Watch Lost Place For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Truly Dreadful Film

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The acting in this movie is really good.

"Lost Place" is a German German-language film from 2013, so this one will have its 5th anniversary next year. The writer and director is Thorsten Klein and this is actually his only filmmaking effort to this day. His co-writer is slightly more prolific. This is a horror movie that runs for 95 minutes plus another 5-6 minutes of credits. The most known players in here are easily the actors. Francois Goeske has played lead characters in several movies. Jennifer Ulrich was one of Germany's most known from her age group a while ago. Pit Bukowski appears in some solid films too, even if he is not as well-known as his male co-actors. Taubman has been in some pretty well-known Hollywood films. Böhrnsen I must admit I have not heard of I think, but I see she has been in some Til Schweiger films. And it is between her and Bukowski who gave the best performance in here. Both certainly elevated the material and the film for example got a lot worse when Bukowski's character died. Goeske is simply not good enough to carry the second half of this film mostly on his own. A bad casting decision. Böhrnsen is also incredibly easy on the eyes and it helps, but I also think her performance was fairly strong. As for Ulrich, she is entirely forgettable and her character is probably also the one who was written the worst in here. The suicide scene makes little to no sense. Goeske's character was written badly too, but there it is a mix of bad performance, casting and writing overall I guess and he is of course the central character in this film, it is a bit of a negative deal-breaker. What a shame.The horror action does not really feel that convincing overall. Lets just say there are many magnetic and electric and acoustic irregularities causing havoc for the protagonists. And the question if Taubman's character (who appears surprisingly briefly only though) is a main antagonist, a smart helpful guy or something in-between. What I actually liked about the film was the simple premise. 4 young people out there for a geocaching event and also thanks to the different physical looks (hair colors for example), it is easy to keep in memory who is who and who stands for what. That's also why I believe this introduction part was done very well and the first 30 minutes or so were when the film was at its best. Unfortunately, when the focus is really on the horror element, it all gets worse really quickly. The metal bug scene at the very end also feels a bit desperate in terms of scare factor as it cannot make up for all the weaknesses before that. And the ending that implies some kind of police/political conspiracy is also not half as smart as it attempts to be. I really wanted to like this more than I did and it only worked out for me for one third of the movie. It's a thumbs-down overall. Not recommended and as a whole it did not get me curious about potential future projects by Klein if he returns to making films. Not recommended.

Tecnically, it is in my opinion just an average 3D Movie. Nothing special about acting, nothing special about special-effects, nice but not overwhelming 3D-effects, pretty straight forward story-line. I still gave 7 out of of 10 points. Let me explain: Why not less? The movie thrilled me from time to time. That was exactly what i was expecting and what I wanted to see. No hardcore slasher, just a thrilling story of 4 teenagers in the forest. Why not more? In my opinion, neither acting, special effects, storyline or 3D-effects were that extraordinary that I would want to watch the movie again and again and again. I do not want to say that all of this was bad, please beware... It just didn't overwhelm me. But there is indeed one point that I really want to criticize badly. Before watching this movie I have never heard anything in my life about "geocaching". Didn't know that this exists. In my opinion the background of "geocaching" was not explained sufficiently at the beginning of that movie (only if you had watched the specials at the DVD or BluRay. I think it took me until the jump into the lake until I really understood what "geochaching" is all about.

Saw it last night. A better film than some comments would suggest. Following clues in a GPS cache event, four teens find themselves in what appears to be an abandoned military installation. As is typical for these movies, the characters act in obviously stupid ways, and find themselves in deep trouble as the facility wakes up. A clever concept, executed fairly well. Not a horror film, but it generates considerable tension. The characters are believable, and the underlying scientific concepts are close enough to reality to add some paranoiac spice to the mix. Might even be true. The film has good sound recording, but the 3-D adds nothing.

a really bad experience. The first part of the movie, dealing with geo-caching has a lot of errors and mistakes. Old technology of the GPS but it is possible to dive with them an you can obviously use it under water (which you can't, and they are not water-proofed either). The guys find dope-cookies in the cache-box and they are in the box for half a year and so on and so forth. Even the trading with the box aspect is not quite correct. The Horror part on the other hand has got inconsistencies where ever you look. A guy who knows the danger on the site but won't move away. Electric devices behave physically strange and worst of all it is not scary at all. So please do you a favour and don't watch this movie.
