Believe plot or not. Its just a fun movie. Regardless of storyline. Most suspense films that are creative are more interesting. Fear part 2 I call it. Low budget film kept me in it

This is one of the better LM's, nudity and language made it feel like an almost real movie. It did drag on around the end though. So although this was a bit long for me, it was better than some LM's. Worth seeing if you enjoy LM's. Your typical low budget where in 26:14 you can actually see the camera crew in the reflection of the house. Good acting though so it kept in interesting.

Do not watch this. Within the first few minutes, I wanted to vomit. I was utterly disgusted and hurt at the same time. It was so hard to watch this movie after that. Do yourself a favor and just skip this movie.

This movie is horrible and has a sick twisted perversion to it.

"Born Bad" was a by-the-numbers thriller that is driven by a character named Denny Nelson, who has a split personality worthy of Jekyll & Hyde. Denny exude charm for the family of Brooke, win their trust, and then turn like a dime into a psychopathic maniac. There is a defining moment in the film where the narcissistic Denny is staring at himself in a bathroom mirror, when Brooke's kid brother blunders in and catches Denny in the act of snorting cocaine. It is all downhill after that where the "dark side" of Denny emerges to disrupt the lives of Brooke's family. As the film progressed, it became less and less credible as the indestructible Denny is stabbed, shot, and pummeled, yet somehow remains standing. The filmmakers tried to achieve a note of redemption at the end with a happy family. But it is hard to eradicate the bad taste of the sleazy character Denny, oozing charm one moment, then turning into Jack the Ripper.

Denny (Michael Welch) is a psycho killer rapist. Brooke (Bonnie Dennison) is a moody teen with undefined step-mom issues. The two plots come together as Brooke must save her family against armed intruders with a kitchen knife and a frying pan. Denny is a nice smooth sweet talker, someone that would put Eddie Hasko to shame. However underneath it all, he is a Psycho rapist killer which was revealed in the first scene, so there was zero guess work where this was headed. Acting was fair in a plot that couldn't keep me engaged. Sex, rape, and nudity (Donnabella Mortel + one)

Okay confession time, I like lifetime movies especially the ones that are so bad that they are good. This movie was just bad and wired. Basic plot summary. Denny is more than your typical bad boy or abusive boyfriend. If he doesn't get his way it will cost you your life. Opening scene is r*pe then murder of one of his latest ladies. Then Denny meets Brooke. He charms her and of course in the beginning she thinks everything is great. Though he wasn't practically charming or nice. ANOTHER r*pe and murder scene of Brookes friend. Again, she wouldn't sleep with him which is apparently a reason to kill. The rest of the movie is just scenes of him losing his temper without much character development or explanation of his motive or why he's like this. In parts it seems like a cautionary tale to young women. Ladies if a guy screams at you, slaps you for asking a question, loses his temper quickly or calls your friend a s*ut get away . The rest of the movie is far fetched and unbelievable. Characters are also very dumb. IE.. don't hide between TWO clear glass railings..how was she not caught. But apparently the "born bad " guys are pretty stupid and don't check their surroundings properly and believe no one knows the safe combo. Surprise Surprise Brooke saves the day, her family and knocks Denny out with a single blow. And what should be an emotional scene at the end of the movie Brooke is just standing there arms crossed, then hugs her mom. Nothing about the scene indicated she was closed off or angry, so why the crossed arms? Was Bonnie Dennison (Brooke) just cold? Yeah skip this one folks

No votes as I have mixed feelings. The cast kept my interest. Especially Meredith Monroe who made it believable and touching on the family side. Papa is played handsome David Chokachi (Baywatch fame) and had very little to do but act tough and helpless. Each time he made an attempt to fix things he gets shot down. Wifey seems to do the work here. Then we have the obnoxious daughter played by Bonnie Dennison, who to me, was not the pretty thing worth all the fuss about. Kid brother played by Park Coppins cried a lot. Villains played by Michael Welch (over the top acting), Kaiwi Lyman (greasy idiot) and Carl Donaldson (a thug) were acceptable. Victims Donnabella Mortel and Tony Christopher had little to do but wait to get done in. And you waited for that to happen. Some of the acting kept me tuned in. Script was very predictable. You knew the ending in the beginning. Just had to painfully watch these poor actors deliver this dull uninteresting dialog. Not even the direction had any distinction. Too bad.

Born Bad is far from a good movie by any stretch of the imagination- from this viewer's point of view anyhow- but it also could have been much worse. It does at least have two good performances, Michael Welch who is chillingly effective(at least for two thirds of the movie) and Meredith Monroe who makes for a movingly sympathetic mother figure. The production values are competent also at least, and the beginning rape and murder scene was very graphic and disturbing(which did give the impression that this could be a decent movie if done right), Lifetime's other movies are tame compared to this one scene. The rest of the acting is not so good though, the worst case was David Chokachi whose acting as the father was dull and veering on overwrought. Bonnie Dennison also doesn't have very much to do other than be all doe-eyed and naïve. And while Welch is fine for most of Born Bad, the final act was where the movie really started to lose steam and his acting became rather over-the-top with a lot of his lines literally screamed. Everybody else never get a chance to properly distinguish themselves. The soundtrack is rather monotonous and heavy, it rarely gains momentum and generally it's dreary and unimaginative to listen to. The characters are characterised and written stereotypically and with little development to them, and relationships between characters seldom ring true, especially between Welch and Dennison. Not helping them much is that the script gives them little to work from, especially in the final act it's lifeless and unintentionally cheesy(especially in the melodramatic parts), "he looks like an alright guy" is such a clichéd and cringe-worthy line. The story had a promising start but meandered very quickly, if anything it was here where Born Bad let itself down most. It lacked any kind of atmosphere, thrills, suspense and even total engagement, was way too rushed and was more predictable- incredibly so, you pretty much knew how the movie was going to end when it started- and hilariously stupid(somebody actually gets shot in the stomach and then they seem okay afterwards? Bad continuity that is) above all else. The direction lacks character and comes across as flat generally. So all in all, has its moments with two good performances, a promising beginning and competent production values, but mostly predictable, stupid, rushed, lifelessly scripted and just un-engaging really. 4/10 Bethany Cox

While BORN BAD story-wise isn't better or worse than a thousand other Lifetime Originals, I liked one thing about it: the villain is motivated by just plain old-fashioned lust. This, in contrast to so many Lifetime villains who terrorize and kill because they've seen the original STEPFATHER movie and are obsessed with killing their way to the "perfect family!" Also, the filmmakers didn't stint on the action. Poor Meredith Monroe has to fight off three home invaders with her hands duct-taped part of the time, and with only minimal help from the rest of the family. Again, there's nothing original to be found here, but the pace is fast, the acting is vivid if never subtle, and the main guy playing the villain is enjoyably detestable.
