Tiffany G @RT23468976 4d Review: https://wp.me/p65txm-imK/#KidnappedInMyOwnHome See more Diane K. @RT53777820 5d Great movie. The best movie I've ever seen on Lifetime. Stana and Tomas did wonderful jobs. See more jana F @rc602 5d Really enjoyed this movie! A dark, very suspense driven story and great acting by Stana Katic and Tyler Perez. I liked the underlying message Martha was trying to relay to and get the troubled kidnapper to believe, not only to save her life first, and being the mother she was, that you have to believe in yourself and that everyone has good in them no matter how bad your life has been. Making those good choices makes the difference between being human and a monster. See more BraveMaker T @RT19316547 5d I got chills multiple times during this movie. I thought the acting was grounded and so good which made it a great watch! See more Becky W @RT23538486 6d Was truly blown away by this movie! Traci Hays nailed every aspect of the film and brought a whole new level of production value to Lifetime. The performances by Stana Katic and Tyler Perez were astounding. Perez delivered a deep level of humanity to what could have been a very stereotypical "bad guy" role. But he had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Perez was terrifying, vulnerable, and even funny in the most unexpected way. I predict an oscar in his future for sure! See more Kristine Jane B @tinjanebrn 6d insane movie!! do yourself a favor and watch this immediately. stana and tyler delivered nothing but phenomenal performances. 10/10 would watch again🙂‍↕️ See more Read all reviews
