Devon, a young girl whose father, Kent, eloped while she was away in London studying, returns home. She gets introduced to her stepmother, Laura, and her daughter, Maddie who also lives in her house. Devon and Maddie don't exactly hit it off. Laura wants to re-design the house and Devon doesn't like it. After Laura takes a nasty fall, Maddie's friend, Gia, ending up in the hospital, and a potential business client having an allergic reaction to food, Devon plants some seeds of doubt in a detective's mind when he comes to visit the house to talk to Maddie about Gia. Afterward, she feels like she's a suspect and is angry at Devon. But WHY is Devon doing this? This was a good Lifetime movie for Shocktober with Eva Igo as the baddie. A strong script and good cast make this a suspenseful watch. DEFINITELY recommended....

typical garbage Lifetime movie
haroot_azarian9 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
First of all the title is totally wrong. No one was stalking anyone. If anything it should have been called My Psycho Killer Step-sister.
The usual Lifetime formula applied here. Turns out the movie was full of totally clueless idiots. And apparently the only smart one was psycho Devon. Who it turns out had killed her dad's fiancé years ago. Out of sheer jealousy.
And now she had set her eyes on Laura and Madison, her dad (Kent's) new wife and daughter. She started off by almost killing Laura when she messed with the ladder she was on, and she fell and hurt herself. Then she sabotaged their guests dinner by putting some kind of shellfish material in the wine because the guest's husband was allergic to shellfish.
She also burned Laura's work project blueprint.
Like I said everyone was clueless Eva Igo did a great job as the despicable psycho villain. She did a great job with her psychotic looks and stares.
The ending was typically stupid. After she gets whacked on the head with a vase and planted in the face by a ladder she manages to disappear, and surprise surprise the police can't find her and six months later she appears at Madison's college and there this load of rubbish ends.
Just to be realistic, the Elizabeth Thomas kidnapping ordeal ended in 38 hours. Kara Robinson's kidnapping lasted 18 hours and Evonitz the kidnapper was caught up just a few days later and he shot himself. But in fairytale Lifetime movies the antagonists go on the run and are never caught!!!! Give me a fudging break for Chrissakes!

Really really bad no matter how you look at it

From the start to finish this movie is a piece of crap.
The stepfather in this is completely unbelievable and wooden. Looking like a paid for smiling Jack with the personality of a brick.
And the predictability of the plot is so ridiculous and you can see what's coming next from a mile away.
Add the typical stupid defective detective and not following procedures coming off like your typical sloped headed backwards facing knuckles dragging across the pavement Neanderthal with the intelligence quotient of a eggplant.
And where does lifetime find these bread loaf head none acting morons? The boyfriend acting is as bad as the stepfather when it comes to wooden and stale.
Word to the wise, bypass lifetime movie.

A Thousand Splendid Sunglasses

I cannot express the power of the performances in this movie. An absolute masterpiece of cinematic history. "Lifetime movie?" Try movie of a lifetime. Replete with sister on step sister tension and high speed police chases. This movie made me want to put on my aviators and drive straight to pound town. Ten thousand out of ten.
No spoilers, but I dumped my pittbull and now have a ladder guarding my house.
This movie comes with a warning *** if you are a fan of law and order SVU, Detective Stabler will no longer do it for you. You'll only respect 6'4" cops with eyebrows from now on. If you're looking for a run of the mill thriller go watch an A24 movie.
