Rodrigo B. It's an acceptable Brazilian horror flick. It gets a couple of extra points for the initiative - it's very rare to see an independent movie with the repercussion this had, even more a horror one. 7.7 out of 10. It's nothing something that will blow your mind, but just the same, they deserve the recognition for their audacity.

JoanaMonteiro I'm so sorry, but I have to say it, I'm so glad it was over. This was by far one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Desaparecidos is a Brazilian found footage movie with about 70 minutes. Even though it only has 70 minutes it looked like 5 hours to me. I must say though that my opinion should not be taken as serious as it should, mostly because my biggest problem with the whole movie was the language. Since Portuguese and Brazilian are both referred as "portuguese" I thought I could watch this without subtitles, and actually I could, but I wasn't able to understand a huge part of the dialogue and that ruined it for me from the beginning. Brazilian is a really messy and loud language, in my opinion, and in situations of fear and panic it gets even worse, making it impossible to understand anything from my point of view. But that probably isn't a problem to foreign people because they will always watch it with subtitles. That said, I also had a lot of problems with the rest of the movie mostly because there's nothing going on all the time. Some guys get kind of lost in the woods while looking for a friend, and apart from that they just spend the whole movie running and screaming hysterically, and that's it. There's no people disappearing throughout the movie, just the one who was already missing, and they spent at least 50 minutes just running around, screaming. The fact that it is a found footage movie makes it even more annoying because all we see are leaves and trees and woods, nothing much. The end was rushed just to make them all disappear like the title says, so they ALL go missing in the last 5 minutes and not throughout the movie as it was expected as a horror movie. To end this, I must point to the fact that the police at the end is grabbing evidence with their bare hands, no gloves no nothing, and they don't seem to really know what they're doing.

edumartins Well, the plot of the movie isn't a great surprise: a bunch of young people lost in the middle of nowhere. You take this and add the new wave of "lost footage", like Blair With Project did and many others copied after, and you have this movie.But if you had nothing new on this movie and still had a great movie, an entertaining film, you could not get disappointed. The main problem starts here: it's just more of the same, but with lost of bad actors, bad camera, bad effects, bad make up, terrible sound, dialogs. Everything in this movie is badly done, and if you don't notice it have just 70 minutes, you will think in the end that you were watching this for about 5 hours.

henferdeline If you are new to Brazilian cinema, please do not take this film to be a good example of the country's production.The writer/director set out to do a "Blair Witch Project"-like movie, incorporating fake social networks profiles and fake news (somewhat alike to what was done for "The Fourth Kind").The end result was dismal.The movie fails to create a credible atmosphere from its beginning throughout the end. The actresses are reduced to screaming their way through the film - one of them can be seen frequently giggling. Acting is bad. Very bad. Monotone intonations abound. When overacting is not the case, what you get is expressionless faces. Sound and visual effects are risible at their best, sad elsewhere. The creature is crude. The argument is all but nonexistent. Dialogues actually increase disbelief. There's an excessive and unrealistic use of profanity by the characters, especially before the "plot thickens".Bottom line: if you sit and watch paint dry, you can at least hope to accomplish something in the way of meditation - no such relief can be found in this movie, even though it is as exciting.
