3.5/5
A Lifetime film without the Lifetime label, this ode to 90s thrillers is the perfect antidote to modern life. Plastic people in beautiful homes with utterly ridiculous problems. It's amazing. Go to Full Review
Ian Bunting Daily Record (UK) Sep 2
Campy, cheap and sorely lacking in consistency, The Stranger in My Home is best left on the doorstep rather than being invited into your viewing life. Go to Full Review

I'm there for the cheerleading, I'm here for campy drama, I'm here for the deliciously bitchy PTA Mom, I'm there for all it. See more Marlene J @Marquartsen Jan 11 Great cast. Great storyline. Great acting. Bad bad bad editing!! Really bad!! See more Tim B. @SlimTim0707 Dec 29 The Stranger in My Home fails to set the right tone for the type of movie that it is. It seems to want to be comedic but fails to deliver any punchlines. Combine that with boring and unlikeable characters and this movie is as forgettable as a daytime soap opera episode in espanol.
