This is like watching a Mediocre Lifetime movie. Mediocre to bad acting and the story line is slow and writing predictable. It's fine to put on while you're doing other things. Just don't try to make a movie night out of it or expect anything more than low bar made for TV drama. You don't ever care about any of the characters or believe anything it's trying to sell.

This movie is slow. Also some directors need to teach actors how to carry take out cups of coffee. The cups must be empty the way they swing them around. Also when Julie makes a hot cup of tea Kelly picks it up like it was cold and tips the cup up too steep. I guess it was empty. It is details like this that ruin a movie. Three actors from The Young and The Restless in this movie are very good actors. The Young and the Restless is one of the worst shows for having empty cups of coffee and tea.

I'm a fan of Lifetime movies, but they've done so many stories of obsession and crazed stalkers. This movie is about a woman grieving over the "death" of her daughter but when another young lady who is the same age as her daughter comes in as her roommate, she becomes obsessive and controlling. Can't say the acting was at all good but to me, it was average. It could have been done a little bit better.

This is THE WORST movie I've seen in a long time. It's forced script and manufactured tension was so shallow and stupid, I couldn't stomach watching but half. Characters go from one mindset to the polar opposite in literally seconds. "Sure, come over and live with me. Oh wait, no I've changed my mind so get lost. Wait! Ok, move in! And by the way, you are welcome to change the decor!" How stupid! Or this one: "Don't be suspicious of my landlord. She's GREAT!" Then in the VERY NEXT SCENE to landlord, "What are you doing in my room while I'm gone? NEVER do that again!" And none of this in an "I'm conflicted" sort of way but rather in a way that makes you ask 'is there no director on set watching how this schizophrenic disaster of a plot plays out?' No context! No development! Just "I love you....wait, I think you follow Charles Manson....but maybe you aren't so bad so let's go clubbing!" PASS!

So predictable. Poor, over the top acting and story line. This movie had me cringing throughout the entire thing. So many ridiculous scenes that are so far from what would happen in reality. Give this one a miss.

The most cheese ball movie ever. How do you get these known actresses in such a wtf movie 🤣 I say they owe someone a favour. This could have been a cool movie because of the story line but apparently someone was ballin on a budget.

This is just plain bad in every way and on every level Even the sets are poor. Starting to see a lot of this garbage on Netflix and Amazon prime. I could find nothing interesting or redeemable in this dialogue acting direction all about as bad as anything I have seen in a very long while .I was unable to finish as it was to foolish to continue watching such horrfic mess even to see it to the end having invested (wasted ) some of my time on this laughable piece of work. So bad it could not even be thought of as a campy bad movie I am guessing the budget was less than 1,000.00 somebody had generous parents because only a parent would have put up money for this wreck. Note no spoilers because there was nothing to spoil

If you are in need of cheering up , or just want a good laugh, then this movie is for you ! Great entertainment , but for the wrong reasons . Do watch if, you want to see some seriously bad acting, bad directing, listen to some terrible background music throughout, and lastly, listen to a really bad script , not to mention that the storyline itself is just ridiculous ! I think that I have covered everything here, but, even though it was SO bad I still watched it through to the end, just because it was so hilarious. I wont advise you NOT to watch it , as I said before, go for it if you need a good laugh !!

Beautifully crafted and engaging TV thriller where the main protagonists are painted in shades of grey rather than in simplistic black and white strokes.

People are complicated and the writer doesn't shy away from examining the contradictory vagaries of human nature and the fragile connections humans make with each other. Example: the kooky and psycho landlord/doctor also happens to be charming and generous and knows how to enjoy herself on the dance floor. She also happens to be chilly, with a ruthless streak.

The young woman who comes to live with her is also an interesting character who is experiencing relationships difficulty on being diagnosed with cancer, but though ill, is sufficiently feisty not to be a complete doormat for the Psycho Landlady!

I found the whole yarn engrossing from start to finish. The story (and plot twists), the dialogue, and acting are well above average. I know dreck when I see it and this movie does not fall into this category at all.

I gave it an 8/10 as it's well above average TV movie fare.

