Had a friend way back in the early 70. He was going through a bad patch. His wife was leaving him and he had no job. I gave him a job for a few weeks till he got back on his feet. During the period he worked for me, say 2 weeks, he borrowed the key of the site hut to make what he called. Local calls. His young gf had moved to Canada and was pregnant by him. He used our site phone to make the calls. The firm got the fraud squad involved and they asked me had I loaned the key to snyone. I immediately trued to protect my friend but when he started to deny everything to me, I let the fraud squad go ahead and explain to him why they knew that he was the one who was making calls to Canada costing 400+ a time.. As he grew older. his gfs grew younger..In the end, it was pathetic to watch.
The moment that the roommate screamed at her and slammed the door she would have been out. Nobody comes to my house and does that. That is why some people prefer to live alone.
A similar thing happened to me when I tried to help out a 'friend'. It's very upsetting when you realise you've got a violent, unstable person living in your home.
@maccoll3644 right I know what you mean some are supposedly family members of yours meaning they're just as weird as a regular stranger are worse and they got the nerve to call you family and they really don't leave that are they keep coming back
I have had some really bad roommate situations before but, luckily, none this bad. You never really know someone until you live with them no matter how long you’ve known them before that.
I thought about renting a room in my house when I first got divorced. But it was only a passing thought. I'm a very private person and I couldn't have taken someone living in my home. I'm glad I took the time to get to know myself I was married for a very long time and I couldn't have taken another person living with me. I'm still by myself and I absolutely love it. Take the time to get to know yourself you can do it. you don't need anyone else ❤
I was so blessed to have two wonderful roommates in 2017 & 2018. The extra money helped me pay off my car. I would never rent my room again in this day.
When I was a child in they 60's and 70's my grandmother always rented her rooms out to students. She had two at a time. They never caused her any problems or harm. She was lucky.
She was very blessed. My poor dad didn't ever have one good tenant. The people whom he rented to were destructive to the property and didn't pay rent. So then he'd have to evict them, which cost him even more money than he could possibly afford. He was always poverty-stricken. I don't even know how he was able to buy the place he was trying to rent out to begin with. One of those rotten tenants used to be a best friend of mine when we were kids. Her mother and my stepmother were best friends until her mother passed away. So this person was kind of like family, and my dad had no qualms about renting to her. He had no idea she would take advantage of his kindness the way she did. She came up with excuses after excuses for not paying rent and was destructive to the property. She allowed her BF to move in with her even though it was against the terms of the lease. All kinds of stuff like that. It still makes me so angry just thinking about it!
My friend started an Air BnB. She doesn't need the money. Right now there's a suspicious person on her property. I warned her. Now I'm getting the silent treatment. She ought to watch these movies
@@twilfitsmaybe you shouldn't have warned her sometime they don't listen and alot of times it don't be strangers it be people that you're close to like FAMILY members and they are the worse kind believe you me
i almost forget to thank this channel, you upload all these forgotten gems for us to enjoy, like a better netflix to offer, for free! thank you so much!
Yes like someone else mentioned we should be thankful for these free movies! They were really well made and great acting. It’s scary to think this could happen. Thank you!
I actually lived in a duplex garden apartment and I was on the 1st floor. It was a horrendous experience. My landlord's cousin who owned the above unit rented it out to a mentally unstable guy. This guy was so unstable that at the end I had to have him arrested attempting to trespass my apartment whie my mother was there. It was really scary. Now as a landlord I know what questions yo ask but mos importantly, I never conduct interviews with prospect tenants over the phone. It aways must be conducted in person.
You can say that again! What makes me mad is that people like that renter make it difficult for the good renters in the world who know how to treat people decently. 😢
That's why now I'm presently at our country home since I manned it because Mom has passed away, even many had suggested renting out my own set up and built house in the city, I don't want other people using my house. I want peace of mind.
It's a huge let down to people like myself who want to believe that others are kind and respectful in the same way we are. I've personally become very cynical the last several years because of the unbelievable things I've experienced as a result of the way people treated both me and my daughter. It makes it very hard to trust anyone - even those you've thought of as "good" friends - anymore.
Better to sell your house and downsize to a smaller space that fits your current needs than rent a room to anyone. Those arrangements are either a hit or miss and you never know which you'll get.
I'm not moving in anywhere where I can't use the central heating. I love these older lifetime movies with no cell phones everywhere etc. It was weird to see someone actually get in a cab like the old days.
It is a tradition amongst the property owners in my family to personally bodily evict tenants rather than wait for the court process. This movie helped me to understand why! 💪
That’s illegal and the owner can end up having to pay the renter by evicting a tenant without going through the court. The cops will tell you the tenant can return too. If you feel that strongly, just don’t rent to anyone. Most people who do rent out a room do so because they need the money to make their rent etc….
