condition or something?) Hayden Panettiere, and Riele Downs(!) and an
almost unrecognizable Joey Bragg - so this was somewhat of a "child
actors" reunion flick.
-a-a Anyway, this was OK - poking fun at and satirizing "influencer culture". But the special EFX, such as they were, were almost The Asylum-level poor (pretty much all of the rabid dogs appeared to be
CGI!), which kind of detracted from the proceedings.
-a-a This flick is a way to pass the time I guess, but the much better Currey/Gardner flick to watch is 2022's "Fall".

there has been no movement in producing a third movie or even talking

Maybe the (re)airings on Lifetime will breath life back into this series
and get them to do the third one.

Shudder (horror) movies available - IIRC, that's how I saw the Jessica Belkin horror flick "Last Straw".

The Stepfather (4K disc) 1987 horror movie starring Terry O'Quinn as a psycho killer who as the movie opens has just wrapped up murdering his family and moved on to a new family to live happily ever after with.
Unless of course they don't live up to his standards, then he'll have to murder them and move on to a new family. At first everything is pretty
good until the stepdaughter starts to notice he's giving off weird
psycho murder your whole family vibes. And this upsets her. The movie
ends with The Stepfather getting shot twice and stabbed in the chest.
So I guess there won't be any sequels.

The added advantage, if you are interested, is that AMC+ also has
Shudder (horror) movies available - IIRC, that's how I saw the Jessica
Belkin horror flick "Last Straw".
The Stepmother has my favorite redhead, Katherine Justice, nudly naked.

She is welcome to do a nude scene anytime anywhere, well, maybe not

weight loss like too many other actresses. I want her to look like a
woman.

I watched the entire season and it's worth watching. Sadly we won't be getting a second season.
There's always the option to catch the episodes on the gray.
