Girl in Room 13

I almost didn't sit through the whole thing. The acting was poor by most of the cast, most of the time. AH seemed high and tweaking most of the film. There were multiple errors that should have been caught ie: It's a US location filmed in Canada and they said Social Insurance number (cdn) rather than Social Security number. Simple stuff. It's also an illogical script. For example, the mom doesn't put up missing signs until day 9?! There are multiple examples of this throughout the film. It just seems that nobody was really paying attention, to the story or to the production. I'm sad it's Anne's last film as she was so much better than in this film.

I had no idea who was in the movie when I started watching. Typical low budget tv movie producing. The odd thing was that after an hour, I was befuddled by the mother character. While I couldn't fault the actress' passion, her addled, frantic approach at first seemed like wild overacting, but after a while, seemed more like the antics of a drug addict... ironic since the movie is about a former addiction daughter. She didn't play distressed mother, she played... brain fried druggie. That's when I looked up the info on the channel info and saw it was Anne Heche. Wow... you can see how far gone she was... life intruding on art. The other actors actually seem surprisingly good, and they simply... act normally around Heche's crazy frantic acting.

Its a reimagining of a real story so a lot of fantasy fiction involved and the actors themselves couldn't pull off real emotion so its hard to like given the actors are acting and kind of poorly except the boyfriend actor he actually pulls off his role well but everyone else was probably a miscast as none really portrayed any feelings at all to me anyways.

I really feel plastic people are not very good at acting anymore. I think actors who could portray real emotion would have better suited here for the "drama" this film is supposed to be showing to everyone who is watchin it.

Its just disappointing as it could have been great had a few more decent actors been purchased.

I thought the film was simple and had a very strong message about human trafficking. Anne Heche was, imho great. This is what the films should be like. There was no mention of her in the In memoriam at the Oscars, which shows what Hollywood is all about.

This film is a must watch, it shows how to recognize the abuse, the victims, the turmoil. Victims are not just women, they are men and children, too. We watch but we don't see, we should look at people around us, we need to recognize this in real life in order to help victims.

Message at the end of the film is this in 2020 the International Labour Organisation estimated that there are currently 25 million victims of human trafficking around the world.

To conduct their operations, traffickers need the assistance of hospitality industry, the banking system to launder money, the transportation industry, and Internet platforms to recruit and advertise their victims.

HUMAN TRAFFICKING is a $150 billion a year global industry.

This movie might be based on a true story, but like someone else said, the plot was poorly executed! The acting was terrible and every scene was predictable. There were a couple scenes where the victim could have easily escaped and it was like a bad horror movie. Instead of signaling for help or running away, she runs 20 feet and hides. Anne Heche made some great movies throughout her career and I can't believe she starred in this garbage.

Lifetime and Hallmark must have strict shooting schedules and a quota to produce so many movies a year. They need to slow their roll and start producing more quality content.

I cant believe I gave up prime time Halloween movie watching for this.
