As much as I hate to admit it, Lifetime movies have become a guilty pleasure of mine. Something about them is simply addicting. The more that I watch them, though, the more I realize that all Lifetime movies have quite a lot in common. It really is true, and here is why that is the case:

1. At least one person dies

Lifetime probably has a rule that someone has to die (more specifically, get murdered) in every one of their movies.

2. The flow of the plot is not much different from other Lifetime plots you've watched in the past.

It's a common belief that if you've seen one, you've seen them all. You know when and where the "surprises" will happen.

3. You know it's not that good but you can't stop watching.

It might be slow at times and you might think you have it all figured out, but something about it keeps you glued.

4. Someone who seems normal in the beginning ends up being absolutely insane

Don't be surprised- the kind, attractive, and charming individual you see at the start isn't so perfect after all.

5. Everything goes crazy in the last ten minutes

It seems like the movie is coming to a close. You think you know how it's going to end, but don't be so sure. There's almost always a plot twist right at the end.

6. The happy ending is hardly as perfect as it might initially seem

It might appear to be the ideal happy ending, but that is not always the case. Lifetime often pulls it's classic move: at the last second of the movie, the camera pans out and you see that the threat of danger is still there after all.