It was a good movie. She had such a mean and selfish family who were too busy caring about their own needs. If people show goodness on a daily basis there would be less crime and less drug taking. It is in everyone’s best interests it would reduce health costs., insurance costs etc. at the same time be aware of your safety and do good and try to aim to be happy and spread happiness whenever u can.
I’m glad my sister was my roommate when we moved together 2 yrs ago instead of a stranger. I don’t trust anyone else who I don’t know to let them live with me. Now I live with my husband ❤️ This is a great movie to learn to never let a stranger live with you
This is just too awful for words and, yet again, it's always the awful people who win out over us decent law-abiding citizens. How can this ever change for the better??
Glad the divorced woman was a strong woman, because she pretty much had to deal with this dangerous lunatic by herself. The way her daughter treated her when she drove 100 miles to see her at collage was disgraceful! I was not great father, but none of my kids would been so disrespectful or so unconcern. Beauty is only skin deep. Good movie!
After my husband passed away, it took me 3 times of renting to single women before I finally leaned my lesson. I’ll pitch a tent in the woods before I ever let anyone live with me again.
@@lorir5728yep I'm going through this right now with the my mother and a crazy tenant, and then my good friend was just violently assaulted by his tenant and the police still would not arrest him. I couldn't believe it. Judge denied a restraining order because he didn't want the violent tenant homeless. I couldn't believe it
I know, I had to look away! The cat looked so real. My evil neighbor poisoned my 6 pound pomerainian. He is now in prison for an unrelated crime. The World is not so "Leave it to Beaver" anymore.
Ooh my God I never know before that in UA-cam you can find such great movies more than Netflix, I enjoy watching . now every day am enjoying with these kind of movies. 09.07.24.
When I moved to this apt and had only hooked up my internet and not cable TV, I watched some old movies and discovered there is way more to see on You Tube than cable and I never did hook up cable. Got rid of my TV and haven't missed it. I now see many things for $29/ mo..
The worse part is I bet she fought for that house in the divorce knowing she couldn’t afford it instead of selling it and moving into another house she could afford. Ego is one hell of a drug.
Or live as a tenant with total stranger... My landlord was mentally unstable under therapy which I didn't know at the time. One day, she left me out of the flat, in my pyjamas, and went to my room, throwing my things around. All I could hear from the outside her crying without letting me back in.
Mental illness is real!! I was so mad when Patti didn't fight back hard enough at first but it's shocking to deal with someone like that and at the end when she asked her to hold her I cried because I have a nephew with mental illness and they make you both angry and feel bad for them 😢😢
Very true. I remember when this film debuted & it disturbed me in a strange way. Its shocked me the way the law was on the side of the disturbed person & NOT the owner! I hated that she killed the woman's cat....but also hated that she retaliated by killing Romeo the mouse. I know that people can escape your radar, but this young woman acted REALLY bizarrely from almost the beginning, even before she agreed to let her move in. There has to be easier & safer ways to pay the mortgage than rent to strangers. But the ending made me cry....& still does. Because the disturbed young woman was indeed mentally-ill & was dying....kudos to the older woman for having the compassion that the young woman did not.
All these people saying "oh just evict her, she's crazy" America has shit laws that protect the renter even squatters rights. You can be kicked out of yr own house with a restraining order.
@@cathybassett6432. Normal renters, this is a psycho. And, even with leases reviewed by legal counsel and signatures, it is VERY difficult to to evict people.
I must agree. I warned my own neighbors about this: Its insane how many rights people can have if you let them stay with you......& I am not even talking about LEGAL renters! You can experience a problem if you allow the person to get their mail where you live! It actually establishes residency! So if you allow someone to stay with you, MAKE SURE THEY GET A P.O. BOX! Otherwise it could be disastrous.
@@cathybassett6432 It depends on the state & the lease. In my state, it can take a minimum of 90 days to 6 months to evict someone! Its ridiculous. Even if you are not a legal renter, the squatter's rights here are ludicrous. Allowing the person or persons to get their mail delivered in your home ESTABLISHES RESIDENCY! Just say no!
My best friends mother, whom I loved dearly, is a doppelganger to Lindsay Crouse. Do not move strangers into your home, my mother did this after the death of my father with the intention of making a little money to supplement her widows benefits. Crimes were terrible crimes were committed against me, and my mom. People stole everything my father worked for on top of the other crimes. I still suffer to this day over what happened. Better off to get a job anywhere, go to church, community get together, volunteer for something, get a pet, anything, just please don't move strangers into your home.
