Others have addressed the lead's not very good acting, but aside from that, why stay somewhere you clearly aren't welcomed? Who cares what Aunt Grace said? She and her husband were clearly have issues, so who would stay there in the midst of all that? With Grace not there? I could almost believe if AG was there, that Maddie would be more inclined to stay. She doesn't consider Paul her uncle. I think Paul even flat out stated he wasn't happy about her moving in. At a minimum, his demeanor towards her indicated it. How many incidents have to scare the crap out of you before you decide it's not worth it?! The blood in the plumbing would have done it for me and any other person with common sense.
I eventually said life was too short and turned the movie off. On top of the sketch acting, it just wasn't an entertaining movie. I ended up reading a summary and read that her two friends (her bff and the new boyfriend) died, and that just made me less interested. So far, I think the only decent movie in 2023 Lifetime is Spinning Out of Control.
P. S. May we PLEASE get new character names? No more Maddies, Emmas/Gemmas, Jacks, Haleys, Kats, Alexes, Nicoles, Brians, etc ad nauseum? I realize these are simple names that are easy to remember, but there are so many more. In fact, I just checked (I had a deja vu moment) and two of the 2023 movies had "Maddie" as the main characters' name. In the same month. Reminds me of a few years back when every other female character was named Zoe or Chloe. Just a pet peeve of mine since I use these movies as background noise for wfh. There are literally thousands upon thousands of other one or two syllable names that can be used.
