Blind River

This film had beauty, depth and suspense. I feel like a lot of films these days don't have the heart that they used to and this film absolutely does.

As a mother, I deeply resonated with the main character, Claire. I would do anything and go to any length for my children. The overall message is to trust that gut feeling you have as a parent.

I believe the writer and director, Carissa Stutzman, is absolutely brilliant. The twists and turns to the depth and heart. She just gets it. And the film is one of those that has you thinking for days after. It's one that begs to be watched again & again...

I would absolutely watch again and everyone who was a part of this project should be very proud of it. There were plenty of suspenseful moments throughout and I think hey did exactly what they were trying to accomplish. Here is my positive and negative list:

Positives:

• Leads were great
• It looks really good
• The tone and themes stay strong in the writing throughout the entirety of the movie

Negatives:

• I thought the little girl was no bueno
• Red herring character was too obviously a red herring
• Beck's character (Tracy Campbell) wasn't in it enough
• Some of the writing was too on the nose.

'Vanished Out of Sight' stands out for its strong writing, directing, and execution, but what truly elevates it to another level is Tracy Campbell's incredible performance. From the moment he appears on screen, he commands attention with a presence that is both effortlessly natural and deeply compelling.

His portrayal of Beck is masterful, bringing a level of depth, emotion, and authenticity that makes the character feel real and unforgettable.

A powerful and captivating film, 'Vanished Out of Sight' delivers a truly unforgettable experience. If you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favor and watch it-you won't be disappointed.

This was a solid film overall, it would definitely do well on any streaming platform. Easily one of the best Lifetime movies airing on the network thus far! I'd watch it again, the acting was really grounded! And the cinematography as well as the score were pretty fantastic. Surprised that it ended up on Lifetime but either way it goes it was a really good film!

Blind River is a riveting and suspenseful masterpiece that grips you from start to finish, and Tracy Campbell's outstanding performance is the beating heart of the film. Campbell portrays his character with remarkable depth, seamlessly blending emotional vulnerability with unshakable strength. His raw intensity and nuanced delivery create an authentic, compelling presence that draws viewers into the story's tension-filled world. The film's sharp storytelling and expertly crafted twists are enhanced by Campbell's ability to command every scene he's in, making Blind River an unforgettable cinematic experience. This is a must-watch for anyone who loves character-driven thrillers.
