The House on the Hill

My wife who has a talent for finding awful movies exceeded herself with this excuse of a thriller - my dogs could have created a more believable plot than the garbage served up in this excuse of a film - so bad I urge you to watch and wonder how the writer got away with this.

Not sure what people expect from these types of movies, so for this made for tv genre this wasn't badly filmed at all, I also think the acting was way better than most. I certainly enjoyed enough to even watch again if it was on.

For a TV movie. The opening is an oddity, as she crashes the car killing husband and son then we see her as she gets to leave the "nursing" establishment where she has been for a 4 year period. The doctor looks as though she just came from a page 3 shoot. Then "Megan" gets into her own car, not having driven for a few years and away she goes. There are only 3-4 suspects including a brother who is in and out and her relationship with a bartender. Nice for those of us old enough to see Mariette Hartley, although very briefly. Given some of the movies on "freeview" in recent days, this is worth watching albeit not the same level of acting you would get in a top notch thriller.

Never should have been built. (Samaire Armstrong gives a decent enough performance, but that's the only positive.)

Possibly the worst written TV movie - even by LMN standards. Every small town mystery trope is trotted out. Appears to have been written in 5 minutes.

Zero points for the writer's horrible way of working 'Last House on the Left' in the script.
