His Fatal Fixation (2020 TV Movie)
8/10
The Many Faces of Lilly Abrams
30 January 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The face of Lilly Abrams incited her stalker, Spencer Morgan, to murder her boyfriend, Jason Dunn. Believing that Spencer is dead, Lilly starts a new life by taking a new name, Stella Gordon, and recovering her old face after an ugly scar from Spencer's knife wound.

The dramatic tension of "His Fatal Fixation" derives from the uncertainty about whether Lilly/Stella is delusional and keeps seeing Spencer as part of her imagination. Or, is he still alive and continuing to stalk her?

The characters in this film were exceptionally well developed. My favorite was Danny, the fun-loving caretaker of Stella's apartment. After Stella has successful surgery performed by Dr. Michael Marlon, Stella becomes smitten with him. But when Joyce, the kind PA, is murdered and Dr. Marlon's associate, Brandon Caden, winds up in the hospital with a coma, Stella is implicated in the foul play. As the drama unfolds, Danny always seems to provide a breath of fresh air in the tension-filled environment.

The methodical Detective Davis is carefully studying the case and interviewing the different parties linked to the Infinity Beauty Surgical Clinic. There was good suspense in the questions raised about the auto accident of Claire, Dr. Marlon's wife.

It was not until the final scene that the revelation finally came to vindicate Lilly/Stella. There was a terrific performance by Sarah Fisher, the actress playing Lilly/Stella, who is becoming a Lifetime fan favorite. With the excellent scripting and fast pace of the film, "His Fatal Fixation" unravels the mystery of many faces both literally and metaphorically as it keeps the audience guessing right up to the finale.
