    A must see action packed movie

    This is a great movie that is family friendly and oriented. From the very beginning it gets your attention and the story behind it keeps your attention. I believe that this movie needs to be seen a theater. It brings awareness to children being abducted.

    I love the way that the actors and DCTF portray this brings awareness to the abduction of children. I am happy to say I have a copy of Vanished in my personal library.

    I believe that it should be released to the theaters so more people can see it. All the actors did an excellent job and love that God was included in this movie.

    Vanished should be in theaters.

    It is a must see based on the trailer

    I was only able to view the trailer but from what I saw it is a heartfelt story that I wanted to learn more about. It is a clever way as it looks like the film was shot documentary style to give more of a feeling of realism and relate-ability to the family who's life was certainly centered around their abducted daughter and when the possibility of not having her around set in, the empty nest syndrome drives the couple apart. I love how resourceful the production was with a low budget and how they made the film work.

    I can not wait to see the full feature when it is released publicly. Even though the actors are not well known they have done a great job in the trailer.

    PLEASANT SURPRISE

    This movie was more than I possibly imagined. At the time I watched this I had not ever viewed a Christian based movie. I was in for such a surprise when I watched this. All of the movies from DCT films come with a lesson to be learned in them. This one really surprised me had a great storyline going for it. Makes you sit back and wonder, who do you trust and who do you not trust? The acting in this movie was pretty good. I thought the storyline was fabulous and again the cliffhanger ending was the greatest. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and never even paused for a potty break. I'd give this one a thumbs up for sure.

    Good Family Drama

    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.

    An edge of your seat thriller!

    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.
