Not enough substance even for Lifetime
phd_travel29 May 2019
Warning: Spoilers
The story is straightforward to the point there isn't enough for a movie. It's a terrible idea to stay in a vacation rental with the host there so it's not surprising things go south quickly. A group of girlfriends does this in a modern house with a pool and always present host. They ignore warnings of the neighbor and the main character's suspicions. Rather abruptly he exposes his hand and takes them all hostage. Trafficking so many ladies with so many witnesses doesn't make much sense. Of course they dispatch him but it all seems lacking in cleverness or originality. Don't bother with this weak movie.

Unrealistic

A really odd plot, why would four young girls go away for a break and stay in a villa and the host also stayed in the villa? I found the plot really absurd.

Another great one!!

Another wonderful lifetime movie with beautiful women and stupid,obvious plot and the dumb as a box of hammers policeman. The policeman sure likes his bagels, what would happen if the criminal bribed him with something more valuable like steaks and lobsters. Also, the victims get to solve their own crimes against them which is common for these movies as well!! I didn't have anything else to do so I watched. The women were very pretty as well to watch!!

Four stupid women Warning: Spoilers
The red flags were going up all over the place with the sketchy host yet none of these women packed their bags and drove to the nearest Holiday Inn. They go to have breakfast at a restaurant and the host just happens to pop up and join them. My first question would've been "Are you following us?!" But none of these dim bulbs asked or even batted an eye about it.

Then later on when his motives are revealed, rather than the four of them rush and gang up on him to subdue him, they all scatter around the house in absolute terror lol. He's just a guy, not Superman. The four of them could've easily brought his skinny little body down in a flash. Just once i'd like to see these kinds of movies made with characters acting like real people and possessing IQs higher than a housefly.

As one contrbutor said four girls rent a holiday home with the host staying with them? And it is solely horny spoilt heiress sl-t Bridgitte's fault for renting the place and getting involved with killer/human trafficker James! Stupid plot!

Little House of Horrors
lavatch23 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The Four Amigas (Bridgette, Monica, Vicky, and Eliza) have planned a getaway in south Florida where they have rented a spectacular house. The unique living situation is with a "host" who is stays in residence, cooking and assisting the guests. Little do the four besties know what is in store for them with their host from hell named James.

"Fatal Getaway" (a.k.a., "Scare BNB") was successful due to the four actresses who devised excellent characters for the four besties. Eliza is the only one who has her antenna up for the out-of-the-ordinary actions of James. Perhaps the overly sensitive Eliza is guarded due to a recent rough break-up with her husband Steve.

Eliza begins to investigate the disappearance of other women at James's home. The clincher comes when the quick-thinking Eliza discovers that positive feedback has been left for James by multiple missing women who spelled the word favorite as "favourite." That tip is subsequently relayed to Officer Robertson, who has to be the most inept (or corrupt) policeman ever to grace the set of a Lifetime film. A sneaky moment at the very end of the film may suggest that Officer Robertson was receiving more than bagels from the nefarious James.

The Four Amigos came looking for a trip that they will never forget, and that is exactly what they received in the Little House of Horrors. Perhaps there will be a sequel that will reunite Bridgette, Monica, Vicky, and Eliza for another adventure in the Everglades in which they must pool their resources again to triumph over all adversity.

Tilky in top notch terrifying thriller
paulgibson-2980629 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
If you are a fan of the menacing former Take 5 crooner and thespian Tilky Jones, then this deeply disturbing thriller will delight and terrify you in equal measure.

Without giving too much of the plot away so as not to mar your enjoyment of this cinematic classic, beef hunk Tilky plays the part of a deranged owner of a holiday home at which several attractive young ladies arrive. Much murderous mayhem ensues throughout and the film climaxes with Tilky showing his true colours as a very nasty piece of work. Fortunately for all involved (except the thoroughly unlikeable Tilky), he gets his deserved comeuppance in the end and perishes in his own swimming pool.

Top notch acting by all the players only adds to the viewer's delictation and the film should act as a warning to attractive young ladies to avoid staying in the holiday homes of former beefcake boy band crooners.

Despite his untimely demise in his swimming pool, it would be nice to see a sequel to this cinematic triumph, in which Tilky invites more attractive young ladies to his house whilst conjuring up yet more murderous mayhem and a suitable title for such an anticipated film could be 'Tilky Take 2'

Thoroughly recommended!
