When the death of her once-beautiful sister leaves lonely Laci (Linda Purl)'s grieving brother-in-law a newly-single husband and father, the disturbed woman's attempts to take her late sister's place in the marriage only lead to murder in director Douglas Jackson's bloody tale of wedding vows gone awry. Laci will do anything to make her dream of becoming a loyal wife and loving mother come true, and when her sister is killed in a tragic car accident, Laci quickly moves into her brother-in-law's home with every intention of fulfilling all her late sibling's many marital and parental obligations. When Laci discovers that the love of her life is making plans to marry another woman, however, the psychotic sister sets into motion a murderous plan that may find one wedding replaced by two funerals. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

25 years ago, Katherine (Linda Norris) put her son Jamie up for adoption. Now happily married to Greg Norris (Perry King), Katherine is surprised when a young man claiming to be Jamie (Andrew Kraulis) shows up at her door. Captivated by the boy's charm and honeyed words, Katherine and Greg welcome Jamie into their home, much to the disgust of her daughter Tara (Meredith Henderson) who senses that there's something not quite right about her supposed brother. How right Tara is: It turns out that Jamie, in cahoots with his sleazy girlfriend Delia (Sophie Gendron), has cooked up a sinister long-range scheme aimed at his "parents"--beginning with trying to induce a heart attack for Greg in order to collect an enormous insurance policy. The made-for-cable Stranger at the Door was first telecast by the Lifetime channel on June 21, 2004. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Professional journalist Lisa (Tracy Nelson) is certain that she has landed the perfect spouse when she weds the brilliant and charismatic widowed author Ty Kellington (Michael Riley). Only gradually does Kellington reveal himself to be possessive and tyrannical -- and only after Lisa's onetime co-worker Matt Thompson (Thomas Calabro) offers her a prestigious radio job does Kellington's dangerous side make itself known to both Lisa and her terrified sister, Beverly (Andrea Roth). Our heroine's access to her friends and family members is completely cut off after she injures her ankle in an accident, rendering her virtually captive to her increasingly unhinged husband. First broadcast in Canada in 2003, the made-for-TV movie The Perfect Husband debuted in the U.S. via cable's Lifetime channel on February 12, 2004 -- only to be hastily retitled Her Perfect Spouse to avoid confusion with another cable effort, The Perfect Husband: The Laci Peterson Story, telecast the very same week. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Thus, once his sight is restored, Jack finds himself in the crosshairs of two potential assassins -- the demented Bedelia, and the brother of the crook he killed. Several daunting surprises and unexpected plot twists await the protagonist of Blind Obsession, which was released to home video as Blindside before it was picked up for cable-TV play by the Lifetime channel in 2001. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Dr. Robert Seward (Perry King) is unable to save the life of a young cyclist who has been struck down by a drunken driver.

Plotting an intricate and elaborate revenge, Liza manages to get Seward to fall in love with her. Once she is married to the doctor, Liza sets about to ruin his reputation by killing off his patients. But the "heroine" has not reckoned with the resourcefulness of Seward's ex-wife (Michelle Greene).