I had bad experience I can understand this woman well . I had to kick a woman out with 20 people as evidence what she did to me I was helping her out I only said for little while I tell you never trust to let anyone in your home . In reality things like this actually happen. I had good supportive friends better live alone then with a nightmare .
I was getting so angry watching this lol.. I had to remind myself it’s just a movie. But she took way too long to start fighting for herself. Good movie tho.
Seriously one of the best landlord/tenant suspense films ever made! The tenant made my blood boil. Acting from both ladies was superb, and the writers were clever but kept it all believable. The line at the end when she says "I can't catch a break.." was a great finishing touch to the story! 5 stars!
My mother and I are going through this right now with a tenant. He is scary beyond belief and we pray we can get him out and that he will not come back to hurt us. Crazy just like this woman.
My significant other told me if you pull a knife on someone you better start using it or they'll grab it from you, which is exactly what happened in the opening scene! That's solid advice!
I've never heard of any of these actors but they were all so professional. Great editing, camera and sound. Was this made for Cable or network TV? Well done, good script and acting.
Lol 😂😂😂 For some reason, I've had an addiction to old made-for-tv movies the past few days. Normally, I don't even like watching movies anymore. It's weird.
I am extremely against harming innocent creatures in labs or any way shape or form! That scene grieved me along with all the other disturbing parts of this movie
That lady needed to be disallowed to live unsupervised and unmedicated. People like that should not be permitted to live on their own in society! Personal experience with an ex who lived on his own and ultimately, allegedly molested my daughters friend and ended up in jail at which time I divorced him.
I never understood the whole wine/books/candles/ even food in the bathtub. Why would you snack whilst bathing??? I tried reading a book once like they do in these films & all I did was get bubbles splashed on my book. No fun!
@@taracollins5597 It can't last long as well - water and bubbles cool off quickly - so you get a spoiled book, cold and a little drunk... AND not even really clean!
@@AnnabelleJARankin You're right about the bubbles vanishing & definitely water-cooling! Not to mention most tubs leave half-the-body out of the water lol...what idiot designed standard tubs?!!! Or was everyone 4' 2" feet tall back then?? But actually I learned one does get basically clean, because most bubble-baths are made with soap! :)
What a great film! The gaslighting and psychological manipulation portrayed was very realistic. I felt so sorry for the lady who owned the house, and could imagine how she was left dealing with her unbalanced lodger. Brilliant acting throughout!
WOW, great movie. Glad that wonderful lady made it out safe. The younger girl needed help and the doctors should have been more on top of things for this young girl. She did this to herself , but should have gone to the doctors like she was suppose too! GR8 ending!
So are we going to ignore that the mother and daughter kissed on the lips in the beginning 😂I mean maybe that's their thing but it was just off putting for some reason.
This movie has the most number of stupid characters - The landlady, the daughter, the husband, the police, the lawyer, the judge, the guy from laboratory. So annoying to watch.
LOL In real life, she's a weirdo who goes around claiming to be psychic, and was twice accused of kidnapping her children away from her ex. So you might be on to something!
It is 2023 we won't even put a "WELCOME" anything outside no telling what would happen or who would take it serious , we prefer "BEWARE OF OWNERS" the dogs are for cuddles !!!!
I know this is a movie, but the daughter & ex husband were real pieces of work and not supporting her p*ssed me off. The fact that tenants have more rights than the homeowner makes me feel nauseous.🤢🤮 What's more scary is that there's sickos like this out there IRL. What did the 🐈 do to deserve that?😠😡🤬

She was a psychopath
Moral of the story: NEVER EVER rent room(s) in your home or on your property 😖
Or live as a tenant with total stranger... My landlord was mentally unstable under therapy which I didn't know at the time. One day, she left me out of the flat, in my pyjamas, and went to my room, throwing my things around. All I could hear from the outside her crying without letting me back in.
I dont think that IS a solution.
@@Geewhizzy it certainly IS
Laura will have to be kept in the lock castle with a mask, straitjacket, and a chain for eternity.
And in the attic just like in the 1800’s
I was worried she wasn’t going to figure out the apples at the end whew
This is an excellent movie I enjoyed it!!!
Mental illness is real!! I was so mad when Patti didn't fight back hard enough at first but it's shocking to deal with someone like that and at the end when she asked her to hold her I cried because I have a nephew with mental illness and they make you both angry and feel bad for them 😢😢
Very true
Very true. I remember when this film debuted & it disturbed me in a strange way. Its shocked me the way the law was on the side of the disturbed person & NOT the owner! I hated that she killed the woman's cat....but also hated that she retaliated by killing Romeo the mouse. I know that people can escape your radar, but this young woman acted REALLY bizarrely from almost the beginning, even before she agreed to let her move in. There has to be easier & safer ways to pay the mortgage than rent to strangers.
