The Wrong Neighbor

This is an average psycho thriller. A pretty psycho woman targets a recently separated father. The cast is fairly likable and the lead actress is pretty and quite effective. The story could have been flushed out a bit more. Mainly some more explanation for the wackoness. Usually Lifetime reveals some reason or history for the villain's actions. Here it seems glossed over. It seemed rather dumb that the mother appeared without any weapon at the end. About average for the "wrong --" series of television movies.

I can't believe I watched this. I guess I did because it's like watching a comedy and the terrible acting just kept me laughing.

All I can say about this film, is there must be a factory in America that churns films out at an alarming rate. Only plus factor, is there were two British actors in the film, but they added nothing to the production.

As film fodder goes this is pretty diabolical from an acting and directorial perspective. How some of the 'actors' ever got the job is one of life's mysteries as you wouldn't see anything more wooden even if you studied an IKEA wardrobe. Characters were almost laughably stiff delivering excruciating well worn tropes. I only gave this calamity any stars at all for the unintended laughter it induced and for the goofy finale.

Interesting concept that could in theory happen to anyone. Stalking is scary. This isn't Oscar material but the crazy lady is really convincing. Got me wondering if she really is a nut or a great actress. Probably the latter. :)