No surprises here but it's fairly watchable to see how this formula obsession thriller unfolds. A youngish recovering cancer patient rents a room from a single lady doctor. The doctor lost her child years before so she obsessed over her and starts to isolate her from the girl's ex boy friend and bestie. It's okay to watch. The wacko isn't too homicidal. Ok for one watch but not one of the better ones.

Two Nuts living with each other.

Mother wants a new daughter and needs to mind her own business in between making tea.

The only reason I watched this all the way through is because I was completely procrastinating doing a work project. It wasn't so bad it was good, it was so bad it was bad. Basically a really really horrible soap opera and movie form trying to be a thriller. Even the beverage cups were "unfulfilled."

This is THE worst movie I've ever tried to watch! I only came here to see if it was a cheesy Lifetime movie. The "acting" was so bad... Not ONE real actor in the bunch!! I think ripping out my fingernails would have been more entertaining than this piece of crap. The plot uis so predictable and the storyline... wait storyline??? DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND SKIP THIS ONE... then you can thank me!!

It's your average paint-by-numbers thriller. If you come in with low expectations you won't be disappointed. Take it for what it clearly is. Predictable, average acting with only one real potential outcome. Nothing groundbreaking, but not so bad I wouldn't not recommend.

One thing I did enjoy was Stacy Haiduk. She has the wooden, cold style of acting that I appreciate in a film like this.

I am a semi-expert on Lifetime movies. I've been married a long time and we only have one television. My wife is a good sport but she's not going to spend all weekend watching James Bond movies. That said, yes, of course I've seen movies like "Home Is Where the Killer Is" before. The movie itself doesn't really standout except for its cast, especially its two leads. Kelly Kruger is dreamy and Stacy Haiduk is really dreamy. I couldn't take my eyes off either one of them. The two of them make this movie more memorable than it should be."Home Is Where the Killer Is" is an easy way to spend a school night.

HOME IS WHERE THE KILLER IS (TV Movie 2019)

BASIC PLOT: Nicole Turner (Kelly Kruger) can't seem to catch a break. She recently had a brush with medical malpractice, her cancer was missed, and she barely escaped with her life. On top of that, a recent break up with her boyfriend Kyle (Christopher Sean) has left Nicole vulnerable. Due to her illness, she lost her job and her apartment. She's expecting a windfall, but in the meantime, she needs a place to stay. Nicole finds what she thinks is the perfect temporary situation. She rents a room from Dr. Julie Thomason (Stacy Haiduk), and considers herself lucky to have found it. However, there's something odd about Dr. Thomason, and her house. There's a locked room, that's supposed to be empty. Nicole is sure she hears movement, and Julie talking to someone within. Is Dr. Thomason the blessing she seems, or is something else going on in the house?

WHAT WORKS: *Stacy Haiduk does a great job as the unstable ice queen, Dr. Julie Thomason.

*Psychology speaking, men do run from traumatic events. The two plot lines involving men bolting, Kyle running from Nicole's cancer, and Dr. Thomason's husband running from his daughter's illness, are both believe plotlines.

WHAT DOESN'T WORK: *Your protagonist should never be less likable than your antagonist. This is the case with Nicole Turner (Kelly Kruger), who is the least endearing protagonist I've seen in awhile. I don't know what Christina Welsh was thinking when she wrote this. There's no one to root for here, which makes this difficult to watch. Nicole cons Dr. Thomason into letting her stay by feigning a dizzy spell, she sneaks and pries into Dr. Thomason's person spaces, and finally, she steals one of Dr. Thomason's prescription pads. Nicole is the houseguest from hell, not the other way around. She's also a crappy friend, and girlfriend. There is nothing redeeming about this character, whose motivations are completely selfish.

TO RECOMMEND, OR NOT TO RECOMMEND, THAT IS THE QUESTION: *Run, run from this movie! Even if you like made-for-tv movies and melodramas, you'll hate this. It's a terrible jumble of selfish people you can't stand.

CLOSING NOTES: *This is a Made-For-TV movie, please keep that in mind before you watch\rate it. TV movies have a much lower budget, and so your expectations should be adjusted.

*I have no connection to the film, or production in ANY way. I am just an honest viewer, who wishes for more straight forward reviews. Hope I helped you out.

Amazing movie great actors very very well produced! And a Oscar performance by Patty Cake! Movie of the year!
