The Stranger in Our Bed

This movie says the example of why we should not transform each and every single successful book into a movie. I can see how this story would fly in a book, as it resembles to a fairy tale. It's transformation into a movie made it unrealistic. It is really a very slow burn with fewer characters and easily predictable outcomes. We are in 2022, and defining good and bad character since second one is not definitely a good idea. Even the good one, she is jumping into someone else's bed the moment she gets the opportunity to, setting the example of someone who could easily cheat and mislead then expect people to be okay with it. Besides that, the movie is flawed with some unrealistic scenes but still, it is watchable if you truly want to kill some time.

The acting is fine but the plot, the script and the twists are all rather disappointing. It tried too hard and had too many plot holes. Unfortunately it just made me cringe by the end. The twists were not very surprising apart from some in their silliness. I would like to be more charitable but I can't find any redeeming qualities to complete this review with applause.

Having said that, the settings were good with some grandiose locations.

Maybe if the plot had been tweaked a little to make everything more credible (I won't give examples to avoid giving away any aspects of the story) then I might have been able to give it a better score.

British thriller film produced in 2022. The film is about a woman who married an unstable but very rich man and tries to get rid of him. The man really wrote the book of repugnance. It's like a made-for-TV movie. Acting is very unprofessional. The script is very familiar. The worst part is that the mind of the viewer is being mocked. I'm sure the IMDB rating will drop as you watch. The best thing in the movie is the leading actress. I do not recommend the movie. For better ones, my suggestion would be "Unfaithful" and "Before I Go To Sleep".

There are no nudity or sexually explicit scenes in the movie.

Samantha Lee Howe wrote the book the movie is based from which has the same name along with the screenplay apparently even though she is not credited for it.

The writer specialty is Thrillers and claims it is based from a true story which I am still trying to find out what actual story. Either way it hit a nerve especially with women.

It did have some twists that I did not expect along the way and who doesn't like seeing the wealthy having to bicker?

Worth the read or the watch especially if you enjoyed the book.

I'm extremely keen on watching all kinds of movies in all genres, and at last count I've watched around 30,000 movies. The truth is that this one had a good premise, but surely the screenwriter "forgot" to give some pages to the director and he didn't notice. Or else the editor received an unfair salary and "murdered" the film in the Final Cut ( sorry for the infamous joke ) The "Hitchcockian" touches excited me at first, until I realized it was a cheap copycat that didn't see all of the Master's work from Suspense. The plot has dozens of loose ends, the main actress confuses "indifference" (which she showed in the film) with "I'm confused about what's going on". Don't waste time watching, run away!
