‘Abandoned’ stars Hollywood A-lister Brittany Murphy in the last ever film she made before her untimely death just over a year ago. She co-stars with Dean Cain, Mimi Rogers and Peter Bogdanovich in this mesmerising psychological thriller which is released on retail DVD by Scanbox Entertainment on June 13.
High-powered senior bank manager Mary Walsh (Brittany Murphy) takes her new boyfriend Kevin Peterson (Dean Cain) to hospital for routine outpatient surgery.
When she returns later to take him home, he's mysteriously vanished and a hospital administrator (Mimi Rogers) can find no record of him ever being admitted.
A police search turns up nothing and her friends who have never met him don’t believe her.
No one believes Mary’s story at the hospital either, particularly when she drops what turn out to be a packet of anti-depressant pills on the floor.
She is taken to see one of the hospital’s psychiatric consultants Dr. Markus Bensley (Peter Bogdanovich) for evaluation and he pronounces her unstable and delusional so now she is faced with not only finding her missing boyfriend but proving her own sanity as well.
When a stranger tells her he knows where Kevin is and demands a 10 million dollar ransom, she has one hour to comply... while, so she thinks, her boyfriend's life hangs in the balance.
Forced to embezzle the money from the bank where she works, Mary then discovers the shocking truth behind his disappearance … the stranger and Kevin are conspirators and she is the victim of a cruel and elaborate hoax.
Time is now running out and she must take matters into her own hands to save herself.
‘Abandoned’ has a run time of 84 minutes, a 12 certificate and a recommended retail price of £ 12.99.
