Jolyn H. @jhutchings23 Jul 4 Great movie! Need to find it so I can watch it again! Such a crazy story and sad family dynamic. See more 05/08/2022 Great movie with a crazy family story. See more 02/18/2020 I'll let u know when i am able to access it. See more 08/15/2017 3.5/5.0 stars - Grade: B See more 09/28/2015 I have wanted to watch this for many years - its on You Tube. Its a harrowing true story and whilst the film-making of the drama is certainly not perfect, it is an intriguing insight into how child abduction, abuse and the subsequent legal system operated in the 1970s. So much tragedy in one family..... See more 04/19/2013 Not overly boring but not overly entertaining or interesting either. This would have been better if it weren't a Tv movie, because all the dramatic moments were cut off for commercials.Most of the characters seemed kinda half baked and under developed except for the nasty pedophile. They showed more of his personality than anyone else in the whole movie during the first half. I do think that Corin Nemec did a great job during the second half of the movie playing the older steven. His struggle with trying to get used to his family again and his constant bulling at school really show off his acting chops. All in all this is a good time waster for a couple hours when you have nothing else to watch and want to see a lifetime movie from the 80s but that's about it. This movie sorta focuses on blaming the parents for the Steven's abduction and almost makes the sickening nerdy pedophile as almost a savior that takes care of him and don't go into showing how much of an absolute monster he is. They also play down the actual rape and molestation of the victim and show him act as if he has no bad feelings towards the man who abused him for close to 7 years. Looking back on this, it seems way too Tv movie stupid to be taken seriously. See more Read all reviews
