Girl in the Shed: The Kidnapping of Abby Hernandez

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.

Abby (Lindsay Navarro) is walking home one day after missing the school bus. Conspiracy nut Nathaniel Kibby (Ben Savage) offers her a ride. Zenya (Erica Durance) is her mother.

It's interesting that Ben Savage is doing this character. Actors, who play nice guys, often switch gears to do the evil role. Ben is fine as the creepy crazy nut. I don't know about the mask. Mostly, it's a standard Lifetime girl-in-peril movie. Apparently, it's a real story. I'm not going to look down on the story. It is what it is. The filmmaking is TV level with a few minor attempts at higher art. All these movies are pretty much the same unless the filmmaking can raise it up to Room. I don't expect more.

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...

I know this is a lifetime movie but i thought it would be more in line with a movie like Cleveland Abduction in terms of quality. For starters, the actress playing 14 year old Abby looks like and acts like shes at least 30 years old, does not pass as a teen at all. They couldn't cast a Latina/Hispanic actress as the mom? This played a big part in why many believed the real story to be a hoax/ just some teen who got pregnant!! Ben Savage cant pull off serious/dramatic roles, the relationship came across as friendly and at worst, weird, instead of horribly abusive and traumatizing. The secondary actors were typical run of the mill bad actors. They dont have to be explicit but there was zero indication of sexual abuse. I know the real abby is listed as a producer but i feel this movie does her story a disservice.

A mild movie that may not be true to the core and Abby's ordeal, but is nevertheless well-acted with gripping moments.

It flows well, is emotional enough, has some weak filler moments, doesn't depict the whole truth, obviously viewers are mad about it as to the real ordeal that Abby went through and I understand them.

Somehow and for some reasons it is depicted as such and that's the fault of everybody involved in the movie besides the cast. Foremost the studio that led the writers.
