Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Save your money for something good and enjoyable
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
This is hands down the worst movie I can ever remember watching. Everything was unbelievably cliché and retarded. The acting was horrible too. The camera work wasn't bad but that still couldn't redeem it. The writer/director of this film must suffer from down's syndrome if he believed this movie would help his career. I want the hour and a half of my life back that I wasted watching this crap. I would rather watch a video of the grass growing than this. I cant believe IMDb is making me write 10 lines in order to post this but I feel that this movie is so bad that I must continue to warn others about it. The reason I came about this movie is that my girlfriend requested it from the local library thinking that it was the Kris Kristoferson movie which ended up being entitled "Disappearances". I don't know whose fault it was for this garbage ending up in my DVD player but I feel that someone owes me at least $20 for my time, pain and suffering. In conclusion, the director/writer of this movie better hope i ever recognize him on the street.
For the most part 'Disappearance' is a suspenseful and watchable film. I do however, question Harry Hamlin's acting ability on occasion. For me he seems to give a lot of wooden performances, but you can overlook it this time and concentrate on the story itself. The family (father, stepmother, daughter, son and son's best friend) are on a road trip in the Nevada desert They divert about 20-30 miles from the main road to reach a known 'ghost town'. Here some very strange things have happened and they soon realise that they are actually fighting for their lives. If you can imagine something like 'The Hills Have Eyes' meets 'Wrong Turn', you're on the right path. The gradual tension and never seeing the menacing presence is a nice touch. You had to use your imagination near the end, some people don't mind others do. A low budget film with a few highlights...it's worth a watch.
I liked the movie, and I kinda got the ending. The ending is supposed to leave us speculating on what happened but if you realized this is kind of a "Sci-fi Mystery" then you realized the ending suggests very close government involvement. The government performed the "neutron bomb tests", and therefore would be constantly watching the results. Such as "mutations". One thing I noticed was when the girl fed the bird, she also spoke to it, telling it that there were no more treats. She had run out. Well, if you noticed in the movie, the guy in the jail cell, told the father, Jim, that there were mutations both human and animal. These two movie facts leads to speculation that the descendant humans and animals could communicate with one another. Also, the mutants or the government couldn't just let the "witnesses" leave and tell everybody so, they consume them. They brain wash them. OR worse, the aliens as the jail cell guy referred to, replace them with their own entities in their bodies or clones of them. It leaves a LOT of room for VERY interesting speculation AND . . . A "Disappearance 2" Call me, write me, get in touch with me because I'd LOVE to help write in it or maybe even act in it!
Normally, I have no problem with a movie or story with an ending that leaves you wondering to puzzle out what really happened, when it's done on purpose...But this movie really feels like they got all but the last 15 minutes done, then realized they had $5 left to finish on...I saw it on TBS... I recommend you not spend money on it either. If you catch it on TV, watch all but the last 15 minutes, then walk away and make your own ending in your mind.Really, the movie would have been better if they had simply got away, and come back with the State Poice of Feds only to find that the town and the car graveyard was gone, and by all appearances had never been there..."Wish I had more thumbs, so I could give that movie 4 thumbs down!"
