My Father, My Kidnapper

When Casey Winters wakes to discover her mother has vanished, she races to piece together what happened before time runs out. The search forces Casey to sift through family history, old grudges, and half-told stories that had been buried for years. As she chases leads and questions those closest to her, loyalties shift and unexpected truths emerge. The film keeps the central mystery tight, focusing on tense conversations and small discoveries rather than big action set pieces, so the emotional stakes and the race to find Jane drive the suspense without giving away the outcome.

This 2019 TV thriller was directed by Farhad Mann and created by Shevon Singh, with Larissa Albuquerque and Erin Karpluk leading the cast. It was produced for television, aiming for a mix of intimate family drama and suspenseful plotting.

My Father, My Kidnapper did not receive major industry awards or notable nominations. Coverage in award circles was minimal, and most recognition has come from viewers rather than from festival or prize committees.

Though not a widely known title, the movie has carved a small place among late-night and made-for-TV thrillers. Online discussions tend to focus on its family betrayal angle and a few tense scenes that stick with viewers, and the film gets occasional mentions in lists of recent TV suspense movies.

Critical and viewer response has been mixed, reflected in a modest average rating around 5.8 out of 10 from a small number of votes. Reviewers and audiences often single out the lead actors for bringing emotional weight to the material, while some note that plotting and pacing can feel predictable at times. Central themes include family secrecy, shifting trust, and how unresolved past events reshape present relationships.
