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.

My biggest issue is the fact that the writers don't know the difference between a psychologist and psychiatrist. There IS a difference as to what each can and can't do. Psychiatrists don't provide therapy. They RX meds. In this story, the "doctor" does therapy and hypnosis and is against medication. It's ridiculous. I like the lead actress (she has been in other Lifetime movies) but the antagonist is not a good actress and has a rather odd look. The whole story is stupid and it's obvious who the bad guy is. Breaking into homes and attacking people in broad daylight and no one sees anything? There are no cameras? Most Lifetime movies are silly and this one is no different.

This movie looked good but I couldn't get through it. The lead actress, who plays Alyssa, is absolutely awful. Her acting isn't even good enough for community theater, let alone cable television. And not to be mean, but she is very unappealing. Casting her ruined what might have been a decent movie. Lifetime movies are a guilty pleasure but this one was a definite stinker. It is apparently based on true story. Maybe the real version is more interesting than the Lifetime version. Hopefully, when casting future movies, Lifetime will make an effort to hire better actors. As a side note, why does everyone in every Lifetime movie live in big beautiful homes, only drink wine and never lock their doors?
