Maybe the real Martin Macneill oozed charm, but I thought Tom Everett Scott played his character quite creepy. Honestly, this guy creeped me out. I saw nothing charming about him. Also, who fakes cancer to "protect the family". That made absolutely no sense. Then after his wife's death, he sneaks into his daughter's bed with the excuse he thought she was her dead mother. What was that about. This guy was a weirdo sociopath. The movie was a little boring. The acting was adequate. I was disappointed we weren't told of Gypsy's the "nanny" fate. What happened to her.

I have given a few 1/10s before in my movie rating days. For this, I am ashamed. I should have saved that score for this piece of utter garbage. Had I known that by comparison some of those former 1/10s would look like The Godfather meets Citizen Kane next to this, I would have given them glowing reviews. I like Tom Everett Scott in most of the work he does, but I have to believe that this was simply a paycheck that he hoped would never see the light of day. Apparently it is based on a true story. Hopefully the actual murderer doesn't have TV priviledges, because watching this movie based on his crimes might be considered cruel and unusual punishment and I would hate to see him freed on a technicality. Simply the worst movie I have seen in many years.

This Lifetime movie is soo cheesy and bad in a good way. It has Tom Everett Scott from That Thing You Do and Charisma Capenter from Buffy. My millennial heart loves that.

First, we watched the bizarre Lori Vallow Lifetime movie, then we caught the bizarre Martin MacNeil Lifetime movie. What's going on with Mormons? The Martin MacNeill story is so strange that you'd think it was a work of fiction. Watch some of the actual court video on Youtube and read some of the news articles. Michele's daughter and sister really did have to solve and pursue the case on their own. They were also consultants for the movie.

Comes down to the director I think. Compelling story, good actors but just terrible result. Everything about it looks implausible even though it's based on a true stories.
