SergiPavl It's a widely exploited\explored idea to try and find answers to what happens to a soul once it's out of the physical body, the stress is on the soul being in this state of "out of", the state of undecidedness, unclarity, ambiguity, obscurity, blindness & uncertainty.2 things came to my mind after watching the film: 1.the saying that one is destined\doomed to repeat his\her history if it's not properly remembered 2."The Others" starring Nicole Kidman. I suggest u compare the two films.A careful & attentive viewer could accept the film as being about(or mostly about or,at least, preferentially about) Life & Death(capitals), like The Others for instance, & not about life & death. The latter is the case with virtually every movie nowadays; and that's OK; because it's natural(or "nature"); but it's not that important(in my view) because the latter(l&d) is a local perception while the former(L&D)- is a global one.

HumanoidOfFlesh Four teenagers with the end of school on the horizon head up the New South Wales coast for a weekend of surfing,drinking and sex.The boys have told their parents they are going alone.It's only when the stranger appears and weird time anomalies occur on the beach and in the camp that they start thinking.Admittedly the premise of "Lost Things" is quite interesting,but hardly original.The film actually in many ways reminded me "Dead End".The acting is sub-par,but I must applaud the excellent work of cinematographer.The lonely beach indeed looks creepy and atmospheric and such details like the mannequin buried in the sand put the smile on my face.The climax is satisfying of itself,but is undermined by too many unanswered questions.Give it a look,however if you want to see seriously eerie horror flick that will make you think afterwards rent or buy "Session 9".6 out of 10.

lost-in-limbo Two guys and their girls head out for a surfing trip for the weekend along a lonely beach line. Things start getting very weird and nightmarish when they encounter a strange scruffy man living nearby and certain actions and surroundings seem quite familiar. It's like they have been through it all before.Every once in awhile you come across a film that's quite unique in its own way, compared to the norm. That's how I feel about "Lost Things", although it's not a film everyone would get into. Giving too much away in the plot outline can definitely spoil this flick, but certain people will know where this film is heading and pick up on the plentiful cryptic messages, the loop and major twist. But if that is the case for you, it's still able to keep it really intense and quite compelling. It does leave you hanging there. The first time I watched this haunting Australian Indie flick it just happened to be an accident. I didn't know what to make off it back then, but with my recent viewing it has kinda hit the mark. Still it had me thinking, "Well that was just bizarre!" This is one strangely fascinating, psychological journey of one coming to terms with extreme fear and death. What makes it quite mind-boggling is that it takes on an enigmatic, supernatural spin to its cerebral material. It's about who's watching whom within a certain space and time. Things seem to fall into place quite naturally, despite some irritate factors involving ragged editing, which gave the film a convoluted feel at times and confusing spots in the script. The largely spaced out and closed up feel that surrounds the film emerges from the beautiful, but extremely eerie backdrop and the otherworldly music score that's strongly effective in that unsettling and alienating manner. Trumping in were some jolting images, illusions and sounds effects that hit you from all sides. All of this action mostly occurs during daylight, but still manages to touch a nerve by trapping you in. During these weird going ons, there's the usual teen antics one would associate. None of it distracts, but gives it a sense of realism and a more then believable rapport between the characters. The young cast involving Leon Ford, Charlie Garber, Lenka Kripac and Alex Vaughan gave fair, but likable performances, though it was the punctuating performance of Steve Le Marquand as the very freaky Zippo that made real headway.Interesting, ambitious and spiralling film-making comes together in this little complex and uncanny fare. So do you know, who you are?

Shaneequa Beaverhousin How marvelous to see an entertaining and thoughtful horror film come from Australia! As a regular moviegoer, and an Australian, I love watching all sorts of Australian films. I was lucky enough to see a special screening of lost things last year, which included a discussion with the director and various crew members. I must admit that, at first, I found lost things to be quite ridiculous. Some dialog seemed strange and there were some wobbly acting moments. But quite soon after-wards, I was really drawn in by the stunning landscape, and as the plot began to thicken, I was truly captivated. "Lost Things" was an enchanting experience, and most importantly, it was a horror film which managed to, in some respect, defy the genre, by placing itself in the beautiful Australian beach landscape by day. Also amazing was the twist. A horror film that made me think! Definitely not your usual "slasher flick," Lost things wasn't a "Look Both Ways" or "Little Fish," but was most definitely a considerable achievement.
