Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Blistering performances.

That is one hour of my life I will never get back .no explanation of why she has an enforced vacation.or why her colleague calls her Doctor,why the neighbor kidnaps daughter and brings her to "what? and the weird faces and eyerolling by titus looking for Emily was right out of Tippie hedron in the birds,never mind why he discards a loaded gun and prefers to use a tool.

I only watched this because I like Richard Ruccolo, who plays the dad. The dude is capable of much more than the suburban husband role he's stuck in here (and in Rita Rocks, although that was enjoyable). At least he showed physical courage when it was called for; that was nice to see.I can't tell whether my response to the drawn out slow plot was, as likely intended, anxiety or, more likely, annoyance.The "nice" family's reactions to the new neighbors, once things start to get odder and odder, are completely non-credible. Bad script. People, even nice white people in the suburbs, don't let their niceness overcome their sense of danger when their only child is involved. Twas nice to see Mr Ruccolo, even here, but if he were not in the flick, I'd have turned it off after ten minutes.

I can't for the life of me figure out why I continued to watch this even after I knew for sure it was a waste of time. While I wouldn't actually say that it was ever going good, it wasn't all that bad for a little while. The female lead, I don't even remember her name was just so annoying! It seemed like she was looking for trouble most of the time, when there wasn't even any real reason to get so carried away. I hate characters who are just so convinced that that "know" something. Why did she keep allowing her daughter to play with Billy even when she was convinced the family was off? Billy as well as most of the characters were so one dimensional, I found myself unable to connect with or care about any of them, but the younger son just seemed to do things for no reason. The daughter would complain about him and go right back to playing with him with a smile on her face. I guess she didn't find his rough behavior all that odd, how many times did this girl have to get pushed? The whole scene with the guy stalking the house and then busting in and fighting with the husband was just stupid, the way the next scenes played out were even dumber. The detective was a total idiot, and the story was just awkward. Finally we learn that the older son is a nut bag, at this point I couldn't have cared one iota less. When he went from good guy to bad guy all we saw was a stupid sly grin on his face. That grin was so annoying. I wish everyone had been killed.

This review is full of spoilers, so if you don't want to read spoilers, stop now.Not all "Lifetime movies" are bad, but this one is a "perfect" example of why movies of this genre are often frustrating and annoying.Our heroine (Marguerite Moreau) holds a doctorate, but wanders alone into places she doesn't belong and into obviously dangerous situations, without backup.Her husband (Richard Ruccolo) remains in a precarious spot he could have easily escaped, even after the movie's whacko starts talking crazy.Even the detective goes looking for the perp unprotected. Doesn't he own a gun? The only mystery here is whether the killer is the mother (Abby Brammell) or the son. The mystery is gone in time for us to see the killer's final attempt.Good actors do their best, but are wasted on a script demanding illogical behavior.
