Audience Member I thought this ended up being pretty good for a TV movie. It reminded me of the Hand That Rocks the Cradle. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Loved it.

ME iba COmo DurMIEndO Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member A sad, and shocking film. A woman in a shaky marriage becomes pregnant and loses her baby and her husband in a robbery. Now, unable to conceive and married again, she decides to find a live-in surrogate mother. Things start to go bad when she suspects an affair between the woman carrying her child and her husband. Things turn even worst when we find out that the woman has a deadly secret past. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Very Poor thriller, is completely predictable with odd dream sequences and poor performances by everyone except Tracy Nelson who is always good at getting inside a psycho's head. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member This was a good movie! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
