Not too shabby

Pretty decent for a Lifetime style TV movie. Laura Harris is super cute. As usual, the writers frustrated the audience several times with characters' unwillingness to defend themselves against baseless accusations. That just drives me nuts and doesn't add anything to the plot in my opinion but frustration. But you see it all the time in these types of movies.ABOUT MY REVIEWS:I do not include a synopsis of the film/show -- you can get that anywhere and that does not constitute a meaningful review -- but rather my thoughts and feelings on the film that hopefully will be informative to you in deciding whether to invest 90-180 minutes of your life on it.My scale: 1-5 decreasing degrees of "terrible", with 5 being "mediocre" 6- OK. Generally held my interest OR had reasonable cast and/or cinematography, might watch it again 7 - Good. My default rating for a movie I liked enough to watch again, but didn't rise to the upper echelons 8- Very good. Would watch again and recommend to others 9- Outstanding. Would watch over and over; top 10% of my ratings 10 - A classic. (Less than 2% receive this rating). For Lifetime Movies for Chicks (LMFC), drop the above scale by 3 notches. A 6 is excellent and 7 almost unattainable.

One of Lifetime's best!

Wish Lifetime made more movies like this. I happened to flicking through the channels and caught this one. It is a riveting tale that keeps you wondering, is Alison imaging a lot of the drama and chase she's feeling or is Snow really a serial killer? You have to watch the movie slowly boil to climax and you won't be disappointed. Really excellent pacing and acting, also.
