story
Terrible acting
Weird characters
You would have thought the least the producers would have done is had the Football coach learn how to kick a ball. Terrible movie
