Twisted House Sitter

It felt like one of those "Lifetime" type TV movies, and there's nothing wrong with that if you know what to expect, and are OK with it, of which I was.

The story actually was interesting and believable from the start until towards the end, but then the nonsense, ridiculous and cringeworthy plot-hole scenes started towards the end. As if a small framed girl can overpower two men, one of them weighing probably three times more than her and easily one foot taller. It was just infantile and lazy writing, and it's odd there's no mention who the writer is. The terrible 15 minute ending alone was reason for my subtracting 2-3 stars off the rating. Yes, it's that bad compared to the rest of the film.

The cinematography and that gorgeous house setting was on point, but the score was loud and overbearing - typical of a low budget B-film. The casting and performances were decent, especially Crystal-Lee Naomi as Alicia, who only has 13 acting credits under her belt. But the much more experienced Jennifer Freeman as Morgan - with 31 acting credits, was awful right from the start. She was unconvincing, too aloof, and seemed like it was her first acting gig. Nevertheless, I did sit through the entire not-too-greatly paced 84 mins, and thus it's a generous 5/10 from me.
