To Kill a Stepfather (2023 TV Movie)
3/10
Felt like I was watching a really long crime show
31 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This whole movie felt like I was watching a really, really long episode of Law & Order: SVU, with the way it was executed. You can hardly even call it a thriller at all, more like a murder mystery film. I'm not really a fan of murder mystery movies anyways, and this one only cemented that opinion.

With that being said, this was a really boring flick even for Lifetime's standards. There was no thrills, no scares, the lead actresses voice was extremely annoying as was her personality, acting was subpar, the suspect's motives were weak, and the big reveal with Matthew's mistress and murderer being Sadie was meh (I started to suspect her near the end).

Also can we talk about the choice of actors here? I almost thought that the Nicole and Kate characters were supposed to be sisters, Kate looks like she's only 10 years apart from her daughter and Nicole looks like she's in her mid thirties. Nicole and her sister Riley looked more like mother and daughter. That threw me off.

Lastly, not sure if it was somebody else that I saw, but I could've sworn that the actress that played Sadie was in a laundry detergent commercial. Lol.

But yeah, I think it's safe to say that this movie was horrible and is definitely going on my list of worst LT films of this year.
