this showed up in one of those $5 horror movie sets you can get a wal- martit smacks of lifetime movie of the week, other than a couple of 'f' words here and theretotally vanilla horror/thriller. it's like a betty crocker cake mix version of a movie: 1. open with cursory detail-devoid back story 2. token scene to show villain started out normal, but was driven to kill by actions of others, who become the target 3. misdirected murder/suicide (why the wife and son???) 4. deus ex machina (contrived plot device) event to disable the culprit 5. materialize convenient opportunity for revenge 6. preposterous hiring/back ground checking 7. suspicious daughter, heightened by repeated gaffs from killer 8. love triangles 9. dramatic showdown where killer gets whats coming to her 10. everyone lives happily ever afterthe only thing missing was the false death where they think the killer is dead and then pops back up. but other than that this follows a tried and true recipe for 'generic thriller'. you'll forget everything about it 10 minutes laternext

1st watched 10/16/2011 – 3 out of 10(Dir-Rob Malenfant): Mediocre at best revenge flick that although premiered as a theatrical release comes across like a "B" television production with sub-par acting, bad editing including a left-in scene that made no sense, and is also predictable from the beginning to the end. The movie starts out as a man is being charged with embezzlement and being trashed by the local media. The company's boss and family are shown not intending for this to get out, but it does. Distraught, the man charged shoots his wife, child and himself. His daughter, played by Lisa Zane, gets wind of this at her place of work where she is a nurse and blames the company and the boss who let this out to the media. The boss, has a stroke, after he finds out from a reporter about the murderous man's actions and becomes paralyzed to the point where he can only hear what's going on but can't respond. The revengeful nurse then takes on the persona of a former employee, becomes his nurse, and plots to kill him and his entire family. Zane is kind of hammy in her role, but OK as the deviant nurse and the other actors are OK as well. But that's the problem with the entire movie, it's just OK. This obviously was meant for television but apparently was too rough, so they added a couple curse words to get the R rating and released it in the theatres. It was advertised on the DVD I watched as a horror movie, but it isn't a horror movie, and it's not very enjoyable either – so skip this one if at all possible.

This is a wickedly classic take on the "I'll get my revenge" type of movie that are my favorites. Lisa Zane was a hoot as the vengeful nurse and Janet Gunn was perfect as the daughter who never trusted her from the beginning and was aware every time the nurse slipped up with her lies. The added touch of having the man who suffered a stroke be able to hear and comprehend everything that the nurse planned to do to his family as payback and not be able to stop her and warn them made this movie more chilling.This movie was like a well-made Lifetime TV movie and I have always enjoyed the movies directed by Robert Malenfant and when I see his name on the credits I know it will be enjoyable and fun to watch.
