• Darkness

  Why do all these Lifetime movies have to be filmed in the dark even when they are in the houses? Why can't they turn on the lights?

• Loved This

  Enjoyed this WAY more than I expected. Well-paced, great performances, and very suspenseful. Some really surprising twists. This is a perfect little 90-minute popcorn thriller. Feels like the kind of movie Hollywood used to make a lot in the late-80s/early-90s.

• Superior lost son story

  If you think there have been lots of this type of story where a kidnaped child is reunited and turns out to be a psycho, well be patient this one is not that simple. When the wacko is revealed pretty soon, there must be a twist and this one turns out to avoid cliches and is very satisfying and quite plausible. The cast is good and give touching performances. Tammy Blanchard is a great actress and wouldn't be in a sub par movie. This is a step forward for Lifetime movies.

  This movie is dumb and predictable it's untrue. The twist was absolutely laughable. 1/10

  It seemed like a typical TV movie premise. Long lost son returns. Is it him or is there some sinister plot in play. And yes, that is the plot of the Wrong Son but what this film delivers was a surprisingly twisty thriller that keeps you second guessing what will happen next. Combine that with great performances from Olivia D'Abo, Dan Amboyer and Paloma Guzman and you get two hours of intense entertainment. I've already seen it twice and look forward more viewings! Definitely a rousing thumbs up!
