“Annie Williams, our main character in the film, is based 80% on the dynamics of this one particular survivor,” said Skeels. “The dynamic with her family and all the interactions she had with being followed, stalked and hunted by this predator in the white van. The ending of the story is taken from another victim who was falsely imprisioned and escaped him. We basically took those two victims’ stories and married them into one fictional account of Annie Williams in our film.”

CinemAddicts co-host Eric Holmes, who interviewed Skeels, recommends the movie and gave it a highly positive review (4.5/5 stars). Check out his review on the CinemAddicts podcast:
