Interesting but also an annoying movie! (Spoilers!!!)


I love my Lifetime movies but this one, I wanted to pull my hair out at the sheer stupidity of the three women (the wife, sister & best friend.)

The story itself was actually interesting and the killer husband was interesting too but the women, I just did not understand them. The wife; I just saw so many ways she could have played it differently to get away and yet she did it in such a way that she was bound to get caught each time.

Then the best friend comes to the house, the husband told her to go away and blocked the stair case, instead of a light bulb going off inside her head, like jee, I might be alone in the house with this man, who's not letting me go upstairs to see my friend and is acting crazy,let me leave and come back with the cops? Nope, the idiot tries to push him out of the way and gets stabbed for her stupidity!

Then the wife's sister comes to the house to tell her what a psycho he is: there is her sister giving her this "desperate, something is wrong, leave and go get help" look, the husband looking like a crazed maniac and instead of the idiotic sister getting the hint and leave and go get help, the idiot proceeds to tell her sister right in front of the killer husband how he is crazy and how he might have drove his first wife to kill herself...yeah, that's smart, let's call him names when he might have been responsible for the death of his first wife, Jeez!

Don't get me wrong, the movie was interesting but I for once found myself on the killer husbands side, hoping he would off these three idiots!

Hey sunsetembrace,

I know what you mean. This illogical behavior is in almost every film now. It seems to be the easiest or only way they can create suspence long enough to male a 90 minute movie.

It is 2004, this film expects us to believe that the wife did not have email. She's typing away on the computer, (her own computer, as the husband has his own) and yet she must have that phone, it's the only way to reach the outside world in the dark ages of '04!




Any man that don't want to get killed better clear out on back.

I agree with you. The crutches thing really did this movie in. She's running for her life (not literally because her leg is broken) but you get the idea. She wastes so much time trying to haul around her stupid crutches. Just crawl!!! Crawl away!! Or hop on one foot. Don't waste time with the crutches!!! And then when he hunts her down the the road she has to make sure she throws the crutches in the woods before she can jump down. Um hello!!!! Get the hell out of the road!!! Forget the stupid crutches. I'm sorry but that killed any sympathy I had for her.
