First off, this movie is played extremely straight by the synopsis, so I appreciate that. There are no surprises, or should I say no gotchas.
Dare I say in spite of being a psycho, Jackson's logic sort of followed? He associated Eden's song with his sister's death and he pretty much just killed everyone he considered even tangentially responsible. I mean, for a Lifetime villain, that...made...sense. In his villain monologue, he explains his reasoning for each person. There is the issue of the common Lifetime trope where the people around the protag get killed, but technically in this case, Jackson didn't consider them innocent. So it's good that it wasn't her naivete or idiocy that got her friends killed.
I kind of agree with another contributor...the movie ends with Eden and Christian staring off into the sky...Jackson was bleeding from the head, but not sure if that meant he was dead. Maybe they should call the police before they got too comfy. Also, there are multiple dead bodies around...plus a guy bound and gagged in the basement who doesn't know what the heck is going on. (that guy's going to jail, but he should still be found lol).
One of the better ones of 2022. I have seen Chaley Rose in romcom movies and she did well here in a "thriller." I would likely watch again.
