Fatal Following

source: The Cult

"My Daughter's Double Life" (a.k.a., "Fatal Following," a.k.a., "The Cult") is a film with more sleazy characters than the total number of letters in all the different titles. But a breath of fresh air is Heather Prentice, the mom who is relentless in searching for a daughter who suddenly vanished. Wellsby is a sleepy little community with the town's motto "Forever Starts Here." The town was intended as the new beginning for young Ally Prentice who leaves her mom and stepfather to escape a stultifying home environment. One of the most interesting characters is Mariah, the young woman from Wellsby who befriends Ally and enables her transition into a new life. By all appearances, Mariah and the presumed cult leader Bridger have evil designs in bringing Ally into their sphere. The situation seems especially grim when Ally's death is faked and Heather is harassed when she arrives in Wellsby in search of her daughter. But appearances can be deceiving! The wild card in the equation is Ally's unsavory stepfather, Jack, the pastor of the Fellowship of Righteous Life. Ally is forced to conceal nothing from her zealous parents. Yet Jack himself is concealing the Big Lie about his religious life and community. The performances were first-rare in this unsettling drama of secrets and lies. The favorite poet of Ally's late father Frank was Wordsworth, whose poems call out for freedom, a commodity that seems all too rare in the hothouse environments evoked in this well-crafted drama.

This tv crap is a festival of bad acting in itself. I just can't take it anymore, there not one decent movie out there in the past two years at least. Is all a compilation of bad and terrible movies. Even past good actors have gone sideways and is like someone stole their acting capabilities...aliens have taken over in the movie industry.

This was a pretty good movie with some decent twists and turns but it was nice seeing the new upcoming star Alivea Disney-Lafavor she seems to be doing really well I can't wait to see more Of her acting I think she is definitely a diamond in the rough and definitely a star in the making I would definitely recommend checking out this movie.

OK where to start. First of all before I forget the constant violing background music was very annoying. Like a lot of other LMN movies it seems like the music and sound departments just love to get it wrong! So this is a movie about running away from a cult and seemingly through a de-brainwashing group. But what is weird about this the de-brainwashing group led by the bearded guy seems to be the actual cult itself. I don't know whether it was done deliberately to make the movie be like a more whodunit movie or what? But it seemed pointless to me. Another LMN story which is allegedly based on a true story called Crimes of the Mind starring Christina Cox, Tina Ivlev and Paula Trickey was I think much better on the same subject of brainwashing and de-brainwashing. Anyway if you're bored and have nothing to do I suppose you could watch this movie. I could have written a much better story than this one.

Mariah was beautiful and wonderfully had me guessing the whole movie! Better than most Lifetime movies for sure, thought I had the plot figured out more than once but due to a great job on screen I was still surprised at the end!

Well, that was a kind of cool time-waster. Another pic with many unfamiliar names, but the tale is decent enough, and the surprise does truly surprise. There are of course some plot holes, and I wouldn't have minded a little more follow-up resolution, but...whatever. Lifetime movie fans will have a bit of fun here.

Ally, a teen, with a controlling mother, Heather, wants to run away from her and moves to another town. Heather is told she drowned there but mom doesn't believe it since they never recovered her body. So what really happened and why? You will have to tune in to find out. This movie has a real twist at the end. Worth one watch......

Everytime nwas excellent. The cast, the story the plot twist. Ohh and Mariah was hands down my fav. I deff see more LTM in my future.

Alivea Disney-Lafavor is truly a great actress , playing Mariah! I was like ooh she's not nice, then ....and so believable!❤ She really got into character and really shined. Look forward to seeing her again!
