Girl in Room 13

Starts Off Bad, But Wait, it Gets Worse... Whoever makes this garbage should stop and focus on something else. Wedding videos maybe? Or possibly just a new career in general because this is fraud.

With unoriginal scenes, poor acting skills, and just a terrible plot- this movie has managed to make amazed at just how AWFUL a movie can be.

By far the worst movie I've ever watched in my life If you want to waste your time, and I mean waste it to the point that there is not a single net benefit, this is your movie.

Stay away at all cost, don't waste any time on this B movie crap.

This movie is insanely terrible.

I don't know why everybody seems to be down on Anne Heche for her role in this movie. I thought she did a great job portraying a mother who is frantically looking for her daughter and not getting help from the law. I wish though that they would've had, a bit more information in the movie about just how bad sexual trafficking really is. I did not like the fact that at the end of the movie they did not say what happened to the guy Richie or her so-called ex coworker Red. It's disgusting that women would be involved in something as terrible as sex trafficking, but hey, I guess money is all that matters to them. Besides the one rape scene at the beginning of the movie when Richie first took her into the hotel, I was a bit surprised that they did not show more men coming into her room, though usually the man who abducts the female is usually the one that will continually keep raping her over a period of days to break them down. Often those other guys are involved in the emotional, mental and sexual breakdown of the victim until they are sold. I don't know if that's why some people were disappointed in the movie, I'd hate to think that that was the reason. I know this is based on a true story, and I don't know how often the mother or the stepfather kept contacting the police, but the movie did seem like it was more about the mothers search for her daughter. I know that often hotels/motels are involved in covering up such a terrible thing, as well as other industries, and I don't know why more of a focus is not put on finding and helping victims. There are so many men that are such pedophiles and sexual perverts it is so disgusting, I sometimes wonder if there are vigilante people out there that take matters into their own hands because you sure don't hear about them.

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.

Grace (Larissa Dias) is staying clean after her latest rehab. Her mother Janie (Anne Heche) is supportive and hopeful. While doing a favor for a friend, Grace gets kidnapped by druggie former boyfriend Richie. She's locked in a motel room to be broken down for trafficking. Most think that she had fallen off the wagon again, but Janie is relentless in her search for her daughter.

This is one of those Lifetime woman-in-trouble movie. It's noteworthy for being one of Anne Heche's final roles. Elisabeth Röhm is also trying her hand in directing. She seems to be functional, but nothing spectacular. First, Grace needs to fight harder. It's more realistic and much more compelling to push the action. The movie needs to increase the intensity at every turn and this fails to do that. There are also too many dumb characters. I wonder how much money the motel workers are getting paid to turn a blind eye to the scheme. Whatever it is, it is not enough. He's even late for the motel rental. It makes no sense. This is not a smart movie. I get that her repeated drug uses have worn down the family. In which case, the story would work better if the dad is gone and Janie is truly alone. All in all, this is a Lifetime movie and not a good one at that.

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.
