Amazon Prime v Lifetime Movie Network

Props to Amazon Prime for changing the title to something that doesn't make you roll your eyes when you see the name of what LMN is airing while scrolling through your channel guide.

Empty Cradle Gone In The Night Mother, May I Sleep With Danger?

She Cried No She Fought Alone She Woke Up Victim Of The Night A Friend To Die For If Someone Had Known

Those are the movies I loved as a teenager because the titles reminded me of Christopher Pike & RL Stine books:

Swim Instructor Nightmare?

The Girl In The Basement?

Killer Stepmom?

Deadly Garage Sale?

The Wrong Blind Date?

The Wrong High School Sweetheart?

Deadly Dance Competition?

Seriously? Lifetime seems to have just stopped caring about creating titles that will entice someone to read the descriptions of the plots and watch. If Amazon Prime hadn't changed the title to Early Release I would have just rolled my eyes and chuckled at the original title before continuing scrolling. This is certainly a better movie than what LMN usually makes now. WTF Lifetime? Do you know how many people are missing out on seeing good movies because if the title sounds ridiculous - the movie itself probably is too.
