BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

ladymidath I found out about Lost Things from a friend of mine who works in a comic bookshop. From what I can understand, it only had a limited release. I managed to track down the DVD however. Four teens decide to go away for a weekend and they go to a secluded beach. Once there, strange things start to happen. Lost Things is a very low key, atmospheric and beautifully filmed movie. The setting is both lovely and frightening and a sense of eerie foreboding settles over the four teenagers. With the appearance of Zippo, it gets even creepier. Steve Le Marquand is excellent as Zippo and gives off a real air of menace. The four teenager are very good in their performance as well especially Lenka Kripac as Emily. This is Australian horror at it's best. Low key, believable acting, a strong storyline that grips you right from the start. This is a film that relies on good solid acting and writing rather than blood and violence. If you can find a copy, watch it. You won't be disappointed.

cabartha This was the most disappointing films I have ever seen recently. And I really hardly believe that people say goods things about this very bottom film! No reason to watch, even wonder. Be away from this one and don't waste your time with bad acting and nonsense dialogue. I don't know if you have seen Bodysnatchers -another Australian film- but this one's first 20 minutes will make you forget about this country's good examples. Awful and unnecessary. What made the people who rated with high points but they must have never seen a good movie. Two guys and two girls, a beach, a nomad guy and the rest is a question mark which makes you regret to spend the time you have. Sorry to use all these words but the only good thing about the film is ocean's great color and sounds of waves. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT rent this film.

HumanoidOfFlesh Four teenagers with the end of school on the horizon head up the New South Wales coast for a weekend of surfing,drinking and sex.The boys have told their parents they are going alone.It's only when the stranger appears and weird time anomalies occur on the beach and in the camp that they start thinking.Admittedly the premise of "Lost Things" is quite interesting,but hardly original.The film actually in many ways reminded me "Dead End".The acting is sub-par,but I must applaud the excellent work of cinematographer.The lonely beach indeed looks creepy and atmospheric and such details like the mannequin buried in the sand put the smile on my face.The climax is satisfying of itself,but is undermined by too many unanswered questions.Give it a look,however if you want to see seriously eerie horror flick that will make you think afterwards rent or buy "Session 9".6 out of 10.

Lea Greenall Don't expect a clichéd stereotypical slasher-fest with Lost Things(LT). It is thought provoking and makes you think and ask questions long after the credits finish.LT seems straight forward, the tale of 4 teenagers sneaking away for a weekend of supposed debauchery and unwholesome fun... well that's where the similarities end in comparison to the afore mentioned stereotypical slashers. LT makes you think. It is a cognitive tale that doesn't treat the audience as if they are all pubescent fools.However there are some glaring anomalies that seriously detract the viewer. Firstly the two lead teenage male actors are too similar in appearance and mannerisms; it was difficult to distinguish them at times. The screenplay seemed to lose its way with continuity and dialogue in places that was actually frustrating. And the editing and cinematography seemed to be jumbled and 'roughly cut' with shots and scenes thrown together haphazardly even when the viewer has the benefit of hindsight at the end of the film.Overall though LT is a clever little outing. It would score higher but for the technical downfalls. I for one though do appreciate a good cognitive thriller ... and Lost Things tried.
