Great watch, could watch again, and can recommend.
This is a great realistic psychological thriller. You literally get to watch Caitlin Stasey carry the movie as a woman slowly showing that she's going crazy.
Honestly, with level of acting she displays in this, I'm honestly confused why she isn't as big as her co-star, Thora Birch, who feels incredibly under utilized. Though, this is the first time I've seen her able and playing a "mom type" character.
While Stasey clearly carries the movie, Sasha Frolova does her fair share of work as well.
The story itself is pretty average, but there is just enough production value put into it, and the idea is executed so well that it feels like excellent writing. To be fair, it did take quite a bit of talent to write the webs of lies weaved in the story. The level of sociopathy displayed is amazing.
It's a great movie from a psychological perspective, and I'm sure if you like "social drama" or suspense, then you'll like this one.

"Can't Go Home Again"
This movie had an interesting storyline...
Right, well I wasn't expecting "Kindred Spirits" to be the kind of movie that it turned out to be. I saw that it was a mystery horror/thriller, so of course I was interested in watching it.
But the movie was more of a drama thriller, I think. Not really much of a mystery in the movie, nor were there any proper elements of horror. Now, don't get me wrong, because that does not mean that "Kindred Spirits" was a bad movie. Actually it turned out to be an entertaining enough movie and one that definitely was surprising.
The storyline in "Kindred Spirits", as written by Chris Sivertson and directed by Lucky McKee, started out adequately enough, but it quickly took a turn for the more odd and somewhat disturbing. And that twist to the plot and storyline was something that I enjoyed, and it made for a good movie in my opinion.
"Kindred Spirits" has some good acting performances by the casted actors and actresses, but especially Caitlin Stasey stands out as being the most memorable of the cast, and she really carried the movie a great way with her individual performance.
When you sit down to watch "Kindred Spirits", keep in mind that this is not a run-of-the-mill horror movie, so you shouldn't be expecting a proper horror movie. However, sit down to watch the movie with the intention of watching a movie with a storyline that is somewhat offbeat and disturbing.
My rating of "Kindred Spirits" lands on a six out of ten stars. I was genuinely surprised with this movie and I was most definitely entertained by the movie.
Too gory for Lifetime
Usually Lifetime thrillers are entertaining in a pleasant way. But this one was unpleasant looking and the ending wasn't well explained. Didn't like the gross violence which was worse than what we are used to in Lifetime. A wacko aunt story could have been good but it doesn't make sense here.
