Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times The Lost succeeds as both a superior crime drama and a haunting cautionary tale. Feb 29, 2008 Full Review C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore The Lost is all about evil, the compliance of others around it to let it happen, and keep happening, as well as everything from wasted ambition to flawed masculinity. Rated: 4/5 May 2, 2019 Full Review Steve Biodrowski ESplatter Fans looking for a decent thriller or a frightening fear flick had best look elsewhere. Jul 14, 2008 Full Review Bryant Frazer Bryant Frazer's Deep Focus If the ability to genuinely disturb is any measure of a horror film's quality, then The Lost is a pretty good one.

StephenPaul C The greatest 01 hour: and 59 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/19/23 Full Review Audience Member It'll likely get compared to The Girl Next Door due to Jack Ketchum's source material being the basis for each film, and bc they both deal with dark subject matter, but that's where the comparisons should end. /the Lost is not a true story... it's the story of a troubled kid who is a sociopath. The acting is really good and the plot has the feel of a true story, which gives it that extra excitement while it's playing. But in the end it's just a solid dark tale from the mind of Mr. Ketchum. I would definitely rec this movie... it's a different kind of horror that doesn't employ jump scares or the usual horror cliches like being very over the top/extreme... instead it relies on the darker side of real life... a story that could you could easily find in old newspapers. And that's what gets under your skin. The fact that this could easily be a true story. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member This film was extremely intense! The psychosis was portrayed so well...by the acting, the script, the music, right down to the buzzing, lingering fly sound effects. This movie was created in such a wickedly effective way that it was quite brilliant...and very sick. The other reviewers weren't kidding when they said the ending wasn't for the faint of heart. Worth watching for horror fans...but you must watch from the beginning to end. The last 20 minutes of this film were so disturbing...that I know it will stick with me for a while. Props to the creators because this was one REALLY messed up yet super effective movie. Prepare to be impacted by this jaw dropping climax. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member The Lost really should have been called "The Psycho", the story does center around this weird/psychotic guy who does really bad stuff. The movie itself is very graphic/violent and they do a decent job developing the characters but the ending was disappointing. What exactly was the rush? Was he killed? Was he just badly beaten and then taken to jail for the rest of his life? What happened to the girl he was going out with? Had the ending been better, this would have gotten 3.5 stars instead of 3. Still though, it's not a bad film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Slow burning but fascinating and twisted account of a spree killer. Compelling in its idiosyncrasies, long form plot, and character development, which makes the 3rd act all the more effective Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a fairly well done film. The plot is a little simple for me and I feel they took the character into depths that were a little over the top. However I thought there was some good editing and camerawork going on in this film and Senter's performance is sure to entertain viewers of all tastes however hyperactive it may be.
