Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Abducted in Plain Sight (2019)

This is a mesmerizing story. A young girl was preyed-upon by a family friend, right under that family's noses. Actually, right under the girl's nose too. This "friend" had the family fooled and literally conned the girl into believing she had a divine destiny to fulfill by becoming his wife.

It would be almost laughable if it weren't so devastating. I can barely believe how innocent the family  -- father, mother, and children -- were. Their trust was almost boundless. Their inability to suspect that an evil man could possibly be evil is almost inspiring. What must it have been like to live in their minds before this monster came knocking on their door?
