Protraph Lack of good storyline.

ShangLuda Admirable film.

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

shellee-387-398640 Plot - The plot was better than average and keeps you watching. As an advocate of the found footage genre I enjoyed watching a movie that would usually be filmed in that style but in this case was done normally. The movie also keeps you thinking about it once it is over (and in my case the next day). The end of the movie looked like it suffered slightly in the editing department which I thought added to the mystery. If you like movies with an interesting and slightly different plot, that leaves you thinking about it after wards then this one is worth watching.Summary - Keeps you interested, good plot and leaves just enough to the imagination which makes you keep thinking but allows you to ultimately work it all out in the end.Acting - Fairly solid with the exception of one of the male leads who is a bit wooden but it does not affect the watch-ability of the movie.Location/Cinematography - Loved it. They used the location to their benefit. Camera angles were used along with the sparse location to highlight the mysterious nature of the plot.Music/Soundtrack - Different and spooky. They did not use sounds to produce scares which was refreshing.Sex/Violence/Swearing - F word is dropped by characters in times of stress. One small sex scene. Very little violence if any.

mario_c Lost Things is an interesting movie! It's quite disturbing because it has a strong psychological basis. There are no gore scenes, there's almost no blood, but there's a tense atmosphere since the beginning (and the soundtrack helps it a lot, with some classical and disturbing string sounds!). When the first clues were given I thought: "well, I've seen this before… it's another "scary movie" with a predictable end…" And in a certain way it is, because the main topic of the plot it's very predictable and the viewer who pays a little attention to some details soon will understand that something strange happened in the past with these guys… But when the plot is being reveled, it doesn't give you all the complete answers… There are some little details that remain unclear even after the movie ends, and I appreciate this I must say! I like movies which have a complex plot and make me think, and this one did! There are some scenes really amazing because you have a parallel viewing over the story. It's like your screen were divided into two parts and you can see what's happening now and what happened before… The scenario of the film is pretty nice too. The beach is beautiful and I think it was a very nice idea (and quite original too!) to transform such amazing beach into a Limbo!

Lea Greenall Don't expect a clichéd stereotypical slasher-fest with Lost Things(LT). It is thought provoking and makes you think and ask questions long after the credits finish.LT seems straight forward, the tale of 4 teenagers sneaking away for a weekend of supposed debauchery and unwholesome fun... well that's where the similarities end in comparison to the afore mentioned stereotypical slashers. LT makes you think. It is a cognitive tale that doesn't treat the audience as if they are all pubescent fools.However there are some glaring anomalies that seriously detract the viewer. Firstly the two lead teenage male actors are too similar in appearance and mannerisms; it was difficult to distinguish them at times. The screenplay seemed to lose its way with continuity and dialogue in places that was actually frustrating. And the editing and cinematography seemed to be jumbled and 'roughly cut' with shots and scenes thrown together haphazardly even when the viewer has the benefit of hindsight at the end of the film.Overall though LT is a clever little outing. It would score higher but for the technical downfalls. I for one though do appreciate a good cognitive thriller ... and Lost Things tried.

myron_simons "I know what you did last Blair Matrix!" I love horror films and this is one of the most refreshing I've ever seen. "Lost Things" has that unsettling, true-to-life feel of "Blair Witch". It takes the archetypal "teens in trouble" formula but then twists the familiar plot into a powerful and unsettling existential psycho-horror story. My "Matrix" reference is nothing to do with bullet time photography or Kung Fu but more about the way "Lost Things" bends perception of time and throws into question the nature of reality."Lost Things" not only celebrates and exploits familiar cinematic-horror elements, it blends them into something bigger than the sum of its parts and ends up being a wholly original and wonderfully disturbing entity. It's a slow pace to start with, which I appreciate in these days of high-octane, smart-alec, body-count horror flicks. Whilst being boldly 21st century, "Lost Things" shares the virtues of classics like "burnt offerings" and the "Changeling" - films that take the time to have you care for the characters and build a 'platform of reality' that makes the horror all the more effective once that platform begins to tilt. And once the momentum kicks in there is plenty of suspense.Director Martin Murphy is a craftsman and he's got together a great team. The sound track and design is harrowingly beautiful. The cinematography, editing, design and direction are congruent, all working together to deliver the story with clarity and atmosphere. Murphy has drawn intense and honest performances from his actors. The Actors well serve Stephen Sewell's terrific script, capturing the darkness, humour and vulnerability of adolescent social/sexual politics. Murphy is obviously working with a tiny budget but he knows what he's doing so we don't miss the crane and tracking shots at all. Far from it - this is one of those great indie films that exploits and transcends the low budget restrictions."Lost things" is a highly enjoyable and unique yarn of a horror film. Complex yet accessible, it creeps in under the skin and continues to seep deeper into the bones. Well worth checking out.
