Watch Fatal Lessons: The Good Teacher For Free

Blistering performances.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I vote zero for this trite. And not only for the writing but for the choice of performers. I have always disliked Erika Elaina (whatever) in anything. She comes off like a bimbo from Playboy magazine.Here she attempts to be a killer and a teacher pulling the wool over everybody else in the movie. The worse being the stupidity of the wife. She gets drugged and doesn't know it. She get's stepped on keeping her away from a trip of which bitch Erika takes her place. She has things stolen from her making her seem out in space. She almost stabs her husband. You want her to go away.Whenever anything goes wrong with wifey, she runs to the teacher who is obviously out to kill her. The husband doesn't have a clue and quick to blame wifey. I think the actress playing the wife is good but the lines she is given are ridiculous. The neighbor gets blamed for everything and wifey is quick to accuse because the teacher, a stranger, tells her so.I don't see how money can be spent for this trite and a performance by a no-talent actress as Erika. I only hope I never have to see her on screen again.

I didn't even watch this whole film which may or may not be fair judgment. But when it started out with my least favorite actress in the lead, Erika Eleniak, I knew it would be awful. I have never liked this actress in all that she's done and am amazed her career still exists. She's God-awful. And to top it off she plays a bitch. When you saw the doom of the cute dog, you knew the predictable would happen. Why do writers always kill the loving pets? Is it because we love animals more than people? But rest assure Casey T Mitchell, the author, kills the dog first off. Thanks Mitchell for your bad taste. Then there's Patricia Kalember and Ken Tremblett as the parents and victims of the bitch. And of course, like all LMN victims, they are clueless, even when they are forewarned. Again I ask why are victims so stupid in figuring things out? Mitchell doesn't disappoint me. He makes them so stupid you already figure the ending out. And I also picked the next victim. Now mind you, I didn't see the rest of this crap, but I'll bet the neighbor was next. Am I right? Lori Ann Triolo appeared briefly in the beginning before I switched channels. But I'll bet she got done in.Michael Scott directed this boring piece of crap. Beware this Erika Eleniak. She's terrible in all she does.

This made for TV movie is a mix of serial killer and other woman genres, that doesn't feature too many stupidities. (The biggest one is probably naming a character Samantha Stephens, as in Bewitched). The narrative doesn't supply much back-story or psychological motivation for the actions of the predator (and her spider-web stockings are a bit much), but then it doesn't make what she aspires to that attractive either - bland domesticity which "grows old". Also the notion of her writing a book of her story as she experiences it suggests that she wants to be caught, because her readership necessitates infamy, with the voice-activated word processor being a nice touch. Erika Eleniak is an acceptable villain, but she can't elevate the role into greatness. Whilst Patricia Kalember provides some tiny moments of pleasure within the confines of her role as doormat housewife, the best performance comes from Lori Triolo, who does wonders with a minor part and thankfully isn't punished. However, the climactic struggle to the death is too stunt-double obvious, with a denouement that is totally unbelievable.

FATAL LESSONS: THE GOOD TEACHER: Samantha Stephens and her unsuspecting family befriend a school teacher, Victoria, and suddenly a series of incidents occur, including mysterious phone calls, missing household items and strange family illnesses. Now Samantha must prevent Victoria from repeating her deadly actions of the past to save her family's future. Stars Patricia Kalember (Signs, Thirtysomething), Erika Eleniak (Baywatch, The Librarians, Betrayal) and Ken Tremblett (The Guilty, Tourist Trap, First Shot). Well the movie isn't that bad. If you don't have nothing good to watch, it's worth giving it a try. Patricia Kalembar must save her family from falling apart and all ends well..6/10
