A follow-up to Searching (but not a sequel), Missing is the next "screenlife" film to hit it big. I personally love this style of filmmaking. Missing has enough twists and turns to keep you locked in the entire time. Some are predictable, but overall it's a solid mystery thriller. 11 months 1 week ago -

Computer screens as found footage, a missing person's thriller, even the title... When Missing started, I was like, haven't we JUST done this with Searching|? But it's kind of a reverse Searching|, with a resourceful tech-savvy teenager looking for her mom and new boyfriend when they don't return from vacation, and there are enough twists and turns that I was soon enjoying the ride. It also takes more liberty than Searching| did with the editing and moves at a nice clip. Now of course, these movies make you wonder just who has their camera feed reflected at them at all times from their computer screens, but it's a conceit we have to accept for filmic purposes. It did make the scenes where we don't know who's typing more suspenseful, because suddenly, we're thrown for a loop. Generally, Missing is clever with its premise, and the clues, realizations, etc. arrive quickly enough that you're processing them along with the protagonist. You might predict some of what happens, but when it does, it comes off as satisfying rather than tired. 1 year 3 months ago -
