I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

This had the makings of a great film, but the people behind it took far too many liberties with the hauntings. Brad is a doctor, so even without a wealthy wife he would almost certainly have been a member of the 1%. They live in a palatial home, and she isn't exactly unattractive, to put it mildly, so what can go wrong? Lots of things, from when she was a girl. Her father murdered her mother then killed himself, leaving his substantial estate in trust for his daughter with a plethora of strings attached.When she was young, Emma had an imaginary friend, as kids sometimes do, especially those without siblings. The problem is her imaginary friend is back, all grown up and stunningly attractive. While she is clearly suffering from hallucinations, her husband is covertly doing his best to encourage them hoping to get her committed so he can get his hands on her trust. As so often happens, people who are too greedy end up with nothing, wifey has Brad sussed, and soon he is the one popping pills hoping to exorcise the ghost Emma claims she has killed. And this is where it gets silly, how does one account for blood appearing and then drying up? How does a real live woman behave like a phantom, appearing and disappearing at will? Only by invoking the supernatural, which apparently we are not meant to do. At one point Brad's desperation is quite funny, but one suspects any humour the viewer derives from his plight was unintended.

I usually hate made for TV movies but this one wasn't bad. The acting was pretty good because usually I'm grimacing at the bad acting in these movies but I didn't at all. If I hadn't looked up reviews before I watched it, I wouldn't have been exactly sure what was going on until the end.The main character is diagnosed as mentally ill, as she has visions of her imaginary friend from childhood, and her husband has POA over her family's trust. He's carrying on at least one affair on the side and making withdrawals from the trust freely. Basic premise of Gaslight, which movie I love.Very entertaining!

I thought this was a good movie, but could only give it a five. It was just too predictable. I knew as soon as I saw Brittany that she was real and the husband was behind her being there. I also found the movie to be quite implausible.It was pretty clear that Lacey's character was really off at the start, and then all of a sudden she was perfectly normal with no reasoning. It was never made clear how she figured out the husband's plot, one assumes that Brittany told her. Why would Brittany turn on the husband in favor of the wife? Either way she was getting paid.I find it hard to believe that Ethan's character could be turned into a pill-popping psycho in a matter of hours, and all his doctor friends turned on him in a second.It was great seeing Jacob Young. Love him!

This was a great thriller. I loved the twists. I totally thought the twist when Brittany turned out to be real was amazing. It shocked me. It was also cool that Emma, played by Lacey Chabert, knew what her husband was up to and got even with him in the end. The acting was really good - especially Lacey. She had such a great intensity. Ethan Embry was good as her cheating husband. He plays slimy really nicely. Overall, it's great to see Lifetime do a smarter thriller. You really have to watch this one to get it. I want to see it again as I'm sure I missed some of the hints along the way. This movie isn't so cookie cutter like some of the other ones that Lifetime does.
