Have to say the storyline was well written and the cast albeit not A listers, did some great work keeping you gripped. As short films go I recommend it. Different to most and not so predictable. Well done 👏

Here's a 2nd review by someone not associated with this film. The movie is pretty bad. The acting is spotty with several of the actors being no better than rank amateurs. Direction is questionable. The whole vibe of the thing is cheap and junky. I should've known as certain aspects of the trailer gave me pause but I foolishly plowed ahead anyway only to be thoroughly let down.

I thought it was a great story in theory and mostly great acting. I was left a bit bewildered at too many unanswered questions though. Could have been better but not the worst I've seen.

I honestly wasn't expecting much from this movie from the synopsis outlining a familiar topic of child disappearance.

I read the reviews and thought I'd give it a go anyway as a fan of English movies.

I was glad I did. It was gritty, suspenseful and makes you think - especially if you have children. Any of the endings are plausible which created an interest in finding out more about trafficking and abduction (after checking on my own child). In regards to encouraging people to look outside their own bubble it was a success.

This movie is low budget, and set in basically one house. However, you don't really notice because you are so engrossed with the things being said. Best line of the movie is dropped by the nanny, and you'll know it when you hear it. The main cop, Danny, has you reigned in as a hate/love character, and his bright blue eyes lighting up as he engages in a scene. This movie is underrated! It's almost akin to M. Knight Shamalan style movies.