But the ending made me cry....& still does. Because the disturbed young woman was indeed mentally-ill & was dying....kudos to the older woman for having the compassion that the young woman did not.
Good scenario The landlady and the tenant are good actresses I like this movie. Thanks.
All these people saying "oh just evict her, she's crazy" America has shit laws that protect the renter even squatters rights. You can be kicked out of yr own house with a restraining order.
Renters have very few rights if they rent legally.
@@cathybassett6432. Normal renters, this is a psycho. And, even with leases reviewed by legal counsel and signatures, it is VERY difficult to to evict people.
I must agree. I warned my own neighbors about this: Its insane how many rights people can have if you let them stay with you......& I am not even talking about LEGAL renters! You can experience a problem if you allow the person to get their mail where you live! It actually establishes residency!
So if you allow someone to stay with you, MAKE SURE THEY GET A P.O. BOX!
Otherwise it could be disastrous.
@@cathybassett6432 It depends on the state & the lease. In my state, it can take a minimum of 90 days to 6 months to evict someone! Its ridiculous. Even if you are not a legal renter, the squatter's rights here are ludicrous. Allowing the person or persons to get their mail delivered in your home ESTABLISHES RESIDENCY! Just say no!
An old English law re squattets rights. It make no sense to me at all.
My best friends mother, whom I loved dearly, is a doppelganger to Lindsay Crouse.
Do not move strangers into your home, my mother did this after the death of my father with the intention of making a little money to supplement her widows benefits. Crimes were terrible crimes were committed against me, and my mom. People stole everything my father worked for on top of the other crimes. I still suffer to this day over what happened. Better off to get a job anywhere, go to church, community get together, volunteer for something, get a pet, anything, just please don't move strangers into your home.
I had bad experience I can understand this woman well . I had to kick a woman out with 20 people as evidence what she did to me I was helping her out I only said for little while I tell you never trust to let anyone in your home . In reality things like this actually happen. I had good supportive friends better live alone then with a nightmare .
How can we live in a society where someone rents someones home and get away with crap n psychos everywhere
Oh god. Just past halfway through and was not prepared for that. Excellent movie, excellent acting, they don't make them like they used to.
I was getting so angry watching this lol.. I had to remind myself it’s just a movie. But she took way too long to start fighting for herself. Good movie tho.
If this woman started fighting for herself sooner, what any sane person would do, there wouldn't be a movie.
@@wasdaddanTrue!🤣🤣😂
Same here...
Same hère. Angrier and more stressed out by thé minute . Thé end too made me mad. I sure wouldnt bé taking put thé needle or " holding her'
So was I 😅
great movie finally!!!!!! old movies always have good actors!!!
We are glad you enjoyed it!
No wonder so many people are alone and lonely
People renting a room and expecting the tenant to keep away of certain areas without locks. Good luck! Very few people respect such rules.
Seriously one of the best landlord/tenant suspense films ever made! The tenant made my blood boil. Acting from both ladies was superb, and the writers were clever but kept it all believable. The line at the end when she says "I can't catch a break.." was a great finishing touch to the story! 5 stars!
Great review..I absolutely loved the movie❤
My mother and I are going through this right now with a tenant. He is scary beyond belief and we pray we can get him out and that he will not come back to hurt us. Crazy just like this woman.
@Films 4 You
8 out of 10 movies I absolutely love!
Great selection.
Thank you!
from Australia
My significant other told me if you pull a knife on someone you better start using it or they'll grab it from you, which is exactly what happened in the opening scene! That's solid advice!
I love these movies where the roommate turns out to be a psycho!
Very scary , I wouldn't let anyone to my home. Don't trust.
I've never heard of any of these actors but they were all so professional. Great editing, camera and sound. Was this made for Cable or network TV? Well done, good script and acting.
Actually the blonde woman is in lots of tv shows, had straight hair before.
I'm getting my PHd in Lifetime movies 🎥
Lol 😂🤣 So am I!
Me too
This is so funny, but you most probably could, for real. Which is not funny.
Please reserve a spot for me 😂
Lol 😂😂😂
For some reason, I've had an addiction to old made-for-tv movies the past few days. Normally, I don't even like watching movies anymore. It's weird.
The scariest is not knowing who someone really is.
