Deadly Patient

Of the gajillion moments in this film that had me face-palming and throwing my hands up, it's the exchange that occurred just after the 67 minute mark that finally made me lose it with the sheer, maddening stupidity of every character in this movie.

The scene starts with the lead woman getting a video call from her psycho stalker in which she recognizes his location and says, "My God that's my house." Then... man, then she engages him in conversation with befuddlement like she STILL hasn't grasped that this guy has been behind everything the whole movie (the murders, the sabotage, the hacking, the break-ins) despite having already made that conclusion a few times by now in earlier scenes.

She checklists the deadly events of the film as he 'evil-genius' explains how and why he did them. All to her shocked bewilderment (again, despite scenes having already shown her figuring things out just minutes ago). And then, astoundingly, less than 2-minutes into this exchange she asks him, "Where are you?"

Seriously?!?

"Where are you?"

She goes from 'That's my house' to 'Where are you' in the matter of 100 seconds?!

She knows that her sick mother is at home, the same home that she recognized the stalker is currently calling her from. The same stalker who had just admitted to murdering her best friend, his previous girlfriends, a guy she met earlier, and got her fiance fired.

Yet she finishes the rest of this scene trying to respectfully plead with the guy to go find psychological help.

That scene is merely just one of many like it in this film and I still have another 17 minutes left to go.

Sigh.

***edit: WTF?! Literally another 2 minutes later this entire conversation happens again when she calls her sick mom, shocked to learn that there is a mysterious male nurse there with her now. The woman asks to put him on the phone and... to her shock and horror discovers that the nurse is actually... her stalker! And he's in her house!!

The very same stalker who had just video called her only minutes ago from that very same house. And once again she kindly pleads for him to seek mental help.

That's it. I'm done. I don't care how it ends. These back-to-back scenes have already killed too many braincells.

If you enjoy soap operas, this is the movie for you!

The movie is made up of bad acting, probably a newbie at directing (if you take the acting into account). Predictable storyline, and absolutely emotionless. It has unrealistic responses to natural events. Common sense was not included into this story line and I feel extremely insulted that someone would feel like this was supposed to be worth the watch. The whole movie feels rushed. I get what the writer was trying to achieve, but someone dropped the ball. Just weird but in a bad way. Don't bother unless you want to be left speechless and have time to waste on a brain dead movie. Way better stuff out there.

Whoever gave this movie high marks are dillusional. This is such a poor cheesy American obsession movie that should have got rejected.

The concept was good...the execution was absolutely terrible...

I cringe when I watch movies like this and I feel sorry for the actors being basically forced to do something like this because they have nothing else to 'act on'.

Every bit of it was expected and if you don't know what good acting is or good in general this is the movie for you.

It's a shame because this could have been made so much better...

Being a big movie guy I hate giving bad reviews, but the producers, directors and crew need to really focus on better film-making.

Very disappointed.

Could have been better. One of the worst Lifetime type movies I've ever seen as in acting was laughable, plot had opportunity to be good but missed the mark. Was very predictable & the ending sadly leaves an opening for a sequel...eeek.

Only positive thing is that it makes you think just how easily this could result happen & probably happens more than we know in real life.

Scary thought that there really are people who live in a fantasy world & are willing to do whatever it takes to get the object of their desire.

The villain certainly had the creep factor so iI'll give the Producers that.

But please don't breed with a sequel lol.
