"Evil Doctor" (a.k.a., "Snatched") is an outrageous dark comedy about the gynecologist Dr. Natalie Barnson, a damaged soul if there ever was one.
At birth, little Natalie has been stolen from a hospital by a couple who was unable to produce a child. She was raised for eight years in a trailer, where she bonded with her criminal father who adored her. But at age eight, the kidnappers were discovered, the father she idolized put a bullet in his head, and she was returned to her birth parents. It turned out that Natalie would have had a better life in the trailer park as her "new" father, Frank, was a nefarious creature who abused Natalie for a decade.
Now as a practitioner in the art of "giving life," Dr. Barson decides that she wants her own baby. Unable to conceive, she sets her sights on the couple Matt and Aubrey Lewis. Aubrey is pregnant and Matt resembles her beloved trailer dad. The film is about the devious manipulation and scheming of Dr. Barnson.
As performed by a scene-chewing Dina Meyer, Dr. Barnson is quite the seductress. She has no trouble bagging Matt, the producer of the popular TV sitcom series called "Family Phun." But it is no fun for Matt once he realizes that Dr. Barnson is a sociopath. The good doctor proceeds to flirt with a very pregnant Aubrey, then start an affair with Matt's co-worker, Vicky Dolan, who meets her end in the bathtub in Dr. Barnson's home. The bathtub was also the site where Dr. Barnson eliminated her birth mother, who had becom an inconvenience.
The filmmakers were successful in weaving into the narrative a limited number of flashback scenes, which told the story of the young Natalie Barnson. The characters were interesting and the dialogue was crisp. The close-ups on Dr. Barnson were effective in conveying her slick method of operation to wreak havoc on multiple lives. She does a lot a damage, but there was a certain levity that made the character portrayal of Dr. Natalie Barnson a tour de force in the art of creating a tornado in the form of a tortured human soul.

Should be called Sexual Doctor
There were some unexpected moments and the evil doctor, Natalie, certainly played it well. However, the husband character I hated. It portrayed sex starved married men as weak. He didn't have a nagging wife or any weak excuse to cheat, she was innocent and undeserving of his cheating. What was he expecting, a one night stand to not complicate his life after that? He deserved the frustration. Making the doctor lesbian after that was clever but jeez we already sat through some very sexual situations and they just piled it on.
Pretty good lifetime TV movie
Dina Meyer was wicked fun in this one!! Definitely showed her deranged side when they show her commit murders and she has a pet rattlesnake. This film definitely shows how ones messed up childhood affects them as adults. Also this lifetime film turns up the heat with its frequent sexual scenes between Dina Meyer and Corin Nemec. The psycho doctor in this sets her sights on a pregnant couple. She even puts a hidden camera in a blue tooth sound system she gives them so she can watch them at all times.
