Mother, May I Sleep with Danger?

This movie is about Tori Spelling who has had a lot of troubles in her life. She was anorexic, and is an obsessive runner. Then she meets this guy, who makes her feel special. Little does she know, he's actually an abusive, overprotective boyfriend who isn't afraid to resort to murder. The acting wasn't great, and the script wasn't exactly original. Spelling plays the dumb blonde who only in the end suspects something's up with her creepy beau. Out of 5 stars? 2 and a half. It was stupid, but it was a little entertaining, and put you on the edge of your seat.

With this movie, the girl-stalked-by-obsessive-boyfriend genre seem to be filled, together with _No One Would Tell (1996) (TV)_ (qv). It would have been interesting to know why Billy Jones acted the way he did, a deeper answer than that he is simply crazy. Tori Spelling does another one of her blonde-in-danger roles.

Mother, May I Sleep with Danger (1996) is a movie that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a controlling, abusive, murdering young man who struggles with the word "no" and his girlfriends not aligning to his visions for the relationship. He meets a young lady who doesn't have a lot of experience with boyfriends but appreciates a man who knows what he wants. When she meets the controlling, abusive young man, she doesn't understand what he truly means when he says they should be together forever, no matter what...

This picture is directed by Jorge Montesi (Omen IV: The Awakening) and stars Tori Spelling (Scary Movie 2), Ivan Sergei (Dangerous Minds), Lochlyn Munro (Scary Movie) and Lisa Banes (Gone Girl).

This feels like a made for television movie in terms of its cast, circumstances, dialogue and message. I will say the storyline and circumstances feel realistic, especially how when it's the relationship vs the parents moments. It's too bad the acting is so uneven. Ivan Sergei is absolutely awful and every lines and situation feels forced. Tori Spelling character you both for sorry for but also frustrated with for being so gullible. The thriller/horror elements are more miss that hit. The first kill scene is set up well but should have been better executed. The isolation aspects with the cabin are pretty well done. The ending is very predictable.

In conclusion, Mother, May I Sleep with Danger does have some good messages, but could have been better executed. I'd score it a 5/10 and only recommend it with the appropriate expectations.

Both Abe and I who are true film experts, and we have come to the consensus that this is the best work Tori has ever done. Hopefully she will be free to work on the sequels we are co-writing in the future: Mother may I sleep with Danger Part 2: Tandora's Box and Mother may I sleep with Danger Part 3: Like Booty for Chocolate. We hope to have them air on ABC next fall, so be on the look out. We give this 4 stars ****, because she proved that even someone like MARY could act....

I watched this movie today. Just as I was almost ready to find something of even mid-grade quality, this movie kept me watching it, primarily to see how much more ridiculous it would evolve.

Tori Spelling is undeniably unbelievable in every part of the movie. Ivan Sergei is a laugh at best. After about ten minutes into this film I looked at my friend and said, "You or I could seriously act as well as these two actors", and thats pretty painful since neither of us could act worth a lick.

Overall, the story was predictable from start to finish. The characters acted as robots. If you haven't seen this movie, SPARE YOURSELF! It's that bad.
