The latest Lifetime thriller from director David DeCoteau (Tall, Dark, and Dangerous), Million Dollar Lethal Listing, is a topical look at the dangerous financial implications of home ownership, unequal incomes, and trusting your partner.

Lifetime’s latest thriller drops viewers into the action right from the jump. Under desaturated grey/blue skies, introverted lawyer Mel (Lindsey Desbach) rides a ferry to Feng Key island.

February 29, 2024 Joe Lipsett Alexandria Ponce, Brenna Skalski, Bryan Lucas, David Hurt, Ian Reier Michaels, Kaila York, lifetime, Movies, Reviews

It’s always interesting when horror films and thrillers market themselves using the “Based on true events” tagline, then dissect – or sometimes even criticize – the audiences’ interest in the material. Lifetime’s new original film Lonely Crime Fanatic opens with the cliché phrase before launching into the story of a recently separated woman who falls […]

‘She’s Obsessed with My Husband’ Is a Perfect Lifetime Film [Review]

February 15, 2024 Joe Lipsett Alissa Filoramo, Andrew Ghai, Arye Campos, David Chester, Doug Campbell, Julia A. Harris, lifetime, Matt Pholkamp, Movies, Reviews, Taylor Castro, Zach De Nardi

Lifetime’s interest in stalking this month continues with screenwriter David Chester’s bonkers She’s Obsessed with My Husband. Directed by Doug Campbell with a lurid, campy touch, the film is a delightful romp that only falters when it focuses too much on its least interesting character in the third act. Aside from that misstep, however, this […]

Lifetime Thriller ‘Tall, Dark, and Dangerous’ Is a Decent Valentine’s Day-Themed Stalker Story [Review]

February 8, 2024 Joe Lipsett Adam Rockoff, Alana Walker, David DeCoteau, Eric Roberts, Jackée Harry, Jamie Bernadette, lifetime, Matthew Pohlkamp, Michael Pare, Movies, Reviews, Stalker, Tom Sandoval, Tracy Nelson

Lifetime films traffic in a certain kind of narrative, namely infidelity, deception, dark romance, and occasionally murder. Tall, Dark, and Dangerous tackles at least three of these qualities, which is appropriate given the film is set partially around Valentine’s Day, a holiday ripe for sensational, slightly ridiculous narratives. Following an underwhelming opening sequence in which […]
