Girl in Room 13

This movie might be based on a true story, but like someone else said, the plot was poorly executed! The acting was terrible and every scene was predictable. There were a couple scenes where the victim could have easily escaped and it was like a bad horror movie. Instead of signaling for help or running away, she runs 20 feet and hides. Anne Heche made some great movies throughout her career and I can't believe she starred in this garbage.

Lifetime and Hallmark must have strict shooting schedules and a quota to produce so many movies a year. They need to slow their roll and start producing more quality content.

I cant believe I gave up prime time Halloween movie watching for this.

Bitter sweet considering,was one of the last tv projects of Anne's before her death.

That being said.. She didn't seem healthy,was it just me feeling this?

Granted was portraying a frantic mom,but seemed more substance induced.

Was a difficult subject matter that was portrayed,all the cast was decent enough.

I'm surprised the parents didn't go to the news channel,have the one social media savvy daughter post online & so forth.. It wasn't until many days later,they finally put up posters after the authorities didn't do much.

Felt maybe the storyline was lacking some context,but most of the acting carried things ok.. The previews made it more compelling.

Unfortunately have seen other movies,that brought said topic to light better.

Not a film interested in watching,again.. Despite Anne(RIP)being in it.

Grace (Larissa Dias) is staying clean after her latest rehab. Her mother Janie (Anne Heche) is supportive and hopeful. While doing a favor for a friend, Grace gets kidnapped by druggie former boyfriend Richie. She's locked in a motel room to be broken down for trafficking. Most think that she had fallen off the wagon again, but Janie is relentless in her search for her daughter.

This is one of those Lifetime woman-in-trouble movie. It's noteworthy for being one of Anne Heche's final roles. Elisabeth Röhm is also trying her hand in directing. She seems to be functional, but nothing spectacular. First, Grace needs to fight harder. It's more realistic and much more compelling to push the action. The movie needs to increase the intensity at every turn and this fails to do that. There are also too many dumb characters. I wonder how much money the motel workers are getting paid to turn a blind eye to the scheme. Whatever it is, it is not enough. He's even late for the motel rental. It makes no sense. This is not a smart movie. I get that her repeated drug uses have worn down the family. In which case, the story would work better if the dad is gone and Janie is truly alone. All in all, this is a Lifetime movie and not a good one at that.

I don't know why everybody seems to be down on Anne Heche for her role in this movie. I thought she did a great job portraying a mother who is frantically looking for her daughter and not getting help from the law. I wish though that they would've had, a bit more information in the movie about just how bad sexual trafficking really is. I did not like the fact that at the end of the movie they did not say what happened to the guy Richie or her so-called ex coworker Red. It's disgusting that women would be involved in something as terrible as sex trafficking, but hey, I guess money is all that matters to them. Besides the one rape scene at the beginning of the movie when Richie first took her into the hotel, I was a bit surprised that they did not show more men coming into her room, though usually the man who abducts the female is usually the one that will continually keep raping her over a period of days to break them down. Often those other guys are involved in the emotional, mental and sexual breakdown of the victim until they are sold. I don't know if that's why some people were disappointed in the movie, I'd hate to think that that was the reason. I know this is based on a true story, and I don't know how often the mother or the stepfather kept contacting the police, but the movie did seem like it was more about the mothers search for her daughter. I know that often hotels/motels are involved in covering up such a terrible thing, as well as other industries, and I don't know why more of a focus is not put on finding and helping victims. There are so many men that are such pedophiles and sexual perverts it is so disgusting, I sometimes wonder if there are vigilante people out there that take matters into their own hands because you sure don't hear about them.

Its a reimagining of a real story so a lot of fantasy fiction involved and the actors themselves couldn't pull off real emotion so its hard to like given the actors are acting and kind of poorly except the boyfriend actor he actually pulls off his role well but everyone else was probably a miscast as none really portrayed any feelings at all to me anyways.

I really feel plastic people are not very good at acting anymore. I think actors who could portray real emotion would have better suited here for the "drama" this film is supposed to be showing to everyone who is watchin it.

Its just disappointing as it could have been great had a few more decent actors been purchased.
