    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Sequel to A Mother's Nightmare (2012).
    • Alternate versions
      On July 27, 2018, Lifetime Movie Network's re-airing of the film included a pair of alternate endings: -- #1 -- In the first one, after Matt's reveal as Amanda/Vanessa's father, Zofia appeared and revealed herself as her mother, while detailing everything that she had done in her mental state. The scene also included mother and daughter embracing each other, with Vanessa in tears as Zofia sung her familiar song (the same one Vanessa sings as an anthem to her psychotic actions). Similar to the original ending, Vanessa is arrested and back in a mental hospital, but the final scene shows Vanessa being visited by Matt, much to her pleasure.
