The director of this movie made the original Stepfather - which is among one of the great horror films of the 80s. When I saw this movie it had been renamed to "Blindsided" and was on the Lifetime Network. Indeed - it does very much feel like a slightly better than made-for-TV movie.
All of the performances are good - but the main problem lies in the script. It just doesn't have that much originality going for it. This seems to be one of those movie that a producer thought "hey if we shoot all in one location" it'll be cheap. Well, if you shoot all in one location, stuff still needs to happen, and unfortunately not much does.
That said, this isn't a bad movie but is the type of movie you don't have to concentrate hard on. The ending was very sharp and seemed quickly cut off as if they had run out of money for the shoot. I give a 7/10 because of good acting and direction.
