They're all dead people, I promise

The Disappeared (2008)

I'm not an ignorant person by any stretch, but there were a few scenes in this, mostly ones with Tom Felton, that made exactly no sense to me. I couldn't understand what they were saying, or even what they were referring to and so there was a bit of guess work on my part, but I think I got through it okay.

This had all the potential to be a crime story-turned-supernatural thriller, which it was, but they turned it around again and doubled back over the crime and supernatural bits and then just kept ironing it in like they were trying to beat it into our heads with a rock or something. Oh wait, that's a spoiler.

This next part is all spoilers, too. Everything in this movie is predictable. I can actually recount in my head all of the moments that I turned to look at dracoslovebunny and said something along the lines of, 'I bet that bitch is a ghost', or 'It was the priest. He looks shady as shit'. dracoslovebunny won her gold trophy in psychic future reading when she all but yelled 'Tom Felton better not die' and then he did. He died a lot. We didn't even know he was in this until his name popped up on the screen. It was a nice surprise and he wasn't awful *COUGH* PLANETOFTHEAPES *COUGH* so I can't complain beyond not understanding anything he said.

And the ending. It was lame. He beat this guy's head in with a rock and then the guy went missing, like wtf no. I get that he was some kind of, I don't know, immortal semi-vampire who likes to torture children or set people on fire or paint weird shit in underground tunnels or whatever but when your head gets crushed by rock, it's over.

It's over.
