Boy in the Attic (2016)

The boy in the attic hits on girl from across the room in a restaurant.
 Another Lifetime channel movie. A 31-year-old teenage girl and her 41-year-old mother go to clean out her late grandmother's house. The girl keeps hearing strange sounds. She thinks the place it haunted. It turns out there's a young man hiding in the attic. He's not up there all the time. He goes out and wanders around, but he sneaks back in at night and clomps through the house wearing boots. 

It didn't make sense because he hangs around town all day but is hiding in the attic because he's wanted for killing a guy and the local sheriff has vowed to murder him if he ever catches him.

Filmed in Vancouver.

Reminded me of the old made-for-TV movie Bad Ronald. Teenage Ronald (Scott Jacoby) accidentally kills somebody so he and his mother create a hidden room for him to hide in. She dies and new people move into the house, but he's still in there becoming more and more unhinged.

Probably better than the other Lifetime movie I watched, but it wasn't very good. The kids try to flee in the grandmother's old Lincoln Town Car. The guy get the idea that he should switch license plates with another car, but that doesn't help unless the car is the same make and model. He stole a license plate off a Kia.
