    I get the message but this was trash

    The daughter was a brat the first ten minutes she didn't do anything but have an attitude. The mom was clueless the only person with some sense was the brother. Lifetime could've done better with this movie it also played out very slowly took a while to get to the point. The cops were the usual slow moving lifetime cops who don't have a clue and really don't try to help. I just kept watching like (-_-) . Sad what happened but they all got on my nerves. It was very corny but show it to your pre teens it'll make them second guess talking and meeting up with strangers if you can get past the cringe.

    A Sock Pocket and a Tor Onion!

    This film takes a sobering look at the so-called Dark Web, and it becomes highly technical with such terms as "sock pocket" and "Tor onion." In the placid community of Haverbrook, an unsuspectiing fifteen-year-old is kidnapped by a deranged "catfisher," who streams her period of captivity to a psychopathic clientele on the internet.

    Young Krissy Meyer is the victim of the kidnapping. Her devoted mom Mo and her loving brother Robbie desperately assist the FBI in discovering the whereabouts of their loved one.

    There is nothing I can add to the review of user "Chartreuse1," who has provided a superb recap of this powerful film. One of the points made by the reviewer was that the cast was entirely British. It was a amazing to observe how successfully the actors adopted American accents for members of the Haverbrook community.

    Poor Acting

    The message it's portraying is clear and shows the horror of social media. How they can safeguard the internet appears to be impossible. It's scary to know that children can easily be manipulated and believe everything at face value. Evil people prey on the vulnerable and these days, they have the tools to make it easy for them to carry out their depraved crimes.

    So yes the film opens your eyes to the fact, in my opinion the acting in this film is dire! The characters didn't portray any genuine emotion, it wasn't gripping, it was a plodding beginning, middle and end film but happy of course she survived.

    No point in being optimistic despite reviews

    I saw the many bad reviews and despite them still gave the movie a chance, I wish I didn't. I want my hour and twenty seven minutes back, the last 6 minutes are the only interesting parts of the movie and it just ends in the most disappointing way. The whole cast of the movie can't act apart from agent fry. It's inspired by true events yet it's filmed in such a way that you can't help but think that it's fiction, there's serious lack of emotional connection to any character whatsoever. The mother and daughter are both as naive as each other and it's incredibly infuriating. Don't waste your time.

    Well I would of escaped

    Good film showing the results of the new generation not respecting the parents and the parents knowing the worst of life but finding it hard to relay to their kids when surviving life is the most important thing to keep your family alive but they won't understand until they are parents themselves. All realistic to a point but Kristy is literally in buckle restraints on separate wrists in front of her body, so she could literally undo them and run away, even Matthew Marsden said the line that the kidnapper has not restrained her properly. Maybe that was a nod to the film makers not being realistic or just because they couldn't afford to use zip ties at the time but I feel they wouldn't of used that intentionally as we would all try and escape. But overall a good film showing that you think your kids are safe with them not being outside among the danger we know is out there but actually the danger is literally at their finger tips inside your own home.
