      Anton Bitel VODzilla.co an eerie mystery that channels the shoreline setting and creeping dread of classic nature's revenge Ozploitationer Long Weekend (1978), and something of the hallucinatory disorientation of outback enigma Picnic at Hanging at Rock (1975). Mar 1, 2017 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com Rated: 3/5 Aug 19, 2006 Full Review Urban Cinefile Critics Urban Cinefile Made on a low budget, the film proves that it's the range of your imagination and the quality of your story telling not the size of your budget that ultimately matters.

      Audience Member Low budget but not bad at all, feels like the movie Triangle ripped off the idea for Lost Things. Not particularly scary but the suspense and mystery do work even if the direction makes it a little too obvious. Worth seeing. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Lost Things (2003) -- [3.0] -- A super-low budget Australian flick that tries very, very hard to be a heady psychological thriller. From start to finish, there are only five characters and a single beach setting, so the movie ends up feeling claustrophobic in a bad, cheap way. Once the characters have difficulty discerning fantasy from reality and one of them turns out to (maybe?) be the Devil, I lost interest. Don't expect any action, thrills, or gore -- just a bunch of esoteric bullshit. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This horror-movie from Australia was not one bit scary. It tried to be witty and confusing, but it was just plain bullshit with bad actors. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't really get it. But as far as I can say the idea is very interesting. The acting is a little bit strange as is the movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Admirable film, especially when you learn it was shot in less than a fortnight with no budget. Surprisingly atmospheric and creepy at times (impressive use of music and sound effects, too), with an okay plot. I found it mostly predictable, though, and to be honest I the ending I envisioned in my head would've been much better than the one this film had. People have criticised the plot for being confusing the nonsensical. Whilst it is confusing at first, I thought it all made sense in the end. The dialogue changes rapidly from honest to nauseating, but then again I've heard worse from other people my age, so perhaps it's more realistic than I thought. I don't think the film is as deep as it likes to think it is, but now I'm just nitpicking (and then again I hate the overuse of criticisms like "not deep enough"). Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member The acting left a lot to be desired, but the location worked well as a eerie place. Australia seems to be easy that way for some reason.
