A woman returns from maternity leave and find her temp has usurped her. There is a reason why her wacko temp is there.
One unusual thing is this is a Lifetime thriller with a mostly British cast acting as Americans. No wonder everyone is a bit paler. But don't expect RADA quality acting. It's done alright production quality wise and the story is okay as a moderately diverting thriller but not too different from this kind of thriller.

Crazy Ex thriller with a British cast
Lynda Wilson is such a bad actress
The movie was ok. But that actress Lynda or whatever is so so so bad. She has an annoying look, thin lips and her mouth moved weirdly when she talks. She is just not appealing on screen.
Typical lifetime movie, ok to watch on a Sunday when you're bored and doing some work.
Mediocre and frustrating
SPOILERS AHEAD: Strange movie, in several ways: Why use all British actors to make an American movie where they must drop their natural Brit accents and force themselves to speak with American accents throughout the movie? What's the point in that? It's so frustrating when movies forget to tie up loose ends, such as the life or death of 2 important characters in this movie: the ex-boyfriend and the babysitter. Did they survive their attempted murders by the female psycho?? Did the babysitter survive the attempted poisoning and did the ex survive the stabbing?? The lead actress/Kathy (common old-fashioned name) was apparently a minimalist actress because she was soft-spoken and under-acting throughout the movie. And was that her natural hair or a wig? It looked fake. The baby was beyond adorable but his parents treated him like a temporary football, practically tossing him back and forth to each other and the babysitter. Speaking of the sitter, she looked too young to babysit a baby -- she looked to be in her early teens, at most. And her name - Fran - is also very old-fashioned. The premise/plot was one of the most commonly used by Lifetime: psycho ex-girlfriend/wife comes after current wife in sneaky, conniving, crazy ways -- first subtle and hidden, then blatant and no-holds-barred. If you're going to use the same old formula over and over, at least make it interesting in other ways, and don't leave the audience hanging when it comes to whether certain secondary characters survived or not. I tried to care about the wife/mother (Kathy) but just couldn't. The dialogue between most characters was flat and sparse. The only one conveying any warmth whatsoever was the ex-boyfriend. I shook my head in disgust at the blatant stupidity of the sitter when she actually walked far enough away from the house and stayed outside long enough for the female psycho to sneak into the house and then wreak havoc until the end of the movie. Was she not warned by the parents about the female psycho and told to stay inside and keep the doors locked, no matter what? Guess not. Too contrived, as is the case with most Lifetime movies. I give the overall acting 6/10 and the movie itself 5/10.
