Absentia (2011)
Horror themes, violence and coarse language
| Director: | Mike Flanagan |
| Actors: | Courtney Bell, Katie Parker, Dave Levine, Morgan Peter Brown, Justin Gordon, Doug Jones |
Tricia's husband has been missing for seven years. Her younger sister Callie comes to live with her as the pressure mounts to finally declare him dead in absentia. As Tricia sifts through the wreckage and tries to move on with her life, Callie finds herself drawn to an ominous tunnel near the house. As she begins to link it to other mysterious disappearances, it becomes clear that his presumed death might be anything but natural. Soon it becomes clear that the ancient force at work in the tunnel might have set its sights on Callie and Tricia...and that Tricia's husband might be suffering a fate far worse than death in its grasp.

I agree with what all below me have said. Its a bit slow, but it keeps you interested. It has a good story line but it just didn't go anywhere & the ending was pretty c**p. It could have been so much better. I watched it with my teen son & we
agreed it was not that bad, we have seen worse.

Bizzare, not the best actors, slightly confusing but it does draw you in.

Obviously filmed on a very low budget with actors that actually look like normal human beings rather than super-models, Absentia proved to be marginally better than I was expecting. This is not a great film by any standards, but the cast is competent and the storyline fairly engaging until it runs out of steam (and logic) in the final scenes. Verdict : you could do worse on a rainy weekend or boring weeknight.
