Typical Lifetime fare. Watching it in the background while I work, and like most Lifetime movies, I have a low grade pit in my stomach for the movie's duration. Kind of a "don't go in the basement!" low grade stress.
Only in this case, I wasn't stressed at all by the evil sister in law murderess.
No, my blood pressure was highest every time the horrid neighbor ladies hustled out to the curb with their tut-tuts. Loud music! Loungewear during the day! Recycling bin still out! Missing kid! There was no issue, big or small, that these hags couldn't get their Lilly Pulitzer undies in a wad over. You could have literally removed the murder plot, and just had typical neighbor stuff happening (left the trash can out, security alarm unintentionally set off, etc) and the movie would have been just as stressful. Then the protagonist could have snapped and murdered the neighbors. Would have been just as watchable.
