Blind River

I think this film is the first of many really well written and produced films from Carissa Stutzman. I heard this was her first film, and I was thoroughly impressed. Furthermore, the lead and supporting actors: Annalise Basso (Clair) and Tracy Campbell (Beck) were EXCELLENT! I would love to see them both in far more films. Well done! There are far more things I could say about the film - compliments are many - but there is one thing I didn't like, which was the abruptness of the ending. No Spoiler - but it ended too quickly for my liking. I thought it could have been more thought through and drawn out for climactic excellence.

'Vanished Out of Sight' stands out for its strong writing, directing, and execution, but what truly elevates it to another level is Tracy Campbell's incredible performance. From the moment he appears on screen, he commands attention with a presence that is both effortlessly natural and deeply compelling.

His portrayal of Beck is masterful, bringing a level of depth, emotion, and authenticity that makes the character feel real and unforgettable.

A powerful and captivating film, 'Vanished Out of Sight' delivers a truly unforgettable experience. If you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favor and watch it-you won't be disappointed.

This was a solid film overall, it would definitely do well on any streaming platform. Easily one of the best Lifetime movies airing on the network thus far! I'd watch it again, the acting was really grounded! And the cinematography as well as the score were pretty fantastic. Surprised that it ended up on Lifetime but either way it goes it was a really good film!

This story of a mother's passion to find her child regardless of the obstacles draws you in quickly and doesn't let you go. Annalise Basso is the most believable blind person I've ever seen on film. Her relationships with her boyfriend and those in her town are complex, intriguing and heartbreaking. Brilliant performance.

Well-paced and authentic story telling, powerful writing and direction by Carissa Stutzman.

Beautifully filmed with cinematography that unobtrusively makes the setting as much a part of the story as the characters. An excellent musical score adds to the atmosphere and tension.

The actors deliver powerful performances, especially Basso, Stephen Ogg, Jay Hugley and Tracy Chapman. The history of Claire (Basso) and Walker's (Ogg) characters unfolds over time and is believable and powerful.

Blind River is a riveting and suspenseful masterpiece that grips you from start to finish, and Tracy Campbell's outstanding performance is the beating heart of the film. Campbell portrays his character with remarkable depth, seamlessly blending emotional vulnerability with unshakable strength. His raw intensity and nuanced delivery create an authentic, compelling presence that draws viewers into the story's tension-filled world. The film's sharp storytelling and expertly crafted twists are enhanced by Campbell's ability to command every scene he's in, making Blind River an unforgettable cinematic experience. This is a must-watch for anyone who loves character-driven thrillers.
