I like Lindsay H and I like Jason-Shane Scott. I wasn't a fan of Passions, but I watched OLTL and was a huge fan. They both have Lifetime acting and writing credits under their belts and from IMDb, I can see they are a writing duo. Which is cool. To not even check this person's background is just absurd. It's an overused plot device and defies all logic. Most importantly, it always gets 1-2 characters killed. At a minimum. I was an exchange student in high school and my parents hosted. It was quite the process through our school, so no random agency could just send kids over or into people's homes. Come on. Surely there was a better way to set this up. The gullibility of characters gets people killed. It's tiresome and a bit insulting if it's a case of the villain getting away in the end (waiting to see if that happens here). My point is that these two writer/actors even having control over the script are still doing the things that we get sick of. Not to mention it's very rare that Lifetime justifies how the villain latches on to their victims. In The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, there was no mistaking why Peyton wanted to ruin Claire's life specifically. Unless I missed it, I have yet to see how or why Rose/Chloe went through the trouble and latched on to a mom and daughter in another country. Come on. I made it to the villain monologue and it's not good enough.
I'm over people dying in these movies and no one caring. People die and the characters move on so fast. No one notifies the family. Although in this one it looks like one dead character has a family...wow that's a change from the usual, but another victim is glossed over. Speaking of victims, you have this huge house, a pool...someone gets murked on your property but no alarm system? No flood lights that sense someone in your backyard?
You know what you're getting with Lifetime, but sometimes it's just too ridiculous. Basically at least two (I've got an hour to go) people died because mom Samantha let a stranger live with her. A stranger who not only killed but also falsely accused a man of violating her. So wrong.
