Ghosties and geezers combine in The Disappeared.

It may just be me, but its been a while since a good suburban ghost film hit our screens. Yes, yes you have the Haunting in Connecticut, Forks and wherever. There was 100 Feet , detailing the haunting of a wife by her dead sadistic husband. Now I’m not talking possessions, I’m not looking for scratchy messages in blood on people’s stomachs saying ‘Kill me!’ What I’m looking for is a jump out of your seat ghosty thriller, toned down on the gore, turned up on the spook!

Potentially ‘The Disappeared’ directed by Johnny Kevorkian may deliver this supernatural shiver I desire. The film is summarised as follows:

“Do you believe in ghosts? Matthew didn’t until his younger brother Tom disappeared from the city playground. Since that day Matthew has held himself responsible. When he begins to see images and hear the voice of his missing brother, Matthew begins to wonder if he is losing his mind. But as more children start disappearing, he realizes it doesn’t matter what or who is real. He knows that if he continues to listen to what Tom is trying to tell him, he can uncover the truth. Could it be his alcoholic father who has done this to their family? Or the gang of uncontrollable teens who terrorize any child who gets in their way? As Matthew struggles to put the pieces together, he realizes he cannot trust anyone. Will Matthew ever find his brother and the other missing children, or will it be too late?”

The Brit’s are coming out with some quality horror at the moment, hopefully ‘The Disappeared’ will be no exception. Below is the trailer courtesy of Dailymotion.

Also keep in mind the huge plus:  they all speak like they’re in ‘The Bill‘… lovely, your nicked govna!

    Looks good… I love it when swings in parks just keep on swinging… whose on the swing?

    I think ghost stories are the most subtle and therefore difficult to write or portray on film. The Japanese get it. I’d like to see the Brits here get it too.

    I admit to one big reservation: once a medium is brought in, I tend to lose interest.

    But yes, those empty swinging swings…

    Doesn’t look too bad, I’m always up for a ghost flick with the hopes that it will be well done.
