As questions about Brenda’s sanity continue to mount, a discerning viewer of crap-tacular melodrama will remember Moore’s similar role (child is abducted and no one is sure that the mother is telling the truth about the abduction) in the Roth-produced “The Forgotten.” But that abduction was done by aliens.
