6/10
Much better than expected

Due to the first review of this movie...I very nearly passed on watching it....but boy am I glad that I went for it anyway...Jamie Kennedy knocks it out of the park with his role in this, playing the part of a creepy villain brilliantly, I haven't seen him in too much since the 'Scream' movies (which I also loved him in) but he aced his part in this flick. The lines were occasionally cheesy, but other than that I thought this storyline carried itself pretty well....kept me gripped anyway! I am familiar with Marlee Matlin from Switched at Birth, her acting skills are pretty solid and believable, however, I'm not so sure I can say the same about Christina DeRosa, some of the time her acting skills felt forced. James Denton's character was more believable. The storyline itself on a whole was good (though it confuses me how a post-mortem/autopsy on the murdered Neighbor, wouldn't show signs of foul play/being electrocuted?? And how the Police don't seem to make much of an effort in finding the Lawyer that goes missing...they ask a couple of questions and then that's it :/ but...I guess they can only fit so much into the scripts/storyline) and interesting (albeit a few cracks) enough to make you keep watching, but it was very obvious from the start that Jamie Kennedy's role was what carried this whole picture, he looked creepy, sounded creepy...gave a very creepy atmosphere whenever he was around, I am impressed that he can both play the part of an adorable goofy dork in Scream...and then go a whole opposite to playing some creepy psycho weirdo...who's very essence on the screen can make you cringe. Very well played!

I would give this movie a 7/10 however, I do think the quality of the movie...is pretty much made for TV, a good made for TV movie though.

Definitely worth a watch
