David Lynch, Move Over!

Chris Sivertson's "The Lost" is a rattlesnake lying in wait. You sense the rattle, but don't fully realize the danger until its fangs are buried deep... and it's a long way back to civilization!

Marc Senter IS the amoral sociopath Ray Pye who limps around due to the smashed cans he uses in his boots as lifts. He is a pathetic punk, a sinister sadist, and I guarantee by the end, you will loathe him. This is the intent, and Senter brings Ray Pye to life in an extraordinary performance.

When Ray murders two young women while camping in the woods, he catapults his two dim-witted companions into a frenzy of complicit mayhem. While he puts the moves on one young lady after another, the law grows ever more relentless on his trail.

"The Lost" is a roller coaster from the moment the film begins with Ray coming face to face with a beautiful, unsuspecting nude sunbather until the ending credits roll. This is no dot-to-dot-I-know-what-will-happen-next. Sure, you think you know, but you're always wrong. It isn't a pleasant film to watch, but instead, a nasty and powerful moonshine that burns going down and burns coming out!
