The Lost

Buy it now!!

You can dig through indie horror for years without finding a decent movie. I checked IMDB and apparently there’s only 10 in existence. The first 10 seconds would suggest this is another flaming pile of poo on your doorstep. But what unfolds is a well acted, well directed, and decently written movie about a sociopath drug addict. Marc Senter plays this part masterfully. There is no point in this movie where I felt he over acted or lost character and with a part such as this it would have been very easy to do. If you don’t think a great performance is reason enough to sit through this movie, you also get a chance to see Shay Astar of 3rd rock fame all grown up as well as Misty Mundae briefly acting other a different name. This movie is more of a Natural Born Killeresque thriller than a horror movie. I can’t really go into describing it too much without completely spoiling it. The Lost is full of great editing as well. It often bounces back and forth between polar opposite soundtracks in the same scene to bring out excitement and it absolutely works every time. After not reviewing a movie for a year however you know its worth watching since I’m back here reviewing it. I guarantee moderate amounts of nudity, large amounts of drug use and in the end way to much killing for 10 minutes.
