    Entertaining but dumb

    The movie was somewhat entertaining but too many dumb moves, especially toward the end. And speaking of the end, what a stupid ending!

    Sloppy Joe Killer

    Movie should be re-titled to above. This movie was made on a $30 budget. Story line, cinematography and acting were all really bad.

    Hey....what's that bad smell?

    Well, I will tell you what that bad smell is. It's another in the series of a real "stinker" Lifetime movie with a cheap ending that is not worth the viewers time. The plot has been written and done ad nauseam, about an unknown good looking man named Mark James (Marcus Rosner) who moves next door, or in this case into the attractive victims guest house and begins almost immediately both wooing his victim named Gina Larson (Chelsea Hobbs), with cooked meals, and planting flower beds, and just as quickly Mark starts killing the men involved in the victim Gina's life.

    Oh ..... but just like cooked meat that sits in your open garbage can for a few days instead of disposing of it right away, the stink gets worse each day just like this cheap thriller got worse with each passing minute. If you have ever taken a good whiff of rotting meat you will surely ask yourself, "why did I just smell that rotting meat?" Well that's what I did after watching this stinker Lifetime thriller. Why did I even bother wasting my time?

    Confucius say.... Man who gets kicked in the testicles is left holding the bag. Don't get left holding this bag of dung. I give it a 4 out of 10 IMDB rating.

    Same ol same ol

    Same story line. As usual in lifetime movies, women are portrayed as dumb and clueless!! Btw this is a sequel to Killer Downstairs!

    Psycho in the guest house

    If you are familiar with LMN/Lifetime movies then you know the title tells you what the movie is about. In this movie, Marcus Rosner is Mark James, the psycho in the guest house. Chelsea Hobbs is Gina, the pretty photographer who rents her guest house to Mark.

    Why am I giving this movie a mediocre review. Well, this movie moves very slow. Some of the things the killer did were dumb, like the ncident with the USB drive. There are some entertaining scenes, like Gina's birthday party, but not enough to prevent the boredom. I don't care if it's a Lifetime/LMN movie, my expectation is always the same, to be entertained. I was not entertained.

    Kudos to the main actors. I thought both Marcus Rosner and Chelsea Hobbs gave good performances. Rosner (Mark), was believable as the psycho. I think his whistling added a little creepy vibe to the movie.

    I was perfectly fine with the ending. I was just glad it was over.

      The $50 bill that Levon leaves next to the computer says on it "Motion Picture Use Only". Also, she said the fee was $1,200 but there is clearly only the one $50 bill.
