Inmechon The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs.

BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Thomas Luckens Man, this movie is really something. Where do I begin? Do I start with the two dumb girls in the beginning that deserved to die? Or that stupid pregnant woman who got stabbed in the back? There's just so much humor in this movie that I can barely fit it all into one review. I mean, the violence here is so freaking funny! I love to see a pregnant woman and her fetus die just like anybody else, but the way she and the baby are killed is just so hilarious! Every death in this movie will have you busting a gut. Literally! When you realize that babies are completely useless and that pregnant women are only good for killing and getting kicked in the stomach, you'll see how funny this movie is! I believe this is a great family film to watch with the kids. They can learn how to properly murder pregnant girls and rip out their fetuses and kill them. That would be great if every kid was taught how to do that. Oh, and the screams from all the other women are pretty funny too. It's pretty funny to see the look of terror on their face as they watch the killings happen. I only wish there was more rape so I could laugh at that too. So, in conclusion, this is a great film to watch if you absolutely hate babies, like I do. If you wish they would all die, you have to watch this film. You won't be disappointed!

Scott LeBrun Jack Ketchum's novel, itself inspired by a true story, provides the basis for this chilling look at the actions of a young sociopath, not giving a damn about anybody or anything, and capable of chilling acts of violence. One day, he murders two young women, and his two friends, despite their misgivings about his character, cover up for him. Cut to four years later, and he's still walking around free. Detectives know he's guilty, but can't prove it. It's only a matter of time until the unhinged young man will explode again, and when he believes the people in his life, including his new girlfriend, are all betraying him or letting him down, the stage is set for a bloody revenge.This works more like a series of episodes for a while, rather than an ongoing story, and is deliberately paced and character driven. Writer / co-producer / director Chris Sivertson sometimes goes for stylistic flourishes, but more often than not handles the material in a straightforward manner. It manages to be subtly spooky and only towards the end does it really get intense; this final act is shocking in its brutality. There's a bit of titillation (breast shots and full fledged nudity) and a respectable amount of gore at the end. As the movie goes on, one feels more and more uncomfortable in the presence of such a smarmy psycho. Actor Marc Senter is compelling in the lead role of Ray Pye, playing him with an effective mixture of uneasy charm and genuine creepiness. His co-stars Shay Astar, Alex Frost, Megan Henning, and Robin Sydney are also good in their own way, and some excellent veterans - Michael Bowen, Ed Lauter, and Dee Wallace - provide some wonderful support. Lauter has one of his best roles in a while, but it's disappointing to see Wallace's participation basically limited to one big scene. Ruby Larocca and always delectable Misty Mundae play the murder victims in the opening sequence.One may wish that the ending weren't as abrupt as it is (there's no epilogue of any kind), but all in all "The Lost" is fairly potent stuff that doesn't leave the viewer unaffected. Ketchum really is a master at telling these grim and gut wrenching horror stories.Seven out of 10.

Thebe Bashaleebee I was ready to turn this off in the first couple minutes but withheld and did wind up watching to the end. Did not care for the many dragged out T&A scenes.Best acting was done by lead actor Marc Sentor who played Ray Pye. He looked like and even his acting reminded me of a cross between a young Ray Liotta and Rob Lowe. Hope he gets more lead roles in better scripts because he deserves it.Sometimes it reminded of American Psycho though the only pop tune it played on and off as sound track was "I'm a Pied Piper" from the 60's. I guess why I rated it only a five is because I didn't care for most of the characters and outside of Ray Pye they were under developed. Again, more could have been done there over the extended T&A scenes. Nearly every character we did somewhat get to know was dysfunctional and not totally likable. Sometimes it was difficult to tell who was the sickest personality or character.I would have rather seen more suspense and logical/realistic detective work rather than Pye having a meltdown or whatever that was. Also didn't care for the ending or the big climax.But kudos to Marc Sentor, I'd give him a 10 out of 10 for his stellar performance. It's worth a watch if you can handle the T&A.

MrGKB ...that Tobe Hooper is a DVD quote whore, and writer/director/producer Chris Sivertson undoubtedly deserved his Razzie for "I Know Who Killed Me." Gotta say I'm glad I picked this one up cheap, and most surely will be selling it off again asap. "The Lost" is a prime example of a film that should be. Based on a novel by one of the better known (or so I'm told) "splatter punk" writers, "The Lost" fails to translate into anything exciting, despite a plenitude of sex and violence. It's certainly not a horror movie, although it's gruesome enough. It's not a thriller because there's no tension, no dramatic build. Syd Field would be aghast. With brand-name actors and a smarter, tenser, terser script, it might have come to something, but alas, that was not to be. It's a character study that only intermittently focuses on its alleged subject, one Ray Pye, a Norman Bates wanna-be who "pops" a few young campers as a teenager just to see what it feels like, and then proceeds to go postal four years later when the unwitting accomplices to his crime finally break under the pressure of their guilt. Mostly well shot, but poorly edited, "The Lost" abruptly jerks and fades its way along its threadbare storyline, pausing along the way for target audience demographic enhancement in the plentiful form of gratuitous nudity, vulgarity, and stupidity. Beyond that, it offers nothing new to any genre. What "style" it may or may not have is all over the place, at times reminding me of lo-fi exploitation with a higher-fi budget--like what a multi-million dollar Jim Van Bebber film might look like--and other times betraying a film school eagerness to impress. It all plays out a jumbled mess, with little pace and no tension, shallow characters and banal dialogue. Surely the novel is better. Surely.Desperation, time-killing viewing only. Appearances by Dee "The Howling" Wallace-Stone and Ed "Cujo" Lauter provided them nice paychecks, I trust. It gets a "4" from me strictly for reasonably decent production values and random titillation; otherwise, this baby could only be loved by its parents. You want something that will unnerve you, go watch "Repulsion," or maybe "Funny Games."
