I'm likely being more generous with this review after watching another Lifetime movie, Tempting Fate, which had the worst premise ever. Catfish Killer was exactly what you'd expect-like another good one, Pregnant and Deadly. I mean, come on; with titles like these, you know what to expect.
Catfish Killer was an entertaining little made-for-TV mystery where our heroine, Hannah, has the world at her feet-loving mother, acceptance to her chosen university, great friends, etc. Then she joins an app, meets this guy, and everything changes.
The movie did an excellent job of presenting a number of possible suspects, and the settings were nice. I liked the little house Hannah lived in with her mother. I watch noir movies made in the 1940s for great writing/acting and did not anticipate it here. And, as I stated earlier, the film adhered to the expected Lifetime movie formula and delivered all anticipated elements, which kept me entertained throughout. Giving Catfish Killer 5 stars.
