Fatal Fandom
Pop star hires security guard as her personal 24/7 bodyguard, whom she allows to live in her house, unaware that he's a psycho with a vengeful murderous agenda.
At least this time, the huge palatial mansion was believable since she was a wealthy celebrity - unlike the many Lifetime movies where the huge resort-like mansions are the homes of common folk with healthcare jobs and single moms struggling to get by, behind on bills (a frequent complaint of mine in my reviews here).
I knew the attack by the guy with the gun at the beginning was set-up by the psycho security guard to get Eden to like and remember him and then eventually hire him as her bodyguard, which means I've watched way too many LMN flicks since it's an oft-used plot device by the psycho stalker to endear the victim to him.
A huge plot hole: Jackson was more than willing to get hot and heavy with Eden when they finally kissed on her patio, yet his motive for maneuvering himself into her life and her house was because he hated her for what he perceived as her role in his sister's suicide. If he hated her so much, how could he be so passionate about making love to her?
Finally - the insanely dumb ending: I had to rewind it to make sure I heard Eden and Christian correctly.
Christian: "I liked your remix."
Eden: "I did too."
This, right after they've both just been through the harrowing experience of a psycho murderer terrorizing them and killing Eden's best friend right in front of her - not to mention the bad guy still tied up and gagged in the storage room. Do they immediately rush to a phone to call the police as soon as they're able to? NO, of course not - they cuddle and stare up at the sky while blood pours down the back of Christian's head where Jackson had clocked him in his murderous rampage. And as anyone who's watched Lifetime movies knows - the villain ALWAYS gets back up after being shot/stabbed/knocked out/etc. And goes after the protag again and again like a mindless robot. Yet neither Christian nor Eden even look back at Jackson even once to make sure he's down for good. Sometimes I wonder about the intelligence and maturity level of the writers of these LMN flicks.... I really do.
