Last month’s Lifetime film, I am Your Biggest Fan, focused exclusively on an abduction. This month’s pick, The Boy Who Vanished, explores the same kind of crime, albeit with a focus on the aftermath.
Writer Ken Miyamoto tosses the audience in the deep end right from the start. The film opens at night as a teen boy walks up to a payphone and calls the police, identifying himself as kidnapping victim Jack Reese.
It’s not until we’ve gone through the morning routine of Haley (Tegan Moss) and Richard (Matthew Kevin Anderson) that the couple’s connection to Jack becomes evident. They seem mildly overprotective of their young, pre-teen son Tyler (Kingston Goodjohn) and for good reason: when Haley and Richard meet with Detective Doyle (Vincent Ross) at the police station, it is revealed that Jack is their son…and he’s been missing for twelve years.

Early evening viewing of this one. It was sort of a time trip, or I thought it was. The eighties horror comes back to haunt us not necessarily the material that made some of that time interesting. Ashburn Waters (2019) is an Australian film that takes the ‘teenage camping’ film idea and forgets how to write in favour of either being funny, thinking the audience wouldn’t notice and it’s ok or woefully ignorant to what is implied.
Ashburn Waters (2019 is a low-budget slasher film that features some appalling moments in the script. These are appalling in a good way for a film of this nature making one think how a recent script can allow these moments. This film is what I call ‘frat boy’ style with guys drinking beer and scantily clad females around them to have sex with even if it’s so-called illicit.
