Or the scene early on in the film where Zack’s mom gets him a sweet pair of shades and then we see them fall to the ground when he gets abducted. Much of the plot seems frivolous and unnecessary, like the extended conversation between Zack’s mom and his girlfriend about some kid in her school that got in trouble. Director Rick Lancaster seems to be trying to say something with the film, but it never fully comes across, as any semblance of a message gets muddied under bad performances and a weak script. ![]() While the idea of a beautiful young woman kidnapping a teen boy in order to make him the perfect mate is interesting in theory, the execution feels more in line with an episode of SVU than an actual feature-length film.

The Abduction of Zack Butterfield isn’t the type of film that can easily be explained to someone who hasn’t had the pleasure of seeing it. Release date: Currently Available via: Vimeo on Demand ![]()
