I love a good thriller and when I learned about The Widower based on the true and haunting story of Malcolm Webster, I couldn’t wait to watch it. A product was provided for this post. The story is my own.
The Widower
In 1993, Malcolm and his first wife Claire (Sheridan Smith) have their dream wedding, only a year later she’s dead, a victim of a tragic car accident. Four years later, completely broke, Malcolm starts anew in New Zealand with his second wife Felicity (Kate Fleetwood).
However, on their wedding night, Felicity feels unusually groggy and for the next year suffers from unexplained blackouts. Soon, she pieces together small clues and realizes the death of Malcolm’s first wife may not have been an accident after all.
When Malcolm disappears and resurfaces in Scotland, Felicity begins a desperate race against time to convince a Scottish detective (John Hannah) that her husband is in fact a cold-blooded killer – lining up wife number three.
The Widower contains three separate episodes for a total of 3 hours of programming. I honestly did not want to stop watching them after I started. It was so easy to get drawn into Malcolm’s life and wonder just what he was going to do next. The way his mind worked was absolutely fascinating and I kept hoping that one of his wives was going to catch him before it was too late. Once Felicity started becoming aware of what was going on, the movie was just impossible to stop watching.
If you’re looking for a movie that will keep you glued to your seat with anticipation, The Widower is definitely it. I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys British programming or thrillers in general.
The SRP for the DVD is $29.99 and $34.99 for Blu-ray. The program will also be available for digital download.
Ellen is a mom of a 25-year-old son and 30-year-old daughter. She is Grandma to one adorable toddler. In what little spare time she has, she loves to read, watch movies, and check out the latest toys and games.
I’ve watched the same plot on real shows like Dateline for example, and can’t believe someone would do such a thing to a spouse. Eventually, they always seem to slip up, even if it’s decades later. Lots of work to find the evidence and amazing how cold cases come back to life with this topic. This one sounds good.
It really is fascinating, Deb!
