While the Children Sleep (2007) (TV)
Poor man’s Fatal Attraction, 9 June 2009
This version of a demented female who is out for the husband of another woman is so predictable from start to finish. In fact I selected the three people who would be sacrificed in the beginning. No surprise. I blame inept writing by Stephen Niver and bland performances for this. Sometimes it’s so silly and stupid you wonder how some of the people in this ever made it out the door.
William Moses once more plays the bland husband who not only doesn’t have a clue, but goes around denying all the accusations he’s got a nut case watching his children. He was perfectly cast as I have yet to see this actor show any level of emotion in any of his work. Add Gail O’Grady as his wife who also hasn’t a clue as to what is happening around her. She falls down the stairs fine and more than once. Duh. The kids played by Madison Davenport and Tristan Leabu don’t do too much except call for mommy and daddy throughout the movie.
I did like Stacey Haiduk as the friend of the wife. She at least had some moments and showed a bit of emotion. Joanne Baron also I liked but for her stupidity at leaving her house wide open for anyone to enter, and they do – enough said. Her kid played by a vacant headed Thomas Curtis didn’t do too much except ogle at the baby sitter. This is acting? Jon Lindstrom didn’t have too much to do., but did what he could with a thankless role. Good to see him work in anything, even this loser.
Finally we come to the baby sitter psycho played very badly by a Mariana Klaveno who I’ve never heard of. She was just plain awful in this. One expression of always pouting and glaring at everyone. She’s not a looker with a skinny body and flat chested and hard to believe anyone would even want to lust after her. The scene where she takes her top off for the kid next door to see was so funny as when she did, nothing was underneath to look at.
I give this a zero on all counts and good wishes to Lindstrom, Hiaduk and Baron in getting better scripts and parts. Sorry.
