Girl in the Shed: The Kidnapping of Abby Hernandez

I had high hopes for this movie. I really thought it would portray what the actual victim went through. The movie really did Abby a disservice. The movie doesn't show any sexual assault. No we don't need to see this in detail but they didn't even hint at it. There was one scene where she got shocked but other than that it the movie makes it like she was just abducted and friends with her abductor. We know she acted like his friend to plan her escape but the movie massively fails on what the victim actually went through. I would rather just have watched a documentary about it. This film was pointless to watch and kind of boring.

I've seen better acting in dramatic re-enactment shows on ID Channel. It's laughable.

Corey Matthews, what the hell man. Dumbfounded.

Are we seriously supposed to believe this 30 year old woman with bags the size of Texas under her eyes is actually a 14 year old child??

I'm sure there is a stellar dateline episode on this story that would blow this dumpster fire of a "movie" right outta the solar system.

Anyone associated with this train wreck should be blacklisted and lose their SAG card immediately.

Let's see... how many other ways can I insult this deplorable production until I meet the character limi...

Ben Savage gave a very good performance as Nate Kibby, the kidnapper. Again, it is hard to believe he was the the sitcom "Boy Meets World'

The other actors were good as well, especially Lindsay Navarro who played Abby, and. Erica Durance who played Zenya.

While watching this I couldn't believe what I was seeing, yet it actually happened (another movie this reminded me of is "The girl in the Basement").

This was a good watch, yet painful.

8/10.

The emotional and psychological abuse are toned down so much that it almost appears like a friendship. There is no indication of sexual abuse at all which completely removes the harrowing experienced the victim endured. The only point of interest was the mother's ordeal in dealing with the FBI. Taming the experience so much does such a huge disservice to such a frightening abduction. How could the real victim have been involved with this presentation?

I went to high school with Abby and was shocked by how inaccurate this entire movie was. I feel like the just took the general idea and made a entire different story for the movie. Absolutely horrible movie. I don't think the producers or writers have ever stepped foot in Conway as the entire look of the movie is off as well. Nate also had neighbors and people nearby which wasn't clear in this movie at all. I can tell Abby had nothing to do with this movie as it's completely off. Hopefully she got some money for it otherwise what was even the point of this horrible movie. Also cute how big they seemed to think the town is.
