3/5

Montgomery brings visual poise to a pleasingly potboilerish wallow in toxic co-dependency.

3/5

This stylish, atmospheric thriller, powered by Simone Ashley’s performance, is worth a watch for the way it might make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up when you hear the sound of someone chewing screws.

3.5/5

This Tempting Madness is a stylish and engaging psychological thriller that works best when it keeps its audience uncertain rather than when it attempts to explain everything.

8/10

Cleverly executed and truly a rollercoaster, the film evokes a feeling that stays with the audience after the credits roll.

3/5

At heart it's a silly contemporary gothic melodrama with a clearly tenuous relationship to "actual events".

9/10

Ashley is the perfect audience mirror, showing our growing fear, paranoia and distrust. Mia feels caught between two worlds, a part of herself she just can’t access and part of her isn’t sure she wants to.

Like an average Lifetime movie/ CSI episode. I'd seen glowing comments online and thought I'd check this out but was really disappointed. The script was just not good. Too many of the twists felt incoherent and too much of the dialogue felt trite or like psychological babble.

How anyone gives this movie a poor review is beyond me! It’s fresh, a new take on abuse and mental illness, it’s captivating from start to finish, it’s clever, well cast, well made and I highly recommend it to anyone!!! You’re nuts if it doesn’t get under your skin and it will keep you wondering until the last scene. I’d even say this will become a cult classic in years to come. Which idiots gave it a poor review. This should be a 90% rating!!!!!!

A thoroughly captivating and stimulating movie! If you enjoy psychological thrillers or action movies with twists, this is for you. The acting is great: the lead actress is stunning and the supporting cast is convincing. I was engrossed in the plot and figuring out what the hell really happened. Definitely recommended!

My friend recommended This Tempting Madness. I walked out the theater with my mind blown. The cast performed phenomenally. Simone and Suraj nailed it. The cinematography was amazing. Highly highly recommended.

Wow! My mind is blown. Didn’t see that twist coming. And what a cast. This Tempting Madness makes me think the psych-thriller genre is back.