I remember laying in bed on Lifetime Sunday's watching this movie w/ my mom
It doesn't get any better than that
@@YeaItsMe21Wholeheartedly agree.I miss my Mum .😢
"LYING" in bed; not "LAYING,"
I am extremely against harming innocent creatures in labs or any way shape or form! That scene grieved me along with all the other disturbing parts of this movie
Ugh narcissistic psychopath reminds me of a past mentor who put me through horrid abuse and gaslighting
That lady needed to be disallowed to live unsupervised and unmedicated. People like that should not be permitted to live on their own in society! Personal experience with an ex who lived on his own and ultimately, allegedly molested my daughters friend and ended up in jail at which time I divorced him.
Lifetime began the squatter renter movement. I love this movie.
There are some people who claim to love animals but do x have a ounce of care for people. Strange...
She didn’t care about animals she killed a cat
Another great movie is House of Games. She plays a psychiatrist who comes to the aid of a compulsive gambler. It's a mystery thriller.
I love that movie❤
Bubble bath, candles, glass of wine:
bath time in the movies!
Exactly, lol, who in his right mind would light up 30 candles to clean up the mess afterwords in the bathroom!
I never understood the whole wine/books/candles/ even food in the bathtub. Why would you snack whilst bathing??? I tried reading a book once like they do in these films & all I did was get bubbles splashed on my book. No fun!
@@taracollins5597 It can't last long as well - water and bubbles cool off quickly -
so you get a spoiled book, cold and a little drunk... AND not even really clean!
@@AnnabelleJARankin You're right about the bubbles vanishing & definitely water-cooling! Not to mention most tubs leave half-the-body out of the water lol...what idiot designed standard tubs?!!! Or was everyone 4' 2" feet tall back then?? But actually I learned one does get basically clean, because most bubble-baths are made with soap! :)
@@taracollins5597 Hugs 🤗 from where I live in Malta!
What a great film!
The gaslighting and psychological manipulation portrayed was very realistic. I felt so sorry for the lady who owned the house, and could imagine how she was left dealing with her unbalanced lodger. Brilliant acting throughout!
I watch these movies and wonder why anyone would rent a room or want to be a landlord. It's not worth it.
An outstanding thriller with a great plot and actors
It's a wonderful movie thanks for sharing💙💙💙
Not a good idea too move a stranger into your home.its like inviting door number 3 into your home ,u dont know them and dont know what your getting.
I do not want
a roommate
Invasion of
Privacy for me
NEVER EVER EVER BRING A STRANGE IN YOUR HOME. There’s others ways to help.
Such a good movie,it taught me to never to rent a room out no matter how bad you needed money.
WOW, great movie. Glad that wonderful lady made it out safe. The younger girl needed help and the doctors should have been more on top of things for this young girl. She did this to herself , but should have gone to the doctors like she was suppose too! GR8 ending!
2nd time i watching this EXCELLENT 🎥 its a MUST WATCH ❤
Very interesting movie.
Thank you for watching
So are we going to ignore that the mother and daughter kissed on the lips in the beginning 😂I mean maybe that's their thing but it was just off putting for some reason.
Very scary situation 😨
Having person in
my home would make me
uneasy
This movie has the most number of stupid characters - The landlady, the daughter, the husband, the police, the lawyer, the judge, the guy from laboratory. So annoying to watch.
😅
Great one, great story line. Thank you.
This actress used to play psycho roles in every mo😮vie she made , I wonder if she’s really like this
lmaoo i wouldnt be surprised
Probably.
LOL In real life, she's a weirdo who goes around claiming to be psychic, and was twice accused of kidnapping her children away from her ex. So you might be on to something!
The disrespect of ol girl was wild lol.
Two movies i know this girl came in she’s the crazy girl 🤣🤣… The Wrong Girl, in 1999 and this movie 🤣

Someone thinking they can take your stuff, is sickening!
The cat scene 😭😭😭😭
What great acting. Thanks for the upload.
What happend with the cat? I cant watch it ifs bad 😢🐈
Tenant from hell drowned him.😡@@maritkristianehauganwick7721
@@maritkristianehauganwick7721same here!
It is 2023 we won't even put a "WELCOME" anything outside no telling what would happen or who would take it serious , we prefer "BEWARE OF OWNERS" the dogs are for cuddles !!!!
I never would have been so kind at the end. I would have left the needle in and laughed
I know this is a movie, but the daughter & ex husband were real pieces of work and not supporting her p*ssed me off.
The fact that tenants have more rights than the homeowner makes me feel nauseous.🤢🤮
What's more scary is that there's sickos like this out there IRL.
What did the 🐈 do to deserve that?😠😡🤬
One thing landlords can do is raise the rent to get someone out.
@@Shelly-m5tnot if it’s rent controlled
Poor kitty 😢
