Critic Reviews

  • Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

    The Lost succeeds as both a superior crime drama and a haunting cautionary tale.

  • Steve Biodrowski, ESplatter

    Fans looking for a decent thriller or a frightening fear flick had best look elsewhere.

  • Bryant Frazer, Bryant Frazer's Deep Focus

    If the ability to genuinely disturb is any measure of a horror film's quality, then The Lost is a pretty good one.

  • Felix Vasquez Jr., Cinema Crazed

    Makes a great case for being a cult classic...

  • Luke Y. Thompson, LYTRules.com

    The examination of a wounded male ego run amuck shows what we should fear in ourselves as well as others

    Excellent adaptation of Ketchum's terrific novel. One of the only films I've ever seen that deal with a psychopath not as pure evil, in fact, except for the horrific act at the beginning, the horror remains completely in the background for the majority of the film...… More
