Rating: 9/10 (26 December 2013)

It starts off with the parents frantically looking for the kids and retracing their steps to look for clues to there whereabouts. The parents check all places after they have exhausted all other leads, then the older brother of Anna and older sister of Joy recall the kids playing on a van outside on the street and how hard they fought to get them away from it. The family decided to call the police giving this as good place to start.The the van is eventually found that same night and the driver tries to escape but ends up running the van into a pole in the struggle to get away. Soon after the cops try to interrogate the driver Alex Jones and he is let go on the grounds that he is mentally unfit to cooperate with interrogation and is released to his Aunt. ,Keller Dover Anna's father hears of his release and goes to the police station to try his hand in the interrogation and ends up wrestling with him until they are both pulled apart Alex whispers to him loud enough to where he can hear it but low enough to where he would be the only one Alex told him."They only started to cry when I left" This gives the story a creepy edge to it that no one can deny at the time. The detective Loki searching for clues and the midst of this the father kidnaps Alex and tortures him to try and find his daughter after he hears Alex singing the same song his daughter sang on the day she was taken Keller finds after days of searching this is the only alternative The detective follows up on a lead after he gets the plate number from the
store clerk and gets an address there after he shows up and everything was pretty formal up to when Loki started asking questions about the girls then he started to panic and try to shut the door in the detectives face. Loki then restrains him and starts looking for the girls in the house nothing there except all the writing in the house being creepy drawings of an obvious psychopath. Loki finds a group of suitcases in a room that was shut in the house he opens all of them to find snakes and bloody clothes of children. He then brings Keller and the Other daughters family in to verify articles of clothing Joy's family comes out of the office crying and it doesn't leave Keller much hope many of them were not a match for Keller daughter except her pink sock which he seen was definitely hers covered in blood stains. He then takes off to torture Alex one last and final time because he believes his daughter to be dead and he thinks its Alex s fault. Loki does more investigation work and interrogates the mystery guy ends up killing himself with Loki's gun after he starts babbling about the maze and never getting out. Loki is left really with no other options. Keller then goes to the house Alex stayed at apologize for overreacting with Alex and he gets the background of Alex and how he was related to her and how her husband isn't around anymore. After leaving Alex's aunts house he is called and told that the other girl Joy was found and she is in the hospital and she is recovering Keller cares of her well being but still tries to asks her where his daughter is and if she is OK Joy lifts up her head with a terrified suspenseful look said "she tied us up with duct tape" and that gave all what Keller needed to make his next move he returned to Alex's aunts house with a handyman tool kit to fix some things in her house to get inside to look around. Keller then tells the old woman "I don't want to have to hurt you" and the woman pulls a gun on Keller and says she has his daughter and then proceeds to tell him shes been kidnapping and killing kids for years. Alex's aunt and her husband were proud of it Alex's aunt said there's only one way to his daughter and that is to drink a recipe her and her husband made to drug induce motor skills of its victims and put them in a daze to where there really is no fighting back. Alex's aunt then proceeds to put Keller where he had his daughter when the police came looking around and is left there. Inevitably finding Anna at the kidnappers house through detective work of things introduced earlier on that come to light later in the story Loki shows up at the kidnappers house shoots her when she pulls a gun on him and shoots him in the eye he is injured rushing to the EM for treatment for Anna. A lot of mystery movies are doing this these days but the ending of the movie just before the Detective Loki shows up to stop the kidnapper the father of one the girl that didn't escape earlier on is still down in the cellar underneath the old muscle car in the yard. Because of this finding at the kidnappers house the house is obviously stripped searched and just before everyone goes home form digging up the yard all day Loki hears a faint whistle in the background and fades to black so the Director decided to end the movie this way more suspenseful i suspect.The movie did very well on its opening into the family scene how they did and put everyone in a down spiral and show just who you really are when faced with such a horrible thing and how things unravel. A sense of reality so to speak and the actors did a good job portraying their characters the movie has got a good solid plot to it.
