As I was watching this movie, it was a bit surreal to find that a girl almost my age could be taken that quickly in the 60s. It wasn't a known thing in the 1960s that children were abducted, kidnapped, molested. They pretended as if it didn't exist. Susie, the main character, is abducted, and implied that she is raped then killed. Throughout the movie, you find yourself wanting vengeance of the killer. In one occasion where the police are searching throughout the house, you're begging for them to find clues. Then the movie becomes more intriguing as the dad decides to look after the killer. The father and the sister of the girl Susie both seek vengeance against the killer, but don't have the evidence to do so. You would figure after so much chasing, and so many hints from the girl Susie that the father would kill the man who took his child. Disappointingly, the girls body is never found & the man gets away with yet another murder by moving to another state. The father goes on about his life, which is normal in any person's life, but not if they spent 90% of the movie searching for his daughter. How does the killer die you may ask? He falls off a cliff. The viewer at the end is left feeling incomplete and unsatisfied, and I do not reccommend anyone watches it.
The book was much better. Add in reasoning as to why this movie review is important to post about. Reflect more on the issues presented.

I have read a lot of books that have similar frustrating effects on the reader. Those are the books that i like the most.you don't want to read a book that is predictable it will become boring. you want one that will keep you guesing. the same with movies. The Movie got a reaction out of you whether it was anoyance or frustration. that is the job of a writer to motivate some reaction from his reader or viewer. whether you like it or not you reacted which means that the writter did a good job. So maybe it was not a great movie choice for you, but i find that you should first read the book before watching the movie. that way you will understand it better and maybe enjoy it more.
