Rachel Baker and her daughter Hannah have such a close bond that they each wear a bracelet inscribed with the words "All My Heart." That connection will be put to the test in this well-crafted thriller.
A major strength of the film was in the development of a set of truly creepy characters in a small town. There was a sense of menace behind almost every interaction of Rachel in her desperate search for her daughter.
One example of the depth and detail of the characters was in the secondary role of the waitress Kerry at the local diner. When a regular customer Mark whom Kerry has been dating attempts assist Rachel in the search for her daughter, Kerry becomes jealous. But her reaction transcends spite to include an element of mystery. There is a similar sinister element to Dr. Wilson, Sheriff Lester, and Gus the auto repairman, as well as the nefarious creature working at the convenience store.
There were especially effective film production values in the locations, camera angles, and a general aura of menace evoked in the small town. Despite the beautiful scenic environment, there was an overriding sense of danger in both the interior and outdoor environments.
When Rachel asserts to the sheriff that "I am not going anywhere until I find my daughter," she will be drawing on the experience she soaked up as the daughter of a cop. But she will be running a gauntlet that will indeed require "all my heart."
