A disturbing kidnapping nightmare begins in the trailer for the Netflix thriller Dear Child
Dear Child – Trailer (German) HD
At first glance, dear child is a claustrophobic and absolutely perfidious psychological nightmare. A woman named Lena (Kim Riedle) is kidnapped by a psychopath and locked in a windowless house, where she has to raise two children Hannah (Naila Schuberth) and Jonathan (Sammy Schrein) under the strictest rules – until she manages to escape.
And that is just the beginning. Dear Child begins where other kidnapping thrillers end and anyone familiar with the literary original knows that the story still has some unexpected surprises in store. A shocking twist is already revealed in the trailer.
Lena’s parents searched for their missing daughter for 13 years. Now she should finally have been found. But the big reunion ends with a bang: the escaped woman is not “her” Lena. While the mystery surrounding Lena and her children has to be solved, the police are in a race against time. Because little Jonathan was left behind in the isolated horror house.
