Along with its streamer competitors like Netflix and Hulu, Lifetime isn't shy about tackling true-crime stories on screen, ranging from Casey Anthony to JonBenét Ramsey. The network is again dabbling in the genre with the upcoming movie "Let's Get Physical," a story that is just as bizarre and unbelievable as it is true.

Ahead of the film's release on Oct. 15, let's dive into the real story that inspired "Let's Get Physical."

Stars: Magui Bravi, Luz Champané, Amparo Espinola, Clara Kovacic, Agustin Olcese, Amy Smart, James Wright | Written by Mauro Croche, Guillermo Lockhart | Directed by Victor Catala, Brian Deane, Oliver Lee Garland, Guillermo Lockhart, Tony Morales, Nicolás Onetti, Nicholas Peterson, Daniel Rübesam, Christopher West
[Note: With the film out next week in the UK, here’s a reposting of our review of The 100 Candles Game (aka 100 Candles) from its US release earlier this year]
Where to start with The 100 Candles Game? How about the fact this is actually yet another one of those direct to DVD anthologies made up of numerous unconnected shorts which are contained within a wraparound story filmed specifically for this release – think Zombieworld, Galaxy of Horrors, Battle in Space or A Night of Horror: Nightmare Radio. And its the latter anthology that is most connected to 100 Candles, as both films come from producer Nicolás Onetti; with A Night of Horror: Nightmare Radio‘s writer Guillermo Lockhart also directing here – namely the wraparound segment of the film.
