Last Known Location

What a suspenseful treat. Any negative can pretty much be attributed to the budget they had to work with. There were lots of surprises that kept you wary as a viewer right up to the very end.... Just great movie making here. The director had very creative angles, making you feel like you were right there with them feeling the anxiety. Plus it wasn't needlessly filthy like so many producers seem to aim for....shock value which is such a cheap way of getting someone's viewing attention. None of that here. The guy playing the villain was also the director so double talent there. When watching really try not to interrupt your viewing as it will dilute the plot intensity.

The idea and premise around this movie was good. There was some excellent character development and realistic story writing regarding a very difficult subject matter.

Some parts were a little bit unrealistic when it came to dialog and some of the character relationships which made the movie seem a bit amateur.

I do like how the director did not tip toe around to what is likely to happen when women are held captive in some basement of a sicko.

It would have been nice to give a little more character development around the antagonist or perhaps provide a little more of a backstory to why he became a monster.

All in all this is like a lower quality but better written Lifetime movie.

What a nice, solid, gritty, low-key-thriller. I say "low-key" because the whole story just has this all encompassing ominous sense of dread throughout; it's like the filmmakers are saying "the world is a a nasty, bad stuff happens every day and this is just one of those stories." Nice production values and cinematography. One thing that really stood out for me was how well-developed the three female leads are, they could have easily been stereotypical one dimensional victims. Instead, the film does a impressive job of reminding the audience that these characters could be your sister or your girlfriend and this could happen to them.

This movie is by far better than these very bad reviews you're seeing. It is definitely an independent movie but in the absolute best way possible. The story is unique, the acting is genuine and the characters are captivating. You really get sucked in right away and you feel like you know the people you're watching. The story is told beautifully, I appreciate that they focus on the women and not the bad guy. It's refreshing to have a woman writer for once and it shows. AND THE TWIST! Wow, I really did not see that coming. Seriously it is totally worth the watch! And who doesn't like to support independent artists right?

I usually check IMDb to ensure a movie has at least a 6.5 rating before watching, but recently I've given more 5-rated films a chance, and I'm glad I did with this one. In my opinion, it deserves a higher rating. I decided to watch it based on recent reviews praising it, and I wasn't disappointed.

Yes, the cinematography feels more low-budget, but the plot and acting were unexpectedly strong. Unlike many higher-rated films where I find myself saying, "That would never happen" or "That doesn't make sense," this movie captured situations in a way that felt real. It reminds you that these things do happen.

While the subject matter made it a tough watch at times, I thought it was a well-executed film. If you're debating whether to give it a shot, I'd recommend it-it just might surprise you.
