This Lifetime movie is not fleshed out really well, but it's the idea and transferences that are pretty gripping and gritty. Suspend a little disbelief on the captivity plausibility issues before going in. To be fair, this concept has been done better several times, and on higher budget. A familiar variation to Girl in the Basement but still different, and still heartbreaking to know that this kind of trafficking is real, and in turn, inspires stories based on it. The acting is not academy award stuff, but if you level set on expectations going in, some might find this to be worth a watch. It's probably not going to brighten your day though.. depressing subject matter for sure.

You can't simply lock people up in a basement and expect to get away with it. A few walk around free during the day. Nobody tried to just walk away? Nobody was able to call the cops once for decades? The entire idea is ridiculous on its face. There is a window. No bars on it. They all can easily look thru it from the stairs. Nobody even tried to break it and yell for help? I don't know who could take this movie seriously it is an exercise of ignoring logic and common sense. You honestly want us to believe they let these kids go outside alone and they don't run and ask for help!?!?! Somehow this is supposed to be religious yet this girl keeps praying to be saved when she gets legs to walk away herself. Trash movie.

The acting is NOT that great. The story has the girls leaving the house for other chores and to put out the trash - as if they cannot escape and they have them move from house to house and yet the basement looks the same. Firstly they need to change the title. It is just a badly done movie. It is a similar story to the girl in the basement but that had a good story and was well execute. When these movies are made - quite often there are details that do NOT make sense. And the little girl grew up in 6 yrs to a different age and she does NOT look at all like the little girl she was at least some similiar features...
