The Disappeared (I) (2008)
6/10
Familiar but decent
30 October 2023
The Disappeared is about Matthew Ryan, who keeps getting haunted by the disappearance of his younger brother Tom. He has visions and he's seeing things constantly which makes it very hard for him to try to live a normal life. But maybe these visions have a reason and could possibly even help him to find his brother or at least find out the truth about what happened to Tom. The movie is listed as horror but there's not much horror to be found, except of course the horros of losing your brother and not knowing what happened to him. But the movie itself is more of a mystery-thriller that hooks you in and won't let you go until you find out the truth. There are no jump scares and the movie is more based around atmosphere and a tension filled third act. You have some supernatural elements in Matthew's visions and other stuff happening but the majority of its runtime it has mostly the atmosphere of a thriller. To say that this movie is original would be a lie. We have a familiar story and familiar events happening throughout the movie but still the movie is well made and the acting is above average. This is no masterpiece but it manages to entertain for a one time watch. [5,6/10]
