I saw this as a recommendation on a page for a film I enjoyed and it was cheap on Amazon so I bought it. Unfortunately I didn't investigate the film at all and I must say, I feel some of the reviews and comments on here feel a bit like astro-turfing is going on here or I'm just completely different to everyone else that has seen this.
The Lost feels like a made for TV movie and I would have guessed that it was except for it does have some nudity in it.
The gist of the film is Ray is a psycho. It starts out with him killing two females partially because they think they're lesbians. That in itself feels ironic because, whether it's a case of bad over acting or not, Ray comes off as a bit of a closet homosexual (there are some scenes that lead me to believe that maybe they were trying to hint at that). Then it just feels like it's nothing but bland scenes conveying that Ray is a jerk towards women, possibly has issues with them and this all builds up to an uneventful climax.
Unlike the other people commenting on this film, I didn't find it gripping at all and I wouldn't call it a horror by any means nor is there really any suspense or much of anything that would make it a good film. When there is killing it's very tame even in the finale.
I've not read the book and the book may be good. It could just that this film is like Stephen King's It where the film just doesn't convey any of the same feelings you get from the book.
I would fully recommend thinking twice about buying it even if you see the DVD for a $1.00.
