1/10
One of THE stupidest movies ever on Lifetime

Locked in My House

The cast and crew actually got paid real money for this thing??

What a stupid premise: kidnap a doctor to get the time to find evidence for his crimes. Risk going to prison for decades for kidnapping....and what about having to feed him? It never once showed him eating which would be impossible to do with his hands tied - did she sit and spoonfeed him 2-3 times a day??

I KNEW the doctor/villain would escape into the house eventually.

I KNEW the husband would come back from his trip unexpectedly early.

I KNEW the female lead/Caris would come out of the whole mess smelling like a rose.

(And apparently all the plastic surgery Damon Runyan obviously had is the reason it's been so long between LMN movies for him - long recovery time.)

Everything in this so-called movie was stupid. LMN movies seem to be getting worse as the years go on (except their true crime movies, which are nothing short of excellent).

I can't decide which was stupider: loading the villain into her car and taking him to her house to keep tied up in her basement for who knows how long, OR brazenly walking into his clinic at night with the thug Rodney there inside, and taking the risk of being caught by said thug whilst copying files from the villain's laptop to a thumb drive in his office, with Thug Rodney right outside in the hallway! Then she hides behind the desk when he enters the office, with the lit-up laptop screen facing the door where TR comes in and stands looking around. He would've easily seen the light from the laptop screen as he stood there. But since the crew for this movie is a group of seemingly recent elementary school grads, he didn't, and turned around and left, closing the door behind him. And then Caris (at least they're trying to use different names other than the usual Sarah/Allison/Hannah/Claire/Anna/Emma) gets up and walks out of the office with Thug Rodney nearby since HE HAD JUST LEFT THAT OFFICE. They practically crossed paths, when she was supposedly trying to sneak in and out without him knowing. She knowingly risked her life and barely got away with him chasing close behind. I mean, how stupid can an educated, intelligent, sensible, common sense woman possibly be??

I'm mad at myself for wasting even this much time writing about the thing.

Grade F / 1 out of 10.
