Absentia (2011)

Director & Writer: Mike Flanagan

Actors: Katie Parker, Courtney Bell, Dave Levine

The movie is about a pregnent women named Tricia and her sister Callie who live in a neighbourhood known by the police. Tricias husbend Daniel went missing 7 years ago and suddenly he shows up from nowhere. He refuses to tell where he's been but his body shows signs of trauma. When he disapears again Callie has an amasing story about his disapearens and the police suspects her of using drugs.

Who is responsible for Daniels disapearens and how many people will have to disapear before someone finds out what happens to them?

The movie could've been an okay shortfilm but one hour and 30 minuites is just to mutch for this kind of movie. Alot of scenes where pure "darlings" and could've been taken away and shortened down to make a better rythm in the movie.

I get a feeling the makers want the audience to feel strongly with the characters but in my oppinion it was ruined by mediocre acting and directing. To cover that up they've put in sound effects and music to make the audience get into the feeling.

I found myself playing games on my Iphone instead of watching the movie a couple of times and playes back when I heard that something was supphose to happen. Sadly I was disapinted every time and found myself bored before the 1 second happening actually came.
