    Mother-in-Law Thriller

    Great story and adapted to screen with actors that use their craft to bring what could have been a dull story to life. The Susie Spacek look-alike actor does a phenomenal job depicting a mean, disabled mother-in-law that would love to see their son's cherished wife disappear. Of course the new wife would have a daughter + boyfriend who become Dick Tracy sleuths and make efforts to save the wife from her fate. Of course, veteran actress, Jackee Harry plays her traditional role and line, What happened here? Loved the house with the outdoor spiral staircase and surprise ending!!!! Great writers providing fans with good entertainment while drinking wine and popcorn (coffee and Danish).

    a masterpiece in modern physcological horror

    If you asked me what my favorite movie of the modern generation of movies, id say deceived by my mother in law. The plot and the writing make you feel like you were actually there witnessing the events unfold. The deception and mystery of it all make it one of the best. A true classic. If i had to choose between my dog and this movie i would choose this movie. Now of course it cannot compare to the cinematic masterpiece 'the lego movie' it is a close second. The sound design is also a great factor in this. Everytime a vase was broken or a scream was scrumt it was perfect. I love this movie with all my heart.

    A walker, spectacles, and dowdy clothing don't

    Make you old enough to be the mother of Rib Hillis lol. I'm watching the movie now and even though the title obviously tells us what's happening, I'm not buying it. I think a natural question for the wife to ask would be what age did she have James. Lifetime always skirts around normal reactions so I don't expect it to happen. Nothing new here, but it's watchable for a few hours. I do find it ridiculous that the daughter has to speak up to James about his "mother." Why the main character (can't remember her name) isn't standing up for herself is just typical Lifetime.

    A couple things: in typical Lifetime form yet again, this movie has a body count. How do these con artists expect to scam and stay under the radar if they're killing people? It makes no sense. Also, these shotgun marriages that happen all the time in these movies....why? Part of this scam is James loves his mother so much that he wants to take care of her...so the wife (still can't remember her name) knew nothing of her? I guess it's easy to get scammed in the real world, but for these movies, the lack of natural thinking, logic, and plain old self-preservation before the climax is just ridiculous.
