    Not The Worst Movie I've Seen

    The movie is okay, but the synopsis is not even close to what the movie is about. And i have no idea why it's called "Black Widow Killer"

    The daughter does not try and solve the crime, the mother does not go missing.

    What it really is about is someone from the past comes back for revenge on the people who fled the scene of an accident 25 years earlier.

    It's not horrible, but it's not great. Good way to pass a couple hours.

    Location of movie.

    This movie was filmed in Carleton Place, Ontario, CANADA. References are the Town Hall, old post office and Carleton Place High School.

    Noooooooo

    Please be warned that this film will minus some of your time.

    Awful acting and daft storyline.

    Why do this cheap matinees not use age appropriate actors? Why is someone in their mid twenty's playing a teen.

    Daft.

    Oh, it wasn't *that* bad!

    I'm not saying that it would 'set the River Thames on fire', but housebound(ish) as I am thanks to the 'underlying conditions', it helped to pass some time.

    One external viewer wrote that part of the problem is that most of the characters, good-guys and bad-guys are very hard to like or empathise with. This is true, apart from the 2 teenagers. I almost felt sorry for the villain until we were shown how they came by a new identity.

    Worth a watch on a rainy afternoon, during lock-down or self-isolation/ social distancing.

    Surprisingly Okay

    As far as Lifetime movies go, this was actually okay.
