Strong healthy people in their 20's and 30's are all easily overpowered and murdered by a 60 something psycho grandma. My favorite scene was when granny tied a string around a 30 year old woman's throat who doesn't even try to kick granny's brittle legs behind her to escape the hold and instead just gasps like a helpless idiot in wide eyed fear before buying the farm.

What makes it all the more baffling is that 5 minutes earlier the 30 year old was feisty as hell and acted like she was itching to take on the old woman when she found out her secrets.

But one string wrapped around her neck by granny's arthritic hands and she drops like an anchor lol. Please! Just kick her leg behind you and grab her brittle arms for God sake. Then again it was hard to tell if this was serious or a comedy. Either way it sucked.

Coleen is the granny predator in search of the perfect family. Apparently independently wealthy, she is not seeking monetary gain from her victims. Instead, she wants to be the center of attention in an idealized family. In the character of Samantha Kirkpatrick, she believes she has finally struck the mother lode.

Samantha is predisposed to co-dependency. She is a bleeding heart who will be a sucker for a sob story. Colleen easily dupes Samantha into believing that she is her grandmother, who gave her mom up for adoption. The film seeks to unfold how deep Colleen gets her tentacles into Samantha. Despite the attempts of Samantha's husband Brad to urge his wife to proceed with caution in her newfound relationship, Samantha does not pay heed to his advice.

The filmmakers could not quite walk the line between dark comedy and the horror genre. It was unpleasant that Colleen had to knock two interesting characters out of the film, including Brad's colleague and Samantha's bestie Aimee. While there were some snappy lines of dialogue for the former nurse Colleen ("I dabble in a little needlework"),the villainess was far too unpleasant from start to finish.

The elements of this film seemed all too predictable. It was not made clear why Colleen had given up a daughter for adoption. The appearance of Melanie as a "deus ex machina" at the end seemed especially strained. The viewer had to wonder who was this stranger breaking the door down in the nick of time. Melanie also showed just a little too much empathy for her birth mother whom she just conked over the head. Melanie wants Colleen to get help that she needs, but it didn't seem very likely that Melanie would be paying many visits to a mother in a nut house.

Older ladies behaving badly is a fun and entertaining trend. This one is quite over the top with the body count quite high. A woman pretends to be the grandma of a woman who lost her mom recently. Friends and loved ones are sceptical. It's quite fun as she insinuates herself into her victims life. Not a lot of explanation for the psycho behaviour though. The other recent similar Lifetime thriller "Killer Grandma" was slightly better.
