    Unconvincing

    Interesting premise, good build up, weak end and the villain was not very scary. Characters were one dimension, except for the lead.

    A scary nightmare very watchable

    Movies for Lifetime with Kelli Williams are usually better than average and this is no exception. She plays against type here and you feel more for her in such a situation.

    The story is a watchable nightmare scenario. A mom had to go to prison for a DUI and then when she is out her ex cell mate comes to stay. The cell mate / wacko is pretty frightening.

    Worth a watch.

    Quite scary.

    Not bad

    After being released from prison, a woman meets her ex-con cellmate and bad things begin to happen. The movie was fun and moved along fairly well. There were a few interesting plot twists here and there. On the negative side, the smoking was gratuitous and stupid.

      Called "Early Release" instead of "Mommy's Prison Secret" on Amazon Prime.
    • Goofs
      All modern cars such as the one with the daughter in the trunk have large yellow handles that will open the trunk from the inside to avoid accidental entrapment. Accordingly, the daughter could not have been trapped inside the trunk as shown.
