KNIFETIME is a series hosted by Allyson Spina where we revel in the cheesy glory of a bad Lifetime Original Movie! Featuring a special movie-specific drink special and wisecracking commentary from local comedians, this FREE one-of-a-kind event is the 2024 winner of St. Louis Magazine’s A-List Award for Best Movie Night!

This month, Ally will roast mid-aughts Fatal Attraction rip-off THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR with special co-host Ella Fritts!

Donna Germaine (Barbara Niven, Stranger in My Bed) has a secret, she murdered the man she was having an affair with when he decided he didn’t want her anymore and was returning to his wife. It is why she leaves Kansas and heads across country to live with her aunt, Grace (Linda Darlow, Beyond Obsession). Unsurprisingly it doesn’t take Donna long to become infatuated with William Costigan (Perry King, The Perfect Wife), the handsome executive who lives next door with his wife, Jeannie (Susan Blakely, Crash Point Zero), and daughter, Trish (Lila Bata-Walsh). And as Donna cooks up a scheme to seduce William she is convinced she can steal him as she not only learns that a few years back William and Jeannie had marriage issues but she can see that William isn’t averse to some flirting, especially with his attractive new assistant Ashley (Anna Silk).
