The Boarder (2018) Reviews
if you life lifetime movies it's worth seeing
If you love lifetime movies this won't disappoint, lots of drama and eye candy. it feels a little low budget, sometimes, but James Maslow is awesome as the bad guy, and he's even sexier when he's being evil. The other young people in the movie, the landord daughter and her bf are really good too. Sometimes the movie is actually tense and scary and sometimes it's trying to be and isn't but overall it's what you'd expect and isn't a let down.
slow start, great finish
The first 20-30 minutes are a little slow but it picks up and turns into a great ride, exactly what you'd expect. Not every aspect of the movie is perfect but where it makes up for it and excels is casting. Lorynn York is a strong female lead, and lights up the screen as the concerned, suspicious daughter trying to protect/save her mother, played by Tanya Clarke. Clarke delivers a solid performance even though her character's refusal to see anything odd or weird about her boarder/boyfriend makes her seem a little desperate or daft (but still a great performance). Maslow is spot on as the eerily creepy handsome guy, and the energy/tension between Maslow and York is one area where the film excels. Adam Huber rounds out the cast as the perfect cop/ex-boyfriend. While it's tempting to think of this as a case of the playing being better than the piano, or performances being better than the film making, the director does a solid job. The pacing of the first 20-30 minutes is slow but once it gets into the action the film delivers.
James Maslow was great, the script wasn't.
James Maslow did all he could with the role given to him and performed well as the psycho boyfriend. However, the script was poorly written and so was the ending. I've seen better original movies on Lifetime, but I still had fun watching this.
Some single parents are really fooled like this!
This thriller is quite well acted and cast. The story isn't complicated. A young woman suspects her mother's toy boy who rents a room from her isn't all that great. It isn't that far off. Some single parents both fathers and mothers can be that blind when they get infatuated much to the consternation of their kids. The psycho is obvious from the beginning no twists here. But the story is well paced and well told and not ridiculous. The psycho is well played by James Maslow. Couple of minus points. Not much insight into why he was like that. Also not much follow up on the victims. Straightforward story but well done.
Typical
No complaints with the acting. The plot was typical Lifetime. That's expected. I was not happy with the cinematography. Too much hand held shakey camerawork. There was also something wrong with the lighting/color/contrast/exposure/saturation. It just looked unprofessional. Ladies...if you are ever attacked and choked like in this movie, remember to kick him in the balls. When he's down for the count, you are now the one who's in control. The climatic baracaded door scene was stupid. Mom suddenly freed herself really easy when she needed to. The daughter should have not stopped her mom with the rolling pin. (Although the bad guy acted like he was being beaten with a roll of paper towels) When the movie was over, I was much happier to finish watching the second half of a Perry Mason episode.
