I don't know how they were able to pass this movie off as a thriller. It was more a comedic film than anything. Kind of like 2015's A Deadly Adoption with Will Ferrell and Kristen Wig, which was way better in my opinion.
As soon as Jodie Sweetin's character was killed off at the beginning I started to lose interest. From what I saw in the trailer I really hoped that she would be a supporting character or something like that. It's not everyday that you see an actor/actress as well known as her in a Lifetime films that's not Christmas themed or Ripped From the Headlines.
The story dragged for far too long (I think there was even a part of the movie in between advertisement breaks where it was just the lead and the bad guy talking to each other), and there were more holes than on a block of Swiss cheese. For example how did Maggie not notice the framed photo missing from her room? After all, it was her house. Kind of implausible that a missing picture frame would go unnoticed for that long. Come on Lifetime! Ending was super disappointing too, (What's with Lifetime and incredibly weak endings?).
Even with those issues, the movie actually wasn't that bad. I did like the comic relief, and the few jokes here and there. My favorite part was definitely the zoom meeting interviews. I think that was when the viewers realized that it was aiming to be more of a comedy and less a thriller/drama.
