Review of The Abandoned (2006) by George B — 23 Jul 2009

This was a great movie. Elaborate, interwoven, out of linear time, complex, creepy, disturbing and excruciating in.

Its ability to successfully not only bring you into the story, yet, drag you along into its atmosphere and premise.

There are only a handful of movies I would group this with.

Any horror or thriller film shot outside of the United States is always going to be better than anything that Hollywood puts out these days. Sure, it may not make as.

Much as the mainstream, yet this movie is satisfying in so.

Many ways. Marie half-heartedly stumbles into the possibility of finding out more about her background, which.

Gradually shifts from survival to simply accepting that she is going to die a specific way.

Many people wouldn't like this movie, because the good guys don't win, this isn't that kind of movie. In essence, it is the realities we create in our lives that ultimately fashion.

Our demise, and ultimately the way in which we go.

The classic tale of a person attempting to escape the inevitable, done in such a way that leaves the viewing moved,.

Changed and lost in thought.

It is well worth the watch!
