Today we caught wind of a new UK horror film entitled THE DISAPPEARED, which was directed by Johnny Kevorkian and stars Harry Treadaway, Matthew Ryan, Greg Wise, Jake Ryan, Tom Felton, Simon, Alex Jennings, Adrian Ballan and Ros Leeming. The British, London set gritty horror film is said to be in the style of THE ORPHANAGE AND THE SIXTH SENSE and will be premiering at London's Frightfest this August. Check out the film's official website for a trailer and more info, or just read on for a long synopsis.
Matthew blames himself for the mysterious disappearance of his younger brother Tom. He was partying at his London council flat when Tom went missing. With police at a dead end, Matthew starts hearing chilling voices on the recording of a news conference and begins questioning his sanity. Blamed and ignored by his troubled father, he visits a clairvoyant who reveals a history of missing children in the area. When his best friend Simon’s sister is also abducted, the ghostly voices guide him to the shocking truth. For in an underground labyrinth he is confronted by a satanic killer and terrifying knowledge that dark forces are manipulating destiny. In the tradition of The Omen and The Sixth Sense comes a superbly acted and thrilling British supernatural shocker. Bound to attract critical attention and key awards, The Disappeared will put debut director Johnny Kevorkian on the genre map as a major discovery.
The trailer seemed a little bit jumbled, but the English don't really make trailers; they make movies. It's sort of the other way around here in the states. All the same, it looks interesting. Cautiously optimistic.
Wharmon...You'd be suprised to hear that we make most of the trailers you see! I'm doing work experience at a Post Production Company called LipSync, and I saw them make trailers for films like The Mummy 3 and The X Files! The trailer was just made by a bad editor.
I'm dying to see this movie. It looks great!
Does anyone know when it will have a theatrical release? Or be out on DVD?
