Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Talk about holding a grudge. A psycho holds a doctor responsible for introducing his wife to a man who becomes her business partner, and thinking that they're having an affair, he arranges to have them both shot to death, following his killing of the guy he hired to kill.That's not exactly the end either. He takes out revenge on the doctor by exposing a story that the mayor, being treated by the latter, and facing reelection, has had cancer come back. As if this isn't enough, he finds that he is falling for the doctor's wife so he sets upon destroying their marriage.While this seems too unbelievable to fathom, it is done quite well with a great cast along the way.Of course, we don't know what happened to the mayor, but his owner partner's investigating as well as what he has been doing to the doctor and his wife are all exposed.

As usual LMN films, the female species is quite annoying, snoopy, doubting and totally boring. This one, played by overweight Chandra West, became so annoying with her snooping into people's lives I wanted to slap her. She also tries to steal the children from her best friend. Then we have Nicholas Brendon who plays a delightful villain in this. You root for him because he seems to be more human and natural in the role. And the lady's husband has to deal with her selfishness. Played well by Vincent Ventresca.I did not like this movie because of the leading lady. She was terrible. The slap she gives Brandon at the end should be aimed at her.

Most of the time a TV movie is either really really bad or really really good, this one fit's in the really really good category. The entire cast is incredible but the true star of the movie (And deservedly so) is Nicholas Brendon playing the sociopathic role of Brent. It's a true change from what we're used to from Nicholas, people who know him expect a comedic lighthearted performance or possibly a bit of heroism (depending on what the movie is) but he takes this role of a sociopath and makes it incredibly scary.The roles of Jason and Casey (Played awesomely by Vincent Ventresca and Chandra West) round out the main cast as the neighbor's that Brent becomes obsessed with. They manage to make you really care about them and their innocence is a great comparison to the psychotic behavior of Brent.If you love a good corny little thriller then this is the film for you. If you love a good scare then this movie is what you need, and if you're a Buffy geek wanting to see Nicholas Brendon in the most terrifying role he's done then you must see this movie.

This is not Citizen Kane. This is a Lifetime Movie. The writing is geared toward the sensibilities of women of a certain age and station in life. If you can't accept the paradigm for what it is, you won't get far with this one.That being said, this movie entertained the hell out of me.Brent, played with brilliant, unselfconscious sociopathy by Nicholas Brendon, is both charming and menacing by turns as the the man obsessed. In a perfect marriage of script and actor, there are moments of both almost comical self-awareness as he narrates his intrusion into his neighbor's lives via spy cams.Chandra West, as Casey, is extremely engaging and sympathetic and has a natural chemistry with Nicholas Brendon that added terrifically to both his character's fantasy sequences and their more subtle interactions as well.Vincent Ventresca as the husband, Jason, did a remarkable job balancing the colder aspects of his character with understated, but obvious love for his family, as well as a certain amount of personal charm which justified and bolstered his place in the film's quasi-romantic triangle.The supporting cast was delightfully earnest in their delivery, which is nothing especially new for the Lifetime network, but a wonderfully familiar convention all the same.Without giving too much away, it is worth noting that there were several well placed and surprising twists in the story which took it one step beyond the conventional movie-of-the- week storytelling.In short, this was a great film, and well deserving of an evening in with an afghan and a box of girl scout cookies.
