Vanished

My grandma said there is no greater loss than that of a child. Every child is the best of you. With them, goes the best of you.

My mom said nothing tests a marriage like the loss of a child. In a healthy marriage, they turn to each other. Together, we will see each through this.

This film explores both when a couple's daughter is kidnapped. Will they cling to one another for comfort or allow this to drive them apart.

Can they keep the hope alive?

This is a low budget indie film from a Christian family. They prove time and time again that you don't need Hollywood to tell a gripping and heart wrenching story.

Vanished is the new film from Dreams Come True Productions, and it is a superb effort from this film group. Vanished tells the powerful and gripping tale of an abduction. It is based on the book of the same title written by Candy J Beard.

Carla and Chris Bennett had the perfect life until the day their seven year old daughter, Kimberly, was abducted in broad daylight, without a trace! All attempts to find her come up empty, leaving the community baffled. Who took young Kimberly and why? Days turn into weeks and weeks into months. Tensions begin to arise between the once happy couple as Chris blames Carla for Kimberly's abduction.

Soon, an old classmate of Carla's will make himself a permanent fixture in her life. Suspense ensues as the viewer wonders is he there to help her pick up the pieces of her shattered life, or does he have plans of his own?

And will Kimberly ever make it home again?

Vanished holds your attention and have a nice pace. It is also nice to see the talented Richard Bryant (from Lifetime's Army Wives) playing the lead. Hopefully we will see more of him in the future.

Thanks to Dreams Come True for a powerful family film that makes us all think and be fortunate for those in our lives.

This is a good heartfelt movie. The topics and theme covered are all events that happen in reality. This touches on the dangers of complacently. This shows you in real time how quickly life can change in the blink of an eye when you turn your attention away for a brief second or let your guard down. This movie will hold the viewers attention from beginning to end but some concepts are a bit long thats the reason for the 9 of 10. I believe this movie has a book that is also written by the producer that is a good read as well. The movie in my opinion is safe for children above 7/8 because it is tastefully written and executed so that a child can understand the dangers of interacting with strangers.

I must say while this is not Dreams Come True Films first production it is the first time we see the amazing talents of Candy and her son Daniel as a team as their first production which they did in 2011 was done by outside help before Daniel became involved.

This is a film that will have you guessing until the very end and keep you on the edge of your seat as it is full of twists and turns.

I have heard through the grapevine that Dreams Come True Films may finally be getting distribution for all their films after all these years. It's got to be incredibly challenging and frustrating competing with Hollywood so I pray their dreams will become a reality soon. As a big fan, it would be fantastic to turn on Tubi one day and see these films as they deserve a much wider audience than they have had. They truly deserve to have these movies seen worldwide not just at local screenings and local premieres.

You will not be disappointed if you watch Vanished. You will definitely need a box of tissues handy as the performance of Caitlin Smith is a real tear jerker.

This movie is definitely a must see and I can see why it has won multiple awards including best thriller, best writing and best lead actress for Caitlin Smith who portrays the grieving mom.

This movie was very suspenseful and scary that this happens more often than people think. Well written and directed, the adult actors did a great job also, I could feel their compassion and emotions. No matter how much we wish child abduction wouldn't happen, unfortunately it does. It is every parents, grandparents, families, worst nightmare. The young actors in this movie were quite impressive also, it is amazing how well they portrayed their roles in this movie. I wish that this would never happen to anyone ever! All and all a very suspenseful, heart wrenching, well written and directed movie, a must see!
