Synopsis
A Mother's Nightmare (2012) is a TV thriller from director Vic Sarin that you can watch online on iFILM. When a high-schooler brings home a new girlfriend, his mother sees a polite, pretty, attentive young woman. That impression holds right up until the boy decides he wants out.
Jessica Lowndes plays the girlfriend, Annabeth Gish the worried mother, and a pre-Flash Grant Gustin the son caught in the middle. Rejection flips the girl into something cold and calculating — lies, manipulation, threats that drag a teenage breakup into criminal territory. It is the classic "dangerous girlfriend" setup that weekend cable channels have run for years.
No pretense of high art here: ninety brisk minutes built around a mother's mounting dread and the fact that nobody believes her in time. Tagged "teen love is a killer," it works for anyone who likes a thriller where infatuation curdles into a trap. Stream A Mother's Nightmare (2012) online on iFILM.
