    Storyline

    Edit
    When Heather Walsh accepted a tutoring job on an isolated farm in the Mangatiti Valley in 1985 she had no idea that what first appeared to be paradise, would become a nightmare. For 6 months she would be held captive, raped, and psychologically tortured by a seasoned predator until she made a daring escape. A true New Zealand story.

    A Class True Movie film
    Watched this little gem on Netflix. i have seen many a good true movie film , this is up there with the best of the true movie films.Well directed and great acting by everyone involved. They all played their part well. Only sad thing was this was a true movie. You wonder why Heather Walsh the lady prisoner , did not escape earlier , but all is explained well enough throughout the film. Sorry if i have spoiled anything in saying that.

    Filmed in New Zealand which looks a beautiful place , so some nice scenery in the film too.Seen many a blockbuster that's been disappointing , this one can teach them how to make a film on fraction of the money of some crash bang wallop so called big films.
