Day of Disappearance

Why why why do these movies slither onto streaming platforms? There are so many other movies like this one, but indescribably more well done. It's as if there was zero effort or craft put into this. It's a guy with his cellphone. At the top of the movie when I seen it was in Hawaii I was like awesome we get to explore Hawaii. NOPE. This guy sticks to his apartment or indoors for most of this movie. And you can't even hear what he's saying half the time!

Having recently watched a handful of these movies on Tubi, it's pretty clear that the people who made this saw some of the more well done ones and said HEY LETS DO THAT!

My favorite type of horror films are psychological & found footage.

Plot was a little basic along with lava rock folklore.

The whole "U" was new to me.

Couldn't figure out what that was about.

There was a lot of buildup with the main character.

Family, history, Arizona, super Mario, Hawaii for College, Aunty, Even The Kitty Made The character more human.

I presume the film is fiction to make a good movie, not based on an actual presence or curse.

However, I myself have never been to the island in the movie.

I've only been to Oahu.

Still I Thought it went well with my dinner and cocktail.

Was this a comedy?

Let me start by saying, I appreciate the fact that David got creative during the pandemic....kudos to you. However, this was no horror so please stop with the fake reviews. One thing I can't stand is a liar. I would respect your work so much more if you didn't pay people to leave fake reviews and just accept a low rating. No one is expecting you to deliver Tony worthy content.

The acting was hilarious with all the heavy breathing, the whisper talking, the crying, the subtle reactions to things that normal people would flip tf out at. And why did you have Aunty K shaking like that? Ahahahha, you didn't have to have her do that, she would have been fine delivering her lines.

I won't give any spoilers and I say if you're looking to pass time or for some background noise go ahead.

IMDb you should start allowing us to use emojis and do away with this ridiculous character limit. 3 emojis would have expressed my sentiments for this movie and so many others. It's 2023, get with the program.

David, while my rating is low, you were hilarious in this and I would watch more of your work just because *shrugs*. I will say that this was way too long. You could have completed this project in 90 min ok? Otherwise, we lose interest because nothing is really happening and the story isn't interesting but for some reason, I will watch more of your work. It's a conundrum I can't explain.

This is an excellent horror film or documentary, mystery, etc. Supposedly the director cut the film from the original YouTube Chanel of a kid who went missing. I went and checked out the channel and IT DOES exist! And the release dates of the channel uploads line up perfectly with the film. I know that they could have planned that but it seems too complicated. I'm pretty sure its real. Plus people are saying that on the Hawaii island (where the movie takes place) there were stories going around in 2019 of the missing kid David. If they did plan this and it is fake, WOW. What an Excellent idea. Anyway, regardless of if its real or not the movie was SO SCARY and SO GOOD. It provokes a sense of dread and fear. Few movies scare me anymore, but this did, because it was so realistic. Also David Hall is such an engaging and fun person! I could watch him for hours. Two thumbs way up! Definitely give this film a try.

First of all I must say, I live in Hawaii, where this film takes place. I'm not 100% sure if the whole thing is real or not, but I don't care!

I watched this movie with my girlfriend on my couch in the comforts of my own home. I am a huge horror fan, not just a gore hound, though I do enjoy some good gore f/x from time to time, but I love a good scare and a GOOD STORY most of all!...which both together, are really hard to come by.

Films that have scared me often lack in the story telling arena.

And let me just say THIS FILM HAD IT ALL!

This film is a lot like Blair Witch, Paranormal, Cloverfield in the use of the home camera, but the way in which the David Hall character in approached his situation is the most realistic and believable I have ever seen. The characters in the movie are like normal people, not Hollywood types. The acting is amazing (if it is acting???) And the David Hall character is SO fun and likable.

Thats why I'm not sure if this is real or fake. It all seems SO real. Plus there have been stories going around on the island about the David Hall kid for two years now.

On top of all of this the David S Hall YouTube account REALLY EXISTS!!!! And it is so crazy to be able to watch the movie then go browse the Youtube channel which has a lot more content. You can even dig deeper.

And the website and phone number to call about helping find David is real too!

If this is fake, this is the most ingenious incredibly done film I have ever seen.

If it is real (which I'm leaning towards that) it is still incredible the way they cut the film directly from his Youtube channel and the way they decided to tell the story.

DAY OF DISAPPEARANCE is the film to watch at home with as few people and distractions as possible. It's groundbreaking as far as found footage films go. I applaud the filmmakers for sending some chills down my spine and giving me a great new horror to love. Thank you.
