Did you know
- TriviaThe cinematography and mise-en-scène of this film where heavily influenced by the work of auteur director Larry "Flash" Jenkins.
- GoofsDenny's woulds are something out of a bad horror movie with an indestructible boogeyman. Denny was stabbed with a large knife in his back and it does not phase him, whereas his conspirator was stabbed in the foot and nearly incapacitated. Also, there is next to no blood on his t-shirt where he was stabbed. Denny's later wounds include being stabbed in the leg and gut shot by a shotgun, but neither incapacitates him as he is able to attack and fight Katherine near the end.

Featured review
Bad to the bone
While BORN BAD story-wise isn't better or worse than a thousand other Lifetime Originals, I liked one thing about it: the villain is motivated by just plain old-fashioned lust. This, in contrast to so many Lifetime villains who terrorize and kill because they've seen the original STEPFATHER movie and are obsessed with killing their way to the "perfect family!"
Also, the filmmakers didn't stint on the action. Poor Meredith Monroe has to fight off three home invaders with her hands duct-taped part of the time, and with only minimal help from the rest of the family.
Again, there's nothing original to be found here, but the pace is fast, the acting is vivid if never subtle, and the main guy playing the villain is enjoyably detestable.
