My good god this is an awful film. Of course the woman with the cancerous ovaries is ugly, and of course the doctor who nutered her is sexy and of course shes such a jealous ugly woman!

How dire can a film be and phew, what a crap subject.

Edit: Ahahahaha! I just watched the ugly nutered woman relaese some trolleys (shopping carts) at the pregnant doctor! It was so rirdiculous and unbelievable!

This is quickly becomming on of the most contrived atupid ridiculous films about paranoid women obsessed with pregnancy!

This is the most unlikely plot I have ever witnessed.

I have to agree. This is bad every way you look at it. Delta Burke is completely over the top and since when do doctors just sedate post-partum mums right and left these days? That's just stupid. And never mind how stupid this story makes nurses look.

Yeah that scene of the two of them figting in the boiler room takes the biscuit. Bizzarely there arn't any scathing reviews of it here

One for the bin - Please never show this again BBC! They have a cheeky habit of repeatingthese a couple of months down the line when thay think no-one will notice. One of the only other films I have seen that were as bad as this has to be http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0194543/ Primal Force (1999) starring Ron Pearlman. Totally different genre but same school of crap Nineties TV Movie.

Omg I know, I watched it when ti was on and I was so ahamed by the film! Omfg what is with the scene at the beggingish when the ugly woman breaks the cot? Thats the most retarded acting I have ever witnessed, also when she kills her husband!
Oh god, the acting in the entire filma s appauling, it was so obviously a C listed film opr even lower...like the budget.
I only even thought of watching it beause I thought maybe due to the plot it might be a good thriller and even because zelda spellman is in it! :)
Hehehe I totally love/d Sabrina and I liked her too :D
No offence but why the hell was the pyscho lady so damn ugly!?!?!

Ohhh also just thought on, isn't this film rather similarish to The Hand That Rocks The Cradle? i am not saying it is totally the same but it just seem like such an overacted ridiculous take on the same sort of idea....hehehe I'm just pondering that so don't yell if you don't think the same..:S

P.s. THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE IS THE HAND THAT RULES THE WORLD! Love the quote and love the film :D

Pippin's gonna rock this town alive!

I think you're taking it way too seriously. Of course it was really bad, but it was so over-the-top, it was fun to watch. It was a Lifetime movie! It was supposed to be that way lol.
