In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

This movie started off by annoying me, given that I found the scene in which Taylor starts a conversation with Alex to be very implausible; who would just meet someone and carry his bags, without even asking? That being aside, as the movie goes, I began enjoying it. Scott asks too many questions to Alex about his trip, which makes the spectator feel the intriguing atmosphere filmmakers want to build. From the sex scene on, I began feeling agonized with such mysterious vibe the atmosphere has gotten into-- and that is very good in a suspenseful movie. However, several plot holes appeared in a matter of minutes, which spoiled almost every good point the story had. For instance, why on earth would Alex take the medicine-- probably coming from Taylor-- without asking what was that? He took the pills and THEN asked which are they! Not only that, but the couple sometimes acted TOO dumbly, even for this kind of movie. As another example, why didn't they JUST LEAVE while Taylor was sleeping? Instead of that, they always tell Taylor that "they're leaving in the next day", which allowed him to plan his tricks. It feels like they ALWAYS postponed the breakaway instead of just running away! In the end, filmmakers don't let spectator know why on earth Taylor did that to the couple, or even if he was a bad person anyways. All the movie's atmosphere was built on the unknown behavior of Taylor and the outcome doesn't deliver anything. All in all, "Gone" is the kind of film that you can only enjoy if you strongly turn off your brains and just believe everything that is being shown, otherwise, it will not pleasure you.

GONE is a small-scale psychological thriller along the lines of DEAD CALM, KALIFORNIA and plenty more besides. In essence, it's a three-hander involving a group of young people on a road trip across the Australian outback, but it's no WOLF CREEK. In fact, it's no anything: this turns out to be completely uninvolving, purely because the script fails to get you empathising with the characters.British scriptwriter James Watkins co-wrote this with an Aussie and it's a real stinker. Watkins also wrote MY LITTLE EYE and EDEN LAKE, both of which I enjoyed a great deal more than this, so maybe it's the Australian influence. The dialogue is lame, with almost the whole film consisting of people arguing, and the tension is non-existent. For a thriller this has zero thrills and zero suspense.The actors try their hardest but they're saddled with unappealing characters. Shaun Evans plays a guy who is slightly obnoxious and full of himself, and he's the lead. Not a good start. Scott Mechlowicz is a little better as the stranger, but he's way too subdued and you can tell he's miscast in this type of role. Amelia Warner has a completely horrible and misjudged character and can do nothing with it.GONE is lifeless and lacking in intrigue throughout, with lots of drawn-out and repetitive arguments going nowhere. Something DOES finally happen in the last five minutes but it's entirely predictable as is the rest of the movie. There was potential here, but it disappears very early on.

The story is too dry, and the whole story is not interesting at all.I was almost asleep. and horror? not at all.My life has been wasted 88 minutes. I can never claim the 88min back.For young people that are 18 years old, they may actually learn something from the movie, especially when they deal with strangers.For experienced adult, this movie is like a cartoon education for your kid, and nothing is quit logical.the main characters are performing well, so as to make audience asleep. Taylor is picked up well, and he is 'handsome'.the girl in the movie is so so, ordinary looking and not much attractive.the end of the story is so lame.

Another poor attempt to make a horror/thriller.This movie actually starts of OK moving very slowly along but keeping you watching because you want to find out more I thought this film was going to be a good horror/thriller going in to detail about 'Taylors' dark side but it tells you nothing not why he is the way he is or why he does what he does and has a predictable ending which I have seen in movies an endless amount of times before. I don't recommend this film unless you want to waste 90 minutes of your life there was a story here it could have worked if a little more thought had gone into how they was going to draw the film to an end and finding out about 'Taylors' dark side this may have been another cliché horror of psycho in some deserted place killing victims with no explanation of why. The acting was poor, the characters were dumb and unrealistic and you wouldn't actually get any signal in a deserted desert in the outbacks of Australia. I rate this movie 3/10 because it started of OK and kept you watching just a shame they ruined it by making it like most other horror films.
