Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

I was able to see this movie for the first time not to long ago. I like the movie it was full of suspense even though it was a little easy to figure out what would happen next. Bianca Lawson is one of my favorite actresses, I grew up watching her. I thought her her acting in this movie was one of the best acting I have ever see seen her do. The guy who played her ex husband was good also. The plot of the movie reminds me of another story that happened here in my city. A couple got a divorce and everything that happened in the house of secrets happened to this couple, the only thing that was different is that the movie ended differently then the real life case. Do anyone know where this movie was filmed?

I thought the movie was OK. Julie was a bit slow, if you ask me. I don't think I would ever be able to go to sleep if I knew one of my doors kept popping open. So many of the things she did in the movie were just mind-boggling. It's hard to believe anybody could be that dim, and she seemed a little spaced out.There was the one review that mentioned the interracial aspect and the fact that Julie didn't have any black people in her life. I really don't see what that has to do with anything. Sometimes they will cast a movie based on who they liked for the role, and if a black person gets it, they are not going to cast friend and boyfriend roles with the same race just so the character can know some black people. I am also sure that there are plenty of black people out there who may not know any black people outside of their family, does it really matter when you're talking about a low-budget Lifetime movie?Bianca has always had the same acting style in everything I have seen her in since the 1990's, at least she's consistent.

May have been good in a half hour show, but way too little plot and too long of time. Things that would never happen, doesn't make sense stuff. For example the woman can get into an attic with a three rung step stool yet it looks like she just walks right up? Fancy expensive house with melamine shelving and no security system. The woman gets freaked out and still stays day after day. Just dumb. I could guess what was coming next, classic events. The best part of the movie was I didn't have to pay too much attention since it was so drug out. I could surf on my netbook and get up and do housework. My advice is if there is nothing else on, go ahead and watch it and read a book at the same time.

If anyone didn't want to make a decent thriller, this is a good way not to do it. Poor Bianca Lawson, recently divorced from a sadistic husband, has moved into this minor-league mansion and since the decorator/electrician seems to have quit in the middle of the job, she allows her young neighbor, Brendan Fehr, to come in and work on the wiring.But something is amiss. Someone -- somehow -- is beginning to visit her house when she's asleep, leaving tell-tale signs. They grow more ominous. And whoever it is also seems to know what she's doing at home every minute of the day and night. So far, it sounds like another TV movie, "Through the Eyes of a Killer," but it also lifts shots or scenes from "Psycho" and other productions too numerous to name.It's a woman-in-jep movie. The threat may come from her ex spouse, from the helpful young neighbor who is described as the perfect love interest because he's "handy and ultra-handsome." As usual in these tales, the police take her seriously but are mostly dismissive. Girls living alone imagine all kinds of things, you know.The plot has more holes than a sieve but is far less interesting. Lawson has the usual female confidante, but we know from the moment we meet her that she's going to wind up friend a l'orange. (Viz., "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle.") There are a few times when the plot runs down and has to be wound up like an ancient gramophone. So Lawson make a false move in the attic and her body falls through the ceiling and she's handing on only by the tip of one fingernail. Or a dead body tumbles out of nowhere.Lawson herself is cute in a Kewpie doll sort of way, with neotenous features that start with a wide forehead, encompass great big brown eyes that roll closed when you lie her on her back, and a tiny chin, like a child's. She's all woman though, and when she crawls around the attic in her tight slacks she puts a good deal of bilateral symmetry on display. It's a shame she can't act.
