Vanished (2014) Reviews

• Vanished - a great film

  candy_dreamscometruefilm2014-11-06

  The person who left a terrible review was NOT even in our audience when we premiered our film in September. He "claims" that he was just a member of the general public and lives in Terre Haute. Ha! The general public was not even invited to attend. This film's premiere was a special event for cast, crew and special invited guests by members of our cast. He was not in our audience and we know this because everyone who attended had to have an advance ticket. And he goes on to say that he is glad he did not pick up a copy of the film on DVD that was floating around.....another sign that he and his review are fake, fake fake! We were not selling copies of the film, as we were told not to by a potential film distributor. We simply had a couple empty DVD cases with art work as props for the cast to hold and pose with on the red carpet. This is merely a HATER who obviously can't stand for others to be successful. Our premiere got nothing but rave reviews by all 300+ people in our audience. Film making is a cut throat business to say the least and this hater's fake review proves that. I won't even dignify the rest of his comments with a response.

• Powerful Family Drama

  mscynthiacampbell2014-11-07

  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.

• 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.

• Vanished - every parent's nightmare

  I had seen this film a couple of years ago at a premiere event, and I can't stop thinking about it. The story was written very well. And I was amazed at the quality of the sound & camera work, because I know that this wasn't done by one of those "big" companies. But whoever these folks are, they know their stuff. Most of the actors were very believable in their roles. I may not have liked every aspect of the story, like when the mom started a relationship that she knew in her heart was wrong, but I know that this kind of stuff happens in today's world of circumstantial ethics. When we are hurting, we can convince ourselves of almost anything. That's another way in which this film is believable. I just can't imagine how I would react if this happened to my family. This is a must watch film for any parent today.
