There used to be a time when watching Lifetime movies was my favorite pastime. This movie called Fatal Fixer Upper by David DeCoteau has a main antagonist named Josh, played by Duke Van Patten, who has something called Old, not the age-old kind, but it stands for Obsessive Lover Disorder. It’s pretty creepy because it means he’s way too obsessed with this woman named Vivian (Jasmine Aivaliotis). So, here’s the deal: Josh sells his house to a couple, Vivian and Ryan (Philip McElroy), after his fiancée, Catherine (Vera Lee), calls it quits. But from that point on, Josh’s fixation is all on Vivian, the new buyer of his house. He’s doing all sorts of crazy stuff to try to make her his, like spying on her with hidden cameras he has set up in his old house. Will Vivian and Ryan catch on to what’s happening?...

The film opens with a classic Lifetime cold open that immediately establishes that there is a bad man keeping an eye on things. His identity is quickly revealed as Josh Thomas (Duke Van Patten), the home’s original owner and the person spying on...
