ElemenTory

The show kept me interested in it, it has it's highs and lows, although it was quite predictable but very realistic to the possibility of what could really happen to anyone in real life. I liked it, couldn't stop watching it as I wanted to know what happened and if the hunch was right.

I would recommend anybody to watch this as it very well could happen anywhere. One never knows what in life what trials and tribulations one or another can or end up going thru. The show also shows one that trusting your own gut or hunch could very well be the best end result in a situation that could be of life or death to another.

It's the worst film I've ever watched,the acting is terrible,the film isn't believable at all ,so many things didn't make sense, and the kidnapers were just ridiculous, there obviously has been no research for this film ,and no DBs checks for the staff in the school,whoever wrote and directed this film should never do a film ever again ,if there going do a film with a story like that they need do it properly,I would be so ashamed to be a part of it.its so bad , it's really annoyed me because people who have gone through this situation and are going through it right now it would really upset them.

In ElemenTory, director Terrence Arlyn takes viewers on a tense and emotional ride, exploring a scenario that every parent dreads a child gone missing without a trace. The film follows the Reddick and Adams families, whose worlds are shattered when their young children disappear from school one day.

As the police investigation stalls and the school administrators seem more interested in covering up the incidents than actually finding the kids, the parents take matters into their own hands. What starts as a desperate act escalates into the group essentially taking control of the school premises to hunt for clues about their children's fates.

The acting performances are raw and powerful, perfectly capturing the anguish, determination and unraveling emotional state of the mothers and fathers. Juliette Valdez is particularly tremendous, displaying a wide range of emotions as a mother pushed to her limits. The thriller elements keep you on the edge of your seat, but it's the very real and heartbreaking human drama that makes this film so gripping.

While a couple plot points strained credulity at times, overall ElemenTory is a taut, suspenseful exploration of how far parents will go to protect their children. It puts you right in the mindset of these characters making increasingly desperate choices, all motivated by that fundamental parental drive. An intense, emotional ride from start to finish.

The story is all too real for many families and the makers of this movie fell way too short on their delivery.

The name was a terrible choice and made it sound as though the focus was one child. Just bad all around.

Not much research on policies and procedures for abducted children. The police in the movie carried themselves more like mall cops.

The acting was terrible. Could've been such a good movie if there was better acting, better writing and maybe a bigger budget.

It was the usual, "everyone's a suspect" spin, with the most obvious being the outcome.

Almost 2hrs of my life gone now.

What could have been an interesting and well meant film, turned into a mess with sloppy dialogue, pedestrian cinematography and amateurish acting. A parents worst nightmare when their child goes missing, is the premise of the film but there is a darker side of this poorly executed film. With the proper director, budget and professional actors, this could have been a very good film, but it fails in every aspect. I do have to say that it kept my attention, however predictable the film and its perpetrators were. It is not the worse film I've ever seen but the premise was believable, the execution not. If you want to see an excellent film on this subject, watch Hugh Jackman, Terrence Howard and Viola Davis in "Prisoners"
