Top 10 Lifetime Villainesses of 2022 (Part 1: #10 - #6)
Wow! This is my second year doing this list on Vocal, and as amazing as 2021 was, 2022 truly gave us some immensely memorable and awesome Lifetime film villainesses! I did have a devil of a time devising this list, as there were so many I could feature, so whittling it down to the top 10 was quite a task, but I managed to do it. Regarding this year's list, I decided to do something different this year. How different? Well, I can't tell you that. You'll just have to read on and see. One similarity: the top 1o list will be split into two parts, and Part 1 goes as follows:

Villainess Review: Brianna (It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Murder)
Weeks ago, I went on The Futon Critic (a site I've gone to for a long while regarding info on upcoming Lifetime movies), and saw this title for an upcoming film: It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Murder. I had to do a double take. A Lifetime Christmas thriller film?! Those don't happen. Granted, Lifetime Movie Network does air the typical thrillers while the main network celebrates the holidays with sweet-natured films. But I think this is a first: a Christmas-centered LMN film that is also one of our deliciously wicked thrillers! An absolute miracle!

Villainess Review: Wendy Bouchard (Fatal Family Reunion)
I was quite elated when I learned that this film, Fatal Family Reunion, would hit Lifetime Movie Network on Thanksgiving weekend, which has featured its share of amazing thrillers over the years. Another classic from Marvista, I learned about this film on their site a few months ago, and of course, it comes just two weeks after we were treated to one amazing villainess, and regarding this film, it also delivered.

Villainess Review: Tara (Mother's Deadly Son)
November is a familiar month for Lifetime movie fans such as myself; while Lifetime focuses on the holiday themed movies, we do get treated to the usual thrillers on Lifetime Movie Network on Fridays. In the case of the latest film, it was Mother's Deadly Son, which centered on Marianne Davis, a divorced mother of two who tragically became a mother of one, when her older son, Ayden Davis, tragically fell to his death off a the top of a rock mountain. Adding to the tragedy is the fact that Ayden's younger brother, Jacob Davis, finds himself accused of killing his brother, having spent two years being under the cloud of suspicion.

Villainess Review: Sofia Aquino (Alone in the Dark)
The hits just keep on coming from Tubi! After a Sunday filled with football, postseason baseball, and some good TV, I decided to head to Tubi to check out their latest original flick, Alone in the Dark. This latest Lifetime-esque film centers on Bri Collins, who is serving a year of house arrest due to being convicted as an accessory to crimes committed by her ex-husband, Michael Miller, though she was only charged out of Michael's spite. She does have a few things to help her deal with the 365 days she would be confined to her home; one is her good friend and lawyer, Sofia Aquino, and the other is Michael's wine collection.

Reviewing a Pair of Surprise Villainesses from "Francesca Quinn, P.I."
The date is September 25, 2022, I am still beaming over the Green Bay Packers' victory (as ugly as it was) over the Tom Brady-led Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and I complete my day by watching Hallmark Movies & Mysteries' latest film, Francesca Quinn, P.I., which stars Mallory Jensen in the title role. I remember learning about this film and beaming, because HM&M had been lacking on the mystery end lately. This was their first mystery film in five months, and their usual film series have been MIA. Another thing I couldn't help but notice was the casting; it was quite refreshing for me to see Mallory Jensen in a heroic role--in the few times I've seen her, she's played her share of evil roles on shows such as Galavant and Marvel's Agents of SHIELD.

Villainess Review: Jodi Byron (Dating Hell)
Fans of Lifetime films, such as myself, received a Thursday treat with this movie, Dating Hell, which centered on divorced mother Hannah and her attempts to get back in the dating scene. With the help of her good friend, Charlotte, Hannah's dating app profile has many hits, but her best match is Daniel, who runs a security business. They hit it off instantly, but as their relationship starts to develop, a masked intruder makes their way into the home of Hannah's neighbor, Kara, and murders her in her bedroom.

Villainess Review: Audra Simonetti (Babysitter's Nightmare)
Babysitter's Nightmare (aka Kill the Babysitter) was quite a memorable Lifetime film, mainly because of the villainess involved--as well as who was playing her. More on that later. After an opening scene that features a young woman being suffocated to death by a hooded figure, the scene quickly shifts to nurse Daphne Hart, who had been tending to (among other patients), a young boy named Mason; however, when Daphne's superior stepped away from Mason just for a brief moment, the young boy ended up taking a fatal turn for the worse.

Villainess Review: Joelle (Girls' Night Out)
It's been five years, yet I still remember Lifetime's film, Girls' Night Out--especially the surprise ending, but I'll get to that. This film centered on exactly what the title says: a girls' night out--namely a bachelorette party. The bride-to-be and main protagonist is McKenzie, and the women involved in the party are her former sorority sisters: Joelle, Rebecca, and Sadie, with Joelle planning the party. A night of wild fun and a lot of drinking is in the cards, but what wasn't in the cards was a vengeful vendetta enacted by McKenzie's ex-boyfriend, Brandon.

Villainess Review: Samantha Sloan (Are My Friends Killers?)
Like with most Lifetime films, I learned about Are My Friends Killers? months ago back when it had its original title, Secrets on Campus, and I had been eagerly excited for this film ever since. Yet another gem from Marvista Entertainment, the film opens with college student Lauren Price jogging, until she suddenly collapses and passes on. Her best friend, Zoey Connors, received the tragic news from Lauren's mother, and after the funeral service, Mrs. Price made an offer for Zoey: she would pay for a full tuition for Zoey to attend Woodford--the same college that Lauren attended--doing so in memory of her daughter.

Villainess Review: Paula Carter (First Class Fear)
First Class Fear (aka My Terrorized Teen) is a film I had been waiting for almost a year to see on Lifetime. I had seen so many other announced films get their premiere dates but this one was still up in the air. Finally, this film hit Lifetime, and it centers on Sophie Ellis, an intelligent student with good things headed her way, but it hasn't been easy, as she and her mother, Grace Ellis (a teacher at Sophie's school), have been barely getting by financially. Regarding school, both Sophie and her best friend, Emma Austin, have been dealing with the antics of Carolyn Carter and her clique, as Carolyn had created a website that basically cyberbullied Emma for (in Carolyn's mind) stealing her boyfriend, Jack, from her.
