Eric Roberts is really, really good as this character. Creepy deepy doo. Not quite as good as the original but much better than average LMFC. There are unique thoughtful or funny elements that make this series a cut above most lifetime movies. One such element in this show was the TV sequence where the TV show is mirroring what is going on in the movie. That was classic!
I was thinking that they could make a series out of this, and I have found out they did! Looking forward to watching more. No faux pas to report, except when the doctor answers his fiance's phone, he is able to delete messages and send a text, having unrestricted access to the phone just from the phone ringing. That's not the way password protected phones work these days.
About my reviews: I do not offer a synopsis of the film/show -- you can get that anywhere and that does not constitute a meaningful review -- but rather my thoughts and feelings on the film that hopefully will be informative to you in deciding whether to invest 90-180 minutes of your life on it.
My scale: 1-5 decreasing degrees of "terrible", with 5 being "mediocre" 6- OK. Generally held my interest OR had reasonable cast and/or cinematography, might watch it again 7 - Good. My default rating for a movie I liked enough to watch again, but didn't rise to the upper echelons 8- Very Good. Would watch again and recommend to others 9- Outstanding. Would watch over and over; top 10% of my ratings 10 - A Classic. (Less than 2% receive this rating). For Lifetime Movies for Chicks (LMFC), drop the above scale by 3 notches. A 6 is excellent and 7 almost unattainable.
