jrv1964 Review of Killer Mom

Killer Mom (2017 TV Movie)

Killer Mom - the ultimate narcissist who will stop at nothing to get what she wants

[7/10 · 16 April 2018]

I watched this mad for T.V movie from Lifetime and was impressed with it's entertainment value. Karen Cliche, who plays Jessica the estranged mother, is very attractive but is hell bent on getting hold of her daughter Allison's multi million dollar inheritance is one of the worst twisted narcissists and evil villains I have seen in a film. Cold, conniving and calculating she manipulates people and gets rid of those that stand in her way and what she wants in the true style of a dangerous malignant narcissist and Jessica soon becomes a character you love to hate. Sydni, played by actress Kirby Bliss Blanton, is the half sister of Allison is very street smart and does not trust Jessica from the outset and the movie becomes a showdown between her and Jessica in a battle of wits with plot twists and turns. Yes the movie is an age old story of people motivated by greed and who will do anything to get it but is a well played,. enjoyable thriller, not a bad effort for a t.v movie. Watching Jessica plan her schemes and the cold way she executes it, but at the same time putting on a pretend sweet side to her daughter Alison, is sickening but very convincingly played by Karen Cliche, put it this way I would not like to meet a person like 'Jessica" in a dark alley and be on her 'get rid off list". Some may say this is a second rate movie with a story that has been re-hashed many times over, but it is done in the modern way and is a good 2 hours worth of entertainment, rate it a 7 out 10. Don't under estimate a conniving, evil woman, they can be worse than bad guys!
