Hello again! Have you noticed recurring themes in these Lifetime movies I write about? Yeah, me too. I try pretty hard to find movies that aren’t the same old same old, which is why I don’t do many of the “woman meets man and thinks he’s great, but he turns out to be Bad” ones. But still, there are a lot of things that are Deadly, and a lot of things that are Wrong, and while the title is a new format, I realized halfway through that oh, no, this is another woman-held-captive story, like His Perfect Obsession or The Captive Nanny or Trapped Model or uhhh there was another one I think? Oh my god. KEPT WOMAN. Jesus. Okay. But! There’s an important distinction here, which is: this movie has an honest-to-god Oscar nominee in it. INTO THE ARMS OF DANGER stars Cathy Moriarty, from Raging Bull. That was her first movie! This is her 71st. I haven’t seen Raging Bull, of course, as I’ve never seen a real movie, but I think it’s safe to say there’s a decline. (Content warnings for kidnapping, a car crash, a brief threat of sexual violence, and an incest vibe, also this is a long one, click the title up top if you’re reading this in your email.)
