My Husband's Deadly Past (2020 TV Movie) User Reviews

The Best Part of This Movie...

[Stoshie · 6/10 · 1 June 2020]

...was the commentary done by the woman during commercial breaks. At least Lifetime is acknowledging that these movies aren't to be taken seriously. Most of us already know that, but I do see reviews here that treat these movies as if they are more than simple mindless diversions. They are formulaic, with plot holes you could drive a truck through if you pay too close attention to them.

I have to go now. I need to buy a strobe light so I can get people to do whatever I want!

Not A Bad Movie

[hakeemtarabulsi · 6/10 · 11 July 2021]

Well, there is no such a great story neither a perfect plot, but I liked the movie somehow.

The outline is innovative I believe, nevertheless there was a massive misleading in the sense of introducing the hypnosis.

Started off good, nose-dived the second half.

This movie, although a far-fetched, started out a good thriller. Sarah Butler is adorable, and it was kinda cool to see her paired up with Peter Benson as husband and wife again. The cinematography was well done, and the acting was good... the first hour. The second hour, the story and acting dropped like a lead balloon, and became even less believable. Of course, I had to see how it resolved, but her falling for the handsome, Dr. Gossett, was a bit predictable. 5 stars for the first half, 0 stars for the second.

Too far fetched and ridiculous

[phd_travel · 3/10 · 4 June 2020]

The idea that people could be so readily and effectively hypnotised to do such a range of things is just absurd.

Too much to stomach for Lifetime even.

Do not bother.

Bad acting.

[hireapi · 1/10 · 1 June 2021]

This movie has bad acting, bad directing and terrible writing.

Too bad there is no Goofs section on this review.

1) They tell her that that her fingerprints are on the plastic bag... then, they get around to fingerprinting her.

2) The guy almost dies. One month later, he's strolling around with a sling.

Crappy, unbelievable tripe.

Sarah Butler shines again

[vbacon-111-578329 · 7/10 · 18 December 2020]

I will admit that I've been a huge fan of Sarah Butler. So I'm biased. Still, she does a great job playing the damsel in distress here.

However, I can only go as high as 7 on this film. There were at least a couple of unrealistic scenarios (arguably plot holes), and the whole premise of hypnosis being used in the way suggested, brings the film down a couple of nothces.

The plot is way too formulaic. If you haven't figured out how the while thing 30 minutes in, then you haven't watched enough Lifetime movies.

So why do I give it such a high rating? I find Lifetime movies fun to watch and I did enjoy watching this.

Give it a miss

[mjschiller-105-313340 · 1/10 · 24 August 2021]

The acting in this was so bad, i turned it off after 10 mins.

Terrible

[sydneycarton-74051 · 1/10 · 9 August 2021]

Clichefest. Terrible acting. Terrible story. Feels like they shot the movie in a few days.

Quite a good thriller!

[Chartreuse1 · 9/10 · 1 June 2020]

The title of this Lifetime movie, My Husband's Deadly Past, tells the audience that the husband is the killer but there's a whole lot more to the plot which really keeps you guessing for a while......Sarah Butler does an excellent job portraying the wife who figures out what he's up to and how to stop it all before he kills her, too. Highly recommended and will watch again.

One Of Sarah's Finest - 2 Thumbs Up!

[kupcr · 8/10 · 16 September 2020]

If there's one thing I love about LIFETIME, it's amazing actress Sarah Butler's movies and from her 3 'Spit On Your Grave' movies to this FANTASTIC Thriller 'Woman On The Edge (My Husband's Secret Past)', she really pushes her acting to the limit and this edge of your seat thriller! I really liked her character Karen Croft, a woman who at the beginning, has these dream's that she murdered a young woman, but there's more to this story than that and there's a whole lot more to the plot which really keeps you guessing for awhile. Of course, Sarah Butler portrays the wife and she does an excellent job and at one point you're trying to piece the who story together! There are no car chases, but the prison break scene makes you scratch your head! I really connected to the actor Peter Benson, who plays Karen's husband Otto, a psychologist. I've also followed his work. This movie is actually one of Butler's better one's. This movie was worth watching again.

Sarah is gorgeous, smart; the whole package

[nadshi · 10/10 · 30 May 2021]

Sarah the actress playing the female protagonist wife of the titular husband in the movie is mesmerising, a younger brown eyed, brunette Nicole Kidman meets Meg Ryan. At age 35, she was hard to fathom as a teenager's biological mother in the movie. My core values are in sync with how the movie plot progresses.

And the film as a whole is very pretty too; nice houses, swimming pools, everyone looks dapper and well groomed. Worth the watch if you are a feminist.
