everything you have heard about this movie is true.

A Masterpiece!

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

This is an average psycho thriller. A pretty psycho woman targets a recently separated father. The cast is fairly likable and the lead actress is pretty and quite effective. The story could have been flushed out a bit more. Mainly some more explanation for the wackoness. Usually Lifetime reveals some reason or history for the villain's actions. Here it seems glossed over. It seemed rather dumb that the mother appeared without any weapon at the end. About average for the "wrong --" series of television movies.

The acting is good but the picture is done in by a very weird story line. It's the same thing of someone entering the lives of a family and causing complete havoc. In this instance, the parents have separated which has effected their teen daughter. Don't you think the dad seemed too young to have a 16 year old daughter?The woman showing up is a complete lunatic with quite a past and the family soon realizes it. The bodies of others start to pile up as this vixen goes completely berserk.By the end, this monster woman is causing major problems in the psychiatric institution she has been placed in. Not plausible to believe all this.

What really astounded me was that at the end when Jamie managed to overpower a (new) staff member at the mental facility and fool the doctor into believing she was the orderly and Jennifer (played by Tonya Kay,but Jen's name is not mentioned in the movie.) Jennifer tries to plead with the doctor that she is not the patient, but he insists that she be taken to a padded room, to which a smug Jamie happily obliges. To me this ending was unrealistic and anti-climatic. But there is one question that's bugged me since I first saw this movie; how did Jamie knock Jennifer out and take her clothes? Did she sedate her or something? She was proved to be dangerous and so should have been restrained. Maybe I'm just reading too much into it. All in all, clichés aside, it was an okay movie, I just feel sorry for Jen taking Jamie's place in the nut hut.

Maybe I'm old fashioned but when I see a film advertised with a star I like to see the star in that film. So I was attracted to the film because of Michael Madsen, this generations' Robert Mitchum. His breakout role in "Reservoir Dogs" (1992) was followed by "The Getaway" (1994), "Wyatt Earp" (1994), "Species" (1995), "Frankie the Fly" (1996), and then the two "Kill Bill" films. Madsen shows up once in the first hour, with about 5 lines. He plays a swim coach. In the next hour he shows up a few more times and has a few more lines.So if you're like me an attracted to the film because Madsen is the star, avoid this film. Even if you're not interested in Madsen, the film can be avoided
