Lifetime releases new thriller ‘Sinister Surgeon’: How to watch, where to stream free

The brand new thriller movie Sinister Surgeon premieres on Lifetime Sunday, April 6 at 8/7c.

Sinister Surgeon follows Dr. Katelyn Harken (played by Samantha Neyland Trumbo), a young doctor fresh out of medical school who snags her dream job working alongside one of the top cosmetic surgeons in the game, Dr. Peterson (Anthony Montgomery).

When patients end up passing away under suspicious circumstances, Dr. Harken begins to suspect Dr. Peterson may be secretly murdering his patients, causing the dream job she’s waited ages for to turn into a disturbing nightmare.
