Gone ~ finally an ending I’m happy with.



Jill Parrish (Amanda Seyfried) is crazy. Or at least that’s what the local Oregon Police department thinks. A year ago she was found in the woods claiming to escape from a kidnapping. A serial killer had thrown her into a pit in the middle of the woods, and when he finally came to kill her, like the other girls in the pit, she got away. The police searched but didn’t find anything. No pit, no evidence of abduction, no marks on Jill’s body.

Now her sister Molly is missing. Again there’s no evidence, but Jill is convinced he’s back and after her again. Molly will be dead by sunrise unless Jill can find her and the police think it’s all in her head. 

Talk about suspense. This movie was really good. It wasn’t slow. It kept you guessing, and you didn’t know up until the end who was right, Jill, or the police. I won’t give away the ending, but it was epic! Finally a movie ended in the way I could believe in. No supernatural ability of the killer to keep coming after the girl, getting up when you think they’re dead, and silly tactics like that.

“That’s what I would do.” was amusingly shouted out at the theater at the end of the movie, and they were right. Looking for a night of suspense? Put this movie on the “to do” list.
