3/10
Cornier than usual...

Warning: Spoilers
Olivia has broken up with her boyfriend and ditched grad school. She moves back with her parents, in an older mansion. Her father, some sort of financial advisor/investor, dies when someone leaves the shower running so he slips on the wet floor and hits his head.

Seems like Dear Dad was pocketing people's money rather than investing.

Olivia's mom thinks their house is haunted and wants to leave, but Olivia isn't having it. Eventually the mom gets scared by an arm trying to grab her and falls down the stairs. She's alive but needs PT. She also still wants to get out of the house, but Olivia says no again.

Luckily Olivia hits a guy with her car, and surprise, turns out he is a physical therapist! And a red herring! Enter, Alice, as well, their neighbor and friend of the mom's. She has a bad feeling about the therapist!

The movie moves along with typical Lifetime scenarios inc the nice neighbor getting murdered and the protagonist acting excessively dumb. Olivia gets attacked in the house multiple times herself, but despite advice by the detective and mom, still refuses to leave the house!

The movie ends in typical Lifetime fashion as well, with a chase around the kitchen/house and a blow to the baddie's head! But who is it? Probably the weakest part of the movie.

3 stars for a few Lifetime/MarVista regulars and it does go by quickly. Not the most awful offering, but not very good.
