The subject of this thriller may be a parent's worst nightmare, but there's surprisingly little drama in this ineffectual, made-for-television abduction tale. In fact, you don't get much genuine emotion or tension at all, as psychic mum Dedee Pfeiffer (Michelle's sister) uses her spooky second sight to help find her missing daughter after the stroppy teen disappears following a party. Consequently, the film struggles for impact, with routine direction and feeble plotting compounding the problem. Only Pfeiffer's horror movie-styled visions bring a jolt of colour, enlivening her character's otherwise dull detective work. Unfortunately this supernatural element also undermines the mystery, causing its pieces to fit together too quickly and conveniently, and giving supposedly affecting events an air of silliness.
