Deadly Patient (III) (2018)
3/10
Just assume that the police will be useless in every respect

Warning: Spoilers
Why do I always have to switch off my brain every time I watch an Afternoon (TV) Movie? This one was no exception. The lead character is a doctor and one would expect such a person to be capable of logical thinking, but our Hillary ignores pretty much every hint that her patient is a total psycho. From the very start while he's still in the hospital bed and comes on to her, she should have heard warning bells. But apart from allowing a slight ripple of concern to upset her visage, she does nothing. Even as Mr Stalker continues to, er, stalk her blatantly, she just thinks he's a little crazy, but kinda harmless, really. He sends her mum flowers. He breaks in to Hillary and fiance's house and leaves a single red rose. Her friend is run over, then properly murdered later, as the perp realises he wasn't going fast enough. Dead people everywhere, yet her brain is working slower than treacle poured from a jar. As ever, the police detective is totally useless, even being unavailable at one point BECAUSE IT'S THE WEEKEND!

However, I watched it all the way through, because Bree Williamson is quite good and very easy on the eye as well. Her fiance, though, was a bit of a cold fish. I think she would have had a much more exciting future if she'd married Gregory instead. Never a dull moment!
