Lost Place (2013) Reviews

• A decent thriller

  pb104-12014-02-01

  Saw it last night. A better film than some comments would suggest. Following clues in a GPS cache event, four teens find themselves in what appears to be an abandoned military installation. As is typical for these movies, the characters act in obviously stupid ways, and find themselves in deep trouble as the facility wakes up. A clever concept, executed fairly well. Not a horror film, but it generates considerable tension. The characters are believable, and the underlying scientific concepts are close enough to reality to add some paranoiac spice to the mix. Might even be true. The film has good sound recording, but the 3-D adds nothing.

• Lost in the woods

  kosmasp2014-07-25

  Once again as it happens so often. It still has some nice twists and story plots to it. The horror genre might be easy to access to and make movies for, but it's not easy to make a movie that will hold its own with many great movies lurking around and above it all. This one can barely make a dent, but it's not as bad as to deserve to be in the gutter with some other abominations. The production values are decent and for a German horror movie it is pretty decent told too. Of course you won't be able to escape any cliché that is hiding around the corner, shock moments and all those things. Characters are decent enough for a movie of that size and the story holds its own. Can be watched once

• Geocaching part is rubbish and the Horror part is not horrific.

  bernhard-naegele2013-09-30

  a really bad experience. The first part of the movie, dealing with geo-caching has a lot of errors and mistakes. Old technology of the GPS but it is possible to dive with them an you can obviously use it under water (which you can't, and they are not water-proofed either). The guys find dope-cookies in the cache-box and they are in the box for half a year and so on and so forth. Even the trading with the box aspect is not quite correct. The Horror part on the other hand has got inconsistencies where ever you look. A guy who knows the danger on the site but won't move away. Electric devices behave physically strange and worst of all it is not scary at all. So please do you a favour and don't watch this movie.

• Not bad. got thrilled two or three times.

  Tecnically, it is in my opinion just an average 3D Movie. Nothing special about acting, nothing special about special-effects, nice but not overwhelming 3D-effects, pretty straight forward story-line. I still gave 7 out of of 10 points. Let me explain: Why not less? The movie thrilled me from time to time. That was exactly what i was expecting and what I wanted to see. No hardcore slasher, just a thrilling story of 4 teenagers in the forest. Why not more? In my opinion, neither acting, special effects, storyline or 3D-effects were that extraordinary that I would want to watch the movie again and again and again. I do not want to say that all of this was bad, please beware... It just didn't overwhelm me. But there is indeed one point that I really want to criticize badly. Before watching this movie I have never heard anything in my life about "geocaching". Didn't know that this exists. In my opinion the background of "geocaching" was not explained sufficiently at the beginning of that movie (only if you had watched the specials at the DVD or BluRay. I think it took me until the jump into the lake until I really understood what "geochaching" is all about.

• Kind of 80s sci fi horror

  epiceffectss2014-12-05

  I'm gonna start this by saying I actually quite enjoyed this. It's lo fi sci fi horror. It's not proper horror so your not gonna get a good scare out of it. But it was well acted and the premise for the story is OK. It's all centered around a harrp weather system which causes danger to our intrepid 4 young pioneers. It's fun and they girls are fit , some die , some live till the end. It was entertaining , and had this of been made in the eighties it would have stood up as a classic of the time , of course nowadays things have changed. Oh and must mention that it is German , which made it a bit diff for me , girls were so hot , omg...
