HARM’S WAY
Not what I expected.
PLOT
Darlene and her daughter Victoria leave behind a bad life to stay with a woman named Bea, who runs a home for abused women. On the first day Bea gives them a full list of the rules, including no drinking, smoking or drugs on the property. Victoria fits in right away, painting with Bea and helping her take care of the goats, but Darlene isn’t happy. She’s antsy, wants a smoke and wants to get out. A man shows up, looking for his ex and Bea runs him off, but not long after, Darlene discovers the poor girl beaten and tied in the barn. Before she can leave though, a police officer shows up and he just so happens to have a report on Darlene…
TRIVIA
Filmed in Canada.
THOUGHTS
Harm’s Way is a little confusing to me because there were parts that I liked and then parts that I didn’t like. The movie keeps leading you towards one conclusion and then flips it so that something else entirely happens. Usually I like a twist ending, but in this case, it felt like the ending didn’t make sense. The movie also feels a lot like a Lifetime movie, so much so that when I started looking for information, I was shocked that Lifetime didn’t make it. I’d be surprised if they don’t show it at some point during their “scary movie” marathon for Halloween.
