As well as Suspicion, it could have actually been a decent thriller. There's no slow build to anything and things become more of a mess as it progresses.

The main character/wife Sara allegedly changed the alarm code, but somehow the villain is able to get in undetected and commit murder. How? It's never explained. The villain is also able to get in her personal space and some others completely undetected. The villain also is able to lay in her bed while she's sleeping like a log. You have no idea where XXX is, you have strangers in your house, yet you are sleeping that hard? The person murdered was "famous" in their city, and yet no reporters, no police camped outside the house...and the "suspect," is allowed to go 30 miles away to a cabin. Huh? Lol

Another gripe I have with Lifetime is the body count. They don't always justify how or why these psychos (male and female) feel the need to kill. This particular villain somehow only has one victim to start and yet allowed his similar victims to be unscathed...until now. He just piles them up in quick succession. WHY? It's like they just piece together scripts and don't have someone be the "audience," to help with logic and continuity.

And of course it's Lifetime so the main inappropriately hooks up with her colleague, who yeah she has tension with but seriously? Your husband sucks but you are still married. Outside of a love scene that maybe didn't belong, the colleague didn't serve a purpose being there since he got hurt and didn't help at all. AND THEN (as I just saw) the villain somehow keeps getting in more places with alarms undetected! Do they call the cops? Of course not.

I'm a little under the half hour remaining mark, and a couple of characters are literally arguing about the villain as if it's just a matter of two-timing. Good grief! Oh my gosh, now they're all playing dress up in NEW clothes like this is a game. Is XXX dangerous or not? This movie is getting more ridiculous. I like how a gun is available in the climax and yet when three vulnerable women were alone (where one of them was murdered), nobody thought they needed protection. Like come on!

Now I'm cracking up! They all hide from XXX and one of their hands are poking from under a table and XXX finds her. How can a person being strangled also take a freakin dainty chain and strangle the person strangling her enough to kill them? Lol! Is this a parody? This movie is embarrassing.
