    Bad bad bad

    The movie was ridiculous! So many stupid things happened! Sooo predictable! LMN has to do better!

    Worst film ever!!!

    I think I just saw the worst film in my entire life. Stupid script, very very very bad acting from everyone on this lame film especially from the mother. Not just a B movie.. a Z movie.

    Wish I hadn't wasted the time

    Audio throughout movie so bad in parts that it was impossible to hear the dialogue, which meant missing out on some of the plot. But even with good audio, still a bad boring flick. I'm not fond of child abduction movies anyway, and this one only enhanced that opinion.

    The lead girl - the Melissa character - was so short that she looked odd holding the baby/toddler and it was even more apparent that he was too big for her to hold in the utility office scene when she was trying to get her electric turned on - I lost count of all the times in that one short scene that she had to hoist him back up to get a better grip on him since he kept sliding down towards the ground because he was just too heavy for her to hold longer than a minute or two.

    Only two good things I can say about this movie:

    * the best acting was done by two of the worst, most unlikable characters with very little screen time: Dylan and Kaylene.

    * there was a creepy, unsettling tone throughout, from beginning to end, that keeps the audience uncomfortable and on the edge of their seat.

    All in all, I wouldn't recommend it.

    3 out of 10 / Grade D

    Terrible

    Story was pretty lame. Nothing that we haven't seen before. I had just one comment basically... Why in HEAVEN'S NAME was there not a more extensive audition process for the kid's role. He kept looking towards the camera which proved to be absurd. It actually detracted from an already weak storyline. Strangely I sat thru the entire story....perhaps morbid curiosity, perhaps the "eternal optimist that lives inside me, I held off from deleting this excuse for a movie and made it to the end. Urrrghh. I could have been unloading the dishwasher and got an early start on my evening.

    Adored this Film!

    My little girl, Gracie Gillam, has done it again! A spotless perfect movie about a young mother and her son, Ryan, at a cabin uninhabited until Ryan gets immediately kidnapped! Mwah! Gorgeous! Gracie rocked my world in Teen Beach Movie and Teen Beach 2 as the sassy, feisty, spunky, cute, adorable, spotless, precious, beautiful, cutie-pi-esh, and gorgeous Lela and now she's doing it again! I adore this little girl and to see her as young mother Melissa sparked a fire in my heart. Heaven's Little Lamb lights the way in this beautiful, yet sinister, movie! And what's with all the negative reviews? If I were you negative people, I would stop what I'm doing and put a positive review in here. Although I had to admit, the kid who was playing Ryan was cute! He sounded just like Baby Yoda.

      Sarah Durn's debut.
    • Goofs
      When Melissa goes to see Zach at the hardware store, she almost hits someone on the sidewalk when she pulls in to park in front of the store. But later, when she is leaving, a parking barrier is clearly seen in front of her car. That would have prevented her from going forward far enough to hit anyone on the sidewalk in front of the store.
