Lost Place (2013)

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

How could anyone find this scary or even believable is beyond me. It is tons of little things that don't add up. Firstly the guys weird contraption in the car that gives it a turbo boost....why?!! It just seems pointless. The geocache part was okay. When you find a cache you may take something and should leave something. I don't know that gps works under water but maybe they had one that does as I have seen underwater caches. I liked the fact that the characters looked different, unlike American films where everyone is a carbon copy of each other and you cannot tell who is who. It had the potential to be a really interesting story. Maybe if people know a little about HAARP before watching it will make more sense as the movie doesn't explain it. It just briefly touches on it and shows some pics and a folder with no explanation. Maybe it was just translated badly and a lot of things got lost, who knows. The random guy in the woods....why was he staying there when he knew it was dangerous? What the heck was a campsite doing near this secret facility? When they built the campsite they would have seen the signs saying "radiation danger" and yet they built a clearly well used site. Where did all the people go? Why does a gov't facility have no guards? How did the guy know the code to get in to write it on the dirt...did he work there before? How is this tower a plan for WW3 or to brainwash people? You can't really brainwash dead people Why is there radiation? Radiation has nothing to do with electromagnetic anything. Pick one or the other and if you are going to pick both, give a reason or backup. I mean...the electromagnetism and mind control, okay, then where does the random radiation come in to play. !!!!!! If they were exposed to that much radiation they would not be able to just leave. They were be radioactive. The body they bring out with the hand outside the bag...WHYYYYY It isn't scary, we know it's a body in the bag and also that body would be radioactive and need to be shielded not have the hand sticking out. Really .... the cops and locals have no idea this tower exists, come on. Anyone staying in that camp would know it, it was right up the hill. Why are the lights turning off behind them when they get into the facility? Were there people watching them? I HIGHLY doubt the computers of a top secret facility would be left open so you could scroll through at your leisure. They get into that main control room where the computers are and find a radiation suit and start freaking out over radiation....well firstly, that room had lockers and the bathroom had soap, meaning the people who worked there CLEARLY suited up and washed or whatnot in that room. Meaning the room was most likely protected from radiation so what the heck they are freaking out about is beyond me. They could have stayed in that room and tried to phone for help. They find one suit, yet there are lockers, maybe try looking for another suit?!!! and on and on and on the ridiculousness, which is a shame because it is an idea that in the right hands could have been a neat movie

Tecnically, it is in my opinion just an average 3D Movie. Nothing special about acting, nothing special about special-effects, nice but not overwhelming 3D-effects, pretty straight forward story-line. I still gave 7 out of of 10 points. Let me explain: Why not less? The movie thrilled me from time to time. That was exactly what i was expecting and what I wanted to see. No hardcore slasher, just a thrilling story of 4 teenagers in the forest. Why not more? In my opinion, neither acting, special effects, storyline or 3D-effects were that extraordinary that I would want to watch the movie again and again and again. I do not want to say that all of this was bad, please beware... It just didn't overwhelm me. But there is indeed one point that I really want to criticize badly. Before watching this movie I have never heard anything in my life about "geocaching". Didn't know that this exists. In my opinion the background of "geocaching" was not explained sufficiently at the beginning of that movie (only if you had watched the specials at the DVD or BluRay. I think it took me until the jump into the lake until I really understood what "geochaching" is all about.

I'm gonna start this by saying I actually quite enjoyed this. It's lo fi sci fi horror. It's not proper horror so your not gonna get a good scare out of it. But it was well acted and the premise for the story is OK. It's all centered around a harrp weather system which causes danger to our intrepid 4 young pioneers. It's fun and they girls are fit , some die , some live till the end. It was entertaining , and had this of been made in the eighties it would have stood up as a classic of the time , of course nowadays things have changed. Oh and must mention that it is German , which made it a bit diff for me , girls were so hot , omg...

a really bad experience. The first part of the movie, dealing with geo-caching has a lot of errors and mistakes. Old technology of the GPS but it is possible to dive with them an you can obviously use it under water (which you can't, and they are not water-proofed either). The guys find dope-cookies in the cache-box and they are in the box for half a year and so on and so forth. Even the trading with the box aspect is not quite correct. The Horror part on the other hand has got inconsistencies where ever you look. A guy who knows the danger on the site but won't move away. Electric devices behave physically strange and worst of all it is not scary at all. So please do you a favour and don't watch this movie.
