It's fun to watch a movie with an evil child. Although I wish they gave more of a reason to why she had her psychotic tendencies. The scene with the dad in the bedroom was well done. It had a few other moments that were entertaining too. And what was the reason they had the husband in Estonia? Overall it's mildly fun to watch but don't expect perfection.

Most Lifetime movies have terrible acting, writing, and directing. This one has decent acting and directing. Still nothing amazing, but the main 2 actors are occasionally convincing, and the cinematography isn't the cookie cutter shots and lighting that bad TV usually has. Some parts of the script are good (a Lifetime movie where the therapist gives an accurate diagnosis is certainly rare) but other aspects are poor, like a short fall hurting someone way more than it should have.

Found it hard to believe that a child can do all these whilst grown folks take it. Yeah, right!!

This movie is a couple of notches above the spate of other "devious child" movies from Lifetime.

The child star Katie frankly drives the whole movie, and she is very talented at it. Rather than the cheesy whiny stop-blaming-me-for-everything girl, this girl is far more cunning, devious, and manipulative - all while rather stoic. But her eye rolls and facial expressions are priceless.

Like all of these movies, there's always one parent that's dismissive and forgiving of all the mischief, and the other parent who wants no part of it.

The movie is well-written and manages to play with your emotions while sprinkling in a robust dose of murderous activity.
