The plot revolves around Katrina (Koko Marshall) and Heath (Thomas Gipson) whose life turns upside down after Heath appears as he goes missing for days during a kayaking trip. As Katrina learns about her husband’s weird behavior, more gripping stories unveil what will change their life.
‘The Man With My Husband’s Face’ is quite disturbing and excessively thrilling based on themes of psychological upsetting and revenge. With a great storyline, the idea of this movie based on murder, revenge, and jealousy is quite compelling. The cast of the movie includes Koko Marshall, Thomas Gipson, Katie Page, Steve D’Angelo, Benjamin David Dennis, Courtney Humphrey, and others. Although many similar movies are already out there with more thrilling plots, Lifetime did a great effort trying to portray a perfect revenge genre but failed to add excitement that would have kept the viewers hooked.
