Need help with an older movie? Lifetime movie!?

Question

Well I believe I saw it on Lifetime. It is a movie where the little girl has an imaginary friend and really believe she does. The mother does not believe her but starts to suspect something when she hears sounds coming from the room. She goes to the neighbors house one night and has her friend watch the daughter. While in the neighbors house, the mother sees a secret passage way and follows it, right into the daughters room. The friend turns up murdered. I forget the rest of the end but does anyone know what movie I'm talking about? It's bothering me and I really want to know what it is!!

Answer 1

Are you sure it's a little girl, and not a little boy?  Because I remember a movie like that--where this tall, skinny, bald neighbor is sneaking into her house because he's obsessed with the mother, and hopes to win her over by winning over her son--or something.  And her friend ends up dying (I think he kills her with a bat, a lead pipe, or he strangles her), and...I don't remember the name of the movie.  Let me look around a bit, and I'll let you know if I find it.
