The 2019 TV movie ‘Deadly Hollywood Obsession’ is a film directed by Daniel Ringey and written by Patrick Roberts. The film centers around Casey Wright, a school teacher who is great at her job and quickly becomes the favorite of all her students. A famous Hollywood star called Sam Austin sends his son Jack to Casey’s school, and soon enough she becomes his favorite teacher as well.
Things go pretty well at first, but one fine day Casey comes across a woman who pretends to be Sam’s acquaintance and who is here to collect Jack after school. When Casey questions her, the lady tries to kidnap Jack by force, but Casey’s presence of mind disrupts her attempt. After this incident, Sam concludes that keeping his son at the school won’t be safe, and thus decides to home-school him. He asks Casey to come to his place to teach Jack, and after some deliberation, she happily agrees. Over a certain period of time, a romantic relationship develops between Sam and Casey. But what neither of them realizes is the fact that the woman who tried to kidnap Jack is actually a stalker of Sam’s. Now that Sam and Casey are close, all her wrath now befalls upon Casey.
Lifetime is quite famous for its TV movies, be it thrillers like ‘Deadly Hollywood Obsession’ or the range of Christmas films the network releases every year. The network films most of its productions in either Los Angeles or Vancouver, but considering the fact that this film is directly associated with Hollywood, chances are that the City of Angels is the place where ‘Deadly Hollywood Obsession’ was filmed.
