    Steve Nosetter

    Just saw this movie on LMN. The horrible acting from Steve really brought this movie to a crashing halt. Someone may want to let him know he should stick to standup. Acting is not in his deck right now. The bad acting made him stick out like a sore thumb.

    Lastly, wish Jodie was in the movie longer than she was. She is a fantastic actress who shines in almost everything she does all the way back to when she was in full house.

    The rest of the cast was ok. That made the movie believable but through no fault of their own, when Steve enters the scene, it just ruins it. Even XXX actors are more believable.

    Overall, OK movie, typical Lifetime Movie Network drama. Bravo! (Except Steve)

    More than I expected

    This first thing to know is this was a low budget film and was independently created. That said, it was very entertaining and I jumped more than once. Yes there were bits of gaps but considering the construct of the project I was impressed. The story line wasn't bad at all. Kudos to the whole team!

    Handyman from hell was a fun take on revenge in suburbia. Watching the film premiere with cast and crew on zoom offered the insider's perspective and filled in a couple gaps. They did a great job and I can't wait for the promised sequel because they learned a lot I'm sure and it's only going to get better from here!

    The two noses shall meet.

    My gosh, how could they put two actors that have Cyrano de Bergerac syndrome be put together as lead actors???? This whole miscasting is another typical flaw in Lifetime movies. I was "basically" watching this movie cross eyed. And why even have Jodie Sweetin in this movie playing another clueless woman in a Lifetime movie?? This movie brings nothing to TV except a cheap way to make a buck. The whole premis was meaningless. Just a waste of time for everyone who watched this hot mess. I'm glad I record these movies. It only takes me 45 min. To get through them. All I say to anyone who watches this is RECORD?

    A Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde romantic - psychological thriller role by Joey Ariemma

    Seeing that this was a Lifetime independent film, I was hesitant to watch it, but it is the Halloween season and I wanted to watch a thriller movie. Jodie Sweetin (Full House & Just Swipe fame) started the first scene and I wish she had more time in the movie, but lover turned psycho killer, Nate (Joey Ariemma), ends her role early. Nate is clearly the star in this thriller as he turns on his charm to win over Maggie as her handyman, lover, then killer. Joey Ariemma's ability to switch between the pretty boy to psycho man is what made this movie so good. Other actors that made it worth the watch were funny man Vic Dibitetto, sexy Kristina Horan, and David Santiago. While Maggie (Lilianan Tandon) played co-star, her brother Michael (Steve Hofstetter) kind of dragged the movie down just a little bit with some dry acting and cheesy scenes. Nevertheless, the "thriller" of Nate kept the movie roller coaster ride on track! While not a Michael Myers (Halloween) horror movie, this served me well with a side of romance. Definitely worth a watch.

    Bad Acting

    The lead actress was good but the actor who played the killer was horrible. "Chewed the scenery," as they say. He was supposed to be the "hot and sexy" guy but he was not attractive (sorry to be rude, but his nose was distracting) and too young. He completely overacted. It was comical, not scary. I have no idea what she would see in him. It was ridiculous, although most Lifetime movies are. The other actors were fine. He brother didn't really seem like he brother and they didn't resemble each other in the least. His girlfriend was a bit too much. The husband's acting was understated. The movie was not the worst but definitely not the best.
