Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) 06/19/2009
1/5
The Disappeared makes you jump once or twice, but it's a dubiously overcooked horror-thriller. Go to Full Review
David Jenkins Time Out 06/19/2009
2/5
Johnny Kervorkian sets up the film nicely, but by the end, your worst fears are realised when it climaxes in the most anodyne way possible. Go to Full Review
Ed Potton The Times (UK) 06/19/2009
3/5
The film is let down by inauthentic dialogue and plotting that unravels rather embarrassingly in the final reel. But the tension is well sustained and Treadaway's performance is full of pallid intensity. Go to Full Review
Cynthia Fuchs PopMatters 07/17/2009
6/10
A complicated family dynamic is the point of departure for The Disappeared, part horror movie, part psychological study. Go to Full Review
Bill Gibron PopMatters 07/17/2009
3/5
While it may miss an opportunity here or there, The Disappeared is an eerie, entertaining effort. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Despite a few cliches and a slightly predictable climax, this is an atmospheric, well-made feature debut for the new filmmaking partnership of Kevorkian and Murphy. Go to Full Review

07/28/2014 "The Disappeared" is a slow burner, cleverly mixing a ghost stories with mystery element and psychological tension part and also terrific performance from Harry Treadaway, overall will leave you in surprise and with some question at the ends. This is some hidden gem in British horror cinema. See more 10/25/2013 Photography is sterile, cold and depressive giving this film a sharp horror that is contagious. Poverty, Drink and hatred all feature in broad swathes as the mystery progresses, with some dream scenes that creep up the back and bite the neck sharply. Music and sound effects make you want to run into a dark room and scream. Nibbles: Egg and Chips. See more 09/17/2013 The Disappeared isn't great, but it isn't bad either. The movie picks up about half way through, and has a few genuine scares toward the climax. See more 08/28/2013 oh my goodness... I almost never watch this type of movie. I didn't even realize I had requested it from the library or whatever possessed me to do so. I'm kind of glad that I did, but then again probably not good to watch it alone so late at night. =/ It was a really good movie for a horror flick. I don't think I would watch it again though. =) See more 05/25/2013 Good eerie drama develops credible characters, and grim british social-housing kitchen-sink reality. But that's not good box-office, so it gets scripted into the background and a cheap easy ending is dumped on the viewer. Dad's role in particular,with credible suspicion building on him as he copes with the stress HIS way is remarkably acted. See more 05/05/2013 Wow i love this movie See more Read all reviews
