Pretty good lifetime TV movie
kyleallencole95 December 2018
Dina Meyer was wicked fun in this one!! Definitely showed her deranged side when they show her commit murders and she has a pet rattlesnake. This film definitely shows how ones messed up childhood affects them as adults. Also this lifetime film turns up the heat with its frequent sexual scenes between Dina Meyer and Corin Nemec. The psycho doctor in this sets her sights on a pregnant couple. She even puts a hidden camera in a blue tooth sound system she gives them so she can watch them at all times.
Should be called Sexual Doctor

There were some unexpected moments and the evil doctor, Natalie, certainly played it well. However, the husband character I hated. It portrayed sex starved married men as weak. He didn't have a nagging wife or any weak excuse to cheat, she was innocent and undeserving of his cheating. What was he expecting, a one night stand to not complicate his life after that? He deserved the frustration.
Making the doctor lesbian after that was clever but jeez we already sat through some very sexual situations and they just piled it on.

Dine Meyer Plays Wicked Good

THE DOCTOR IS OUT - OF HER MIND!
Evil Doctor aka Snatched (2018). Dr. Natalie Barnes (Dina Meyer - Lethal Seduction, The Magicians) is an OBGYN in the Los Angeles area. Her new patients are Matt (Coric Nemec, Parker Lewis Can't Lose, Supernatural) and his wife Aubrey Lewis (Jen Lilley - Twin Betrayal, Days of Our Lives) are expecting a child and she was recommended by one of Matt's co-workers. Matt first meets Dr. Barnes in the lobby, unaware she's his wife's new doctor. They exchange hello's very briefly. It's in the examining room that Dr. Barnes tells Matt they he reminds her of someone she knows...her father.
NATALIE'S BACKGROUND
Natalie, who was named Cara, was kidnapped from a hospital in 1975 by a lady and her boyfriend. Eight years later she is found and returned to her biological parents. Her kidnapped father really loved Cara (she was Cara with the kidnappers) and called her is Princess. Natalie's biological father called her Princess as well, but it was right before he would molester her every night. The mother would turn a blind eye to everything and did nothing to help Natalie.
I SEE YOU
It's not long after the first meeting that Natalie begins to have her sights set on Matt. She methodically plans all her moves in which one causes Aubrey to bleed after she and Matt have sex. Thinking she might be having a miscarriage, they go see Dr. Nutcase, I mean Barnes, who tells them that Aubrey needs to be on bed rest for the rest of the pregnancy, which means she's out of commission for five months. Dr. Barnes also informs them they can't have sex and "no orgasms of any kind". Not only does this keep Matt and Aubrey apart, but makes Matt more vulnerable to Dr. Barnes advances, to which he refuses, for a while at least.
FINAL THOUGHTS
The flow of the movie was perfect. The transition from one scene to another fit perfectly. I've witnessed movies, and yes on Lifetime Movie Network, in which scene seemed out of place. Almost like they were an afterthought, either while filming or in the editing room.
The acting was on spot by all involved. I became of fan of Dina Meyer after watching her in Truth and Lies (2014), another Lifetime Movie Network movie in which she played a detective whose daughter is getting threatening message to expose her secrets and the secrets of her friends. I also became a fan of Jen Lilley after seeing her in Twin Betray. You can read my review of Twin Betray on my blog.
And my other favorite actress, I've recently discovers is Lindsay Hartley (All My Children, Passions, Days of Our Lives). And to get all three of them in this movie was perfect for me. Then add Coric Nemec to the mix, made the movie even better. I grew up watching Coric and remember a very short lived show he starred in 1989 in called What's Alan Watching which lasted one season, if that. I remember how quirky it was. He would later star in another show called Parker Lewis Can't Lose, which lasted three seasons (1990-1993).
The reason for the rating is there were some really bizarre scenes in the movie that I found a bit odd, and that's saying a lot. I pride myself on welcoming the bizarre, but even these scenes were a bit much. However, this is what made the movie that more enjoyable and definitely stand out from the pact.

"Evil Doctor" (a.k.a., "Snatched") is an outrageous dark comedy about the gynecologist Dr. Natalie Barnson, a damaged soul if there ever was one.
At birth, little Natalie has been stolen from a hospital by a couple who was unable to produce a child. She was raised for eight years in a trailer, where she bonded with her criminal father who adored her. But at age eight, the kidnappers were discovered, the father she idolized put a bullet in his head, and she was returned to her birth parents. It turned out that Natalie would have had a better life in the trailer park as her "new" father, Frank, was a nefarious creature who abused Natalie for a decade.
Now as a practitioner in the art of "giving life," Dr. Barson decides that she wants her own baby. Unable to conceive, she sets her sights on the couple Matt and Aubrey Lewis. Aubrey is pregnant and Matt resembles her beloved trailer dad. The film is about the devious manipulation and scheming of Dr. Barnson.
As performed by a scene-chewing Dina Meyer, Dr. Barnson is quite the seductress. She has no trouble bagging Matt, the producer of the popular TV sitcom series called "Family Phun." But it is no fun for Matt once he realizes that Dr. Barnson is a sociopath. The good doctor proceeds to flirt with a very pregnant Aubrey, then start an affair with Matt's co-worker, Vicky Dolan, who meets her end in the bathtub in Dr. Barnson's home. The bathtub was also the site where Dr. Barnson eliminated her birth mother, who had becom an inconvenience.
The filmmakers were successful in weaving into the narrative a limited number of flashback scenes, which told the story of the young Natalie Barnson. The characters were interesting and the dialogue was crisp. The close-ups on Dr. Barnson were effective in conveying her slick method of operation to wreak havoc on multiple lives. She does a lot a damage, but there was a certain levity that made the character portrayal of Dr. Natalie Barnson a tour de force in the art of creating a tornado in the form of a tortured human soul.
