Long Lost

My wife and I sat down to watch this movie recently. I had previously prefaced the evening's entertainment by telling her to be prepared for a very good, scary thriller. It was neither. The character, Seth, has to be one of the wussiest roles seen in recent, if not so recent memory. If people think this movie is scary and thrilling then they should never watch The Exorcist or Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) to name just two that could cause them cardiac arrest.

This movie is like the Bird Box to me. I just watched it because I wanted to see how it ended. Sad thing is, it had the potential to be a really good movie but it fell short. The only character that was believable was Seth's brother at the beginning. Don't understand how some gave it such high ratings. If you're curious and you loved the Bird Box, then this movie is for you. Otherwise, don't waste your time.

A great suspense flick with a good balance of thrills and comedy. It's a lot of fun!

Seriously, there's no ending on this that'll make you go 'wow'.

It'll make you go 'how'.

And probably 'why'.

Not sure why theres so many 9 & 10 ratings bc sorry this film doesnt rate that. It is quite frustrating bc it does draw you in w hopes of a great payoff which doesnt come. It was slow but the story interestingly weird enough to keep you watching...waiting...and waiting....and waiting some more. Oh and for all those comments about it being "sexual" or a "sexual thriller"? Seriously? It is not. One scene in the whole film "implies" a threesome but nothing ever happens and the most skin you see is the chick in a bikini. I watched through to the end, you will too probably but you will likely feel let down. So my advice, go in with zero expectations then you might not feel so bad at the end. Overall I gave it a 4 bc it was shot well, the acting was decent for the most part and though the story was bizzare, it could have had more uuhhmph with a payoff.
