What a waste of my time!!!

Truly Dreadful Film

Too many fans seem to be blown away

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

It's an acceptable Brazilian horror flick. It gets a couple of extra points for the initiative - it's very rare to see an independent movie with the repercussion this had, even more a horror one. 7.7 out of 10. It's nothing something that will blow your mind, but just the same, they deserve the recognition for their audacity.

I'm so sorry, but I have to say it, I'm so glad it was over. This was by far one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Desaparecidos is a Brazilian found footage movie with about 70 minutes. Even though it only has 70 minutes it looked like 5 hours to me. I must say though that my opinion should not be taken as serious as it should, mostly because my biggest problem with the whole movie was the language. Since Portuguese and Brazilian are both referred as "portuguese" I thought I could watch this without subtitles, and actually I could, but I wasn't able to understand a huge part of the dialogue and that ruined it for me from the beginning. Brazilian is a really messy and loud language, in my opinion, and in situations of fear and panic it gets even worse, making it impossible to understand anything from my point of view. But that probably isn't a problem to foreign people because they will always watch it with subtitles. That said, I also had a lot of problems with the rest of the movie mostly because there's nothing going on all the time. Some guys get kind of lost in the woods while looking for a friend, and apart from that they just spend the whole movie running and screaming hysterically, and that's it. There's no people disappearing throughout the movie, just the one who was already missing, and they spent at least 50 minutes just running around, screaming. The fact that it is a found footage movie makes it even more annoying because all we see are leaves and trees and woods, nothing much. The end was rushed just to make them all disappear like the title says, so they ALL go missing in the last 5 minutes and not throughout the movie as it was expected as a horror movie. To end this, I must point to the fact that the police at the end is grabbing evidence with their bare hands, no gloves no nothing, and they don't seem to really know what they're doing.

Well, the plot of the movie isn't a great surprise: a bunch of young people lost in the middle of nowhere. You take this and add the new wave of "lost footage", like Blair With Project did and many others copied after, and you have this movie.But if you had nothing new on this movie and still had a great movie, an entertaining film, you could not get disappointed. The main problem starts here: it's just more of the same, but with lost of bad actors, bad camera, bad effects, bad make up, terrible sound, dialogs. Everything in this movie is badly done, and if you don't notice it have just 70 minutes, you will think in the end that you were watching this for about 5 hours.

In São Paulo, the friends Alexa (Charlene Chagas), Rodrigo (André Madrini), Kamila (Natalia Vidal), Marco (Pedro Urizzi), Fábia (Fernanda Peviani) e Carla (Adriana Veraldi) receive an invitation to a party in Ilhabela together with a video camera with a necklace. When Rodrigo goes with a girl to the woods to have sex, he panics and gets lost and his friends seek him out. The group vanishes in the woods and their cameras are found later disclosing tragic events."Desaparecidos" is an amateurish and annoying home video of bad quality. After the original "The Blair Witch Project", the documentary "style" using a Handycam has become the favorite of people that wants to make a cheap film. The result is terrible and for Brazilian natives, we have to bear also the dreadful accent from São Paulo in addition to the screams and hysterical and histrionic unconvincing acting. My vote is one (awful).Title (Brazil): "Desaparecidos" ("Missing")
