A divorced mom finds her daughter’s favorite influencer murdered after a mall event. Reporting suspicious behavior puts her family in danger, prompting her ex to take them to a snowy cabin. But the threat may be closer than she thinks.
Recap/Wine Thoughts
A blonde in a cabin is frantically looking for Bea, her daughter, when she is pushed down the stairs. (Which is Lifetime for DEAD!)
Two weeks earlier, we see a teen, Bea, taking a makeup tutorial on a live stream with an influencer named Izzy. Meanwhile, Bea’s parents, Jodie and Matt, are going through a messy divorce and arguing downstairs about child custody. (Jodie wants to move to Vermont, of all places.)
Bea wants to go to a mall event where hometown hero, Influencer Izzy, is making an appearance. (Like, she is Tiffany from the 80s.) Influencer Izzy is signing photos and has like three shirts for sale. That doesn’t stop a stalker boy with a crush from making a scene and running the event. Influencer Izzy is whisked away from the crowd, secluded in her dressing room, and attacked.
While Jodie drops off Bea for a sleepover at her dad’s, she bumps into Matt’s new girlfriend, Eve, and her teen son,Gil. (The stalker from the mall.) Gil brags about knowing Influencer Izzy and tells Bea how they used to be friends. (We get it, Gil, relax!) Bea later finds him sobbing in his bedroom. The teen boy is very emotional because he hears reports that Influencer Izzy was found dead in the mall.
Bea looks through Polaroid photos she took at the mall and asks her mom to help identify the potential killer. (Which Jodie is totally on board with?!?!) They identify a security guard who looks shady, meaning bald with a beard? Jodie calls in her lame suspicion to the police, and they tell her to come to the station to talk more.
Jodie and Eve go to coffee, and Jodie overshares. Jodie broke it off with Matt after he became a criminal attorney and brought his work home with him. The last straw was when Matt left his daughter at school, and Bea was brutally bullied. Eve is so understanding and friendly; her hair looks great.
An intruder breaks into Jodie’s home while she is asleep, and a struggle ensues. Bea isn’t home because she snuck out to an Influencer Izzy vigil. The police are not helpful. Matt shows up and invites Jodie and Bea to stay the night with him for safety.
While setting up the spare room, Matt and Jodie discover a serial killer wall dedicated to Influencer Izzy. Jodie is creeped out and catches Gil sneaking in late at night from a party with a bloody nose. Gil looks into the case online and tells Bea to stop the investigation before she gets hurt.
Gil is arrested for breaking into Jodie’s house. The police question Jodie, but she isn’t sure what his motives would be. The police have evidence, and Matt agrees that their investigation is sound. Eve is, understandably, upset because Matt thinks her son is responsible for Influencer Izzy’s death. Eve movies out, and Matt doubles down.
Matt takes his wife and daughter to a remote cabin, which is never a good idea, and claims it is for their own safety. It seems pretty obvious to me that he doesn’t want his daughter to move to Vermont and is planning on killing Jodie and making it look like an accident. (See falling down the stairs.)
Jodie doesn’t see it and thinks about rekindling a romance with her ex-husband. They play board games and have a nice dinner. Matt and Jodie talk about spending holidays together, but their romance is interrupted by Gil banging on the door.
Matt grabs a fire poker and goes to confront Gil. He ends up the one who is stabbed, and Jodie patches him up. Matt says Gil slashed their tires and ran into the woods. Jodie wants to walk for help, but it would be five miles in a thunderstorm, so they decide to barricade themselves in the cabin and wait until morning.
With the weather cleared up, Jodie sets out, leaving behind Bea and Matt. Bea finds Gil gagged and tied in the shed. Meanwhile, Eve finds Jodie and tells her that Gil has been cleared by the police due to a rock-solid alibi. Meaning, Matt is lying.
We are back at the stairs, and the man who pushes Jodie down them isn’t Matt; it is the bald-bearded guy from the Polaroid. Matt hired the criminal to break into the house and get rid of Influencer Izzy, all in a plan to keep Bea in town. Gil knew too much and had to be taken care of.
Jodie tries to record the admission with her phone, but Matt and the bald/beard guy catch her and tie her up, too. Jodie uses Mama Bear’s strength to overpower Matt. The police arrive, arrest the bad guys, and everyone is reunited. Eve and Jodie raise their kids together and are now lesbians, because men are the worst. Just kidding! They do get takeout and hang.
STRAY Thought
Matt and Jodie trying to put a fitted sheet on an air mattress was a funny stage business.
Gil wore the same shirt the whole movie. Someone take this kid to Goodwill for some thrifting.
Soccer! Not the typical sport of choice.
