There is, apparently now, a "Searching" universe, a world in which beloved family members suddenly disappear, leaving worried relatives to pore over their internet footprint, sleuthing through all their digital touchstones until they can be recovered.

I speak, of course, about "Searching," Aneesh Chaganty's surprisingly engaging 2018 film, which followed the anguished trials of a widowed dad (John Cho), after his teenage daughter suddenly disappears, using all the tricks of the internet age -- Google, chatrooms, IG images, emails, texts, maps, et al. -- to track her down in time for a rescue.

Nicholas D. Johnson and Will Merrick's film "Missing" actually opens with re-created shots of the last film's conclusion, taken from an episode of a fictional TV show called "Unfiction," a true-crime reality show, watched by June (Storm Reid), a teen whose own father, James (Tim Griffin), passed away when she was little, leaving her with a single-parent mother, Grace (Nia Long), with whom she is often in contretemps.

Missing (2023, dir. Nicholas D. Johnson & Will Merrick) - review by Rookie-Critic

Found footage horror is a genre of film that, though the market got a little over-saturated with it in the 2010s, has managed to turn out some of the most classic movies that modern horror has to offer. Movies like The Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity, and Cloverfield are all mainstays nowadays, not just among horror fans, but in the world of film, in general. It even started to eke outside of the horror world with films like 2012's Chronicle, which acts as more of a sci-fi, subversive superhero film than a horror one. Then, moving past just the idea of "person free-handing a physical camera in story that acts as the footage that makes up the film," 2014's Unfriended sought to slightly evolve the genre, taking the footage from the camera lens to the computer screen by choosing to tell its story through a screen recording. That format, too, would break out of the horror genre in 2018 with the John Cho-led film Searching, which presents as more of a crime-thriller. I mention all of this to bring context to the subject of today's review, Missing.

Acting as more of a spiritual successor than a sequel to Searching, Missing is another story told from the point-of-view of device screens: mainly the screen of a Macbook used by the film's main character. I walked into the theater thinking I was about to be underwhelmed by this movie. I never watched Searching, even though I love John Cho, because it seemed gimmicky to me (I never watched Unfriended, either). I wasn't sold that a story told in that format could convey itself as well as actually being able to get up and follow the characters' motions through the world they are inhabiting. So, when the trailer for Missing dropped, I had two thoughts: 1) I can't believe they made another one of these, and 2) it looks like they gave the whole film away in the trailer anyway. Imagine my surprise to then walk out of the theater two hours later, very impressed by the story they were able to weave. I was enthralled. The story, they mystery, the influence that the constraint of this storytelling format has on your imagination and your patience. It's as close as a movie can come to telling the story from a first person perspective, as you are just as in the dark as the main character is. There is only one time in the entire film where you are given information that the protagonist doesn't have, and even that is done in a way that doesn't break the flow of the format. The writing is so tightly wound and Storm Reid, who plays the film's protagonist, is so captivating that together they draw you in. You buy into the story (or at least I did) to the point where you're barely even noticing the "gimmick" of the film telling its story through device screens unless the filmmakers want you to notice. Directors Nicholas D. Johnson & Will Merrick have cracked that crucial ingredient to making a successful "found footage" film: you write a story that is benefited by using this format. You can't just slap a found footage style on a movie that could have been filmed in a more traditional style, you make it to where the found footage method is the only style that film can work in. I truly believe that Missing benefited greatly from this fairly new evolution on found footage, and would not have been even half as interesting had it been presented in any other format than this.

All my raving and rambling aside, it's still not a perfect film. There are almost too many plot twists or revelatory moments, so many that I came very close to getting plot twist fatigue, and that would be a major detriment to the film if its big "oh shit" plot twist wasn't so wild. It really wipes a lot of those other moments away and brings you back down, allowing you to buy back into the drama of it. The other big problem with the film is that a good chunk of the dialogue is pretty corny. There is an element of humor in the film, a lot of which is visual-based, and a lot of which I did quite enjoy, but the corny dialogue did come off as more of a distraction than an endearment, and it is pretty persistent throughout the entire movie. It won't be topping any "best of" lists or winning any awards, but Missing was deceptively very good, despite a couple of tiring elements, and it just proves that as long as the writing is solid and the story is strong, gimmicks don't have to be or feel gimmicky. Any format works as long as the effort and care are put in.

Score: 8/10

Currently only in theaters.

Horse Meshi. Delicious, in Horse.

#dungeon meshi #laois touden #marcille donato #senshi #chilchuk tims #Anne II #I am over a week late to make this relevant but dear god I love the kelpie chapter.#if not for the several layers of foreshadowing then the reveal that nearly everyone in the party is a passionate horse lover.#Truly the best part of dungeon meshi is the sheer love of horses each character has. Fantastic equines by Ryoko Kui.#Chilchuck gets to be a little wary given what goes down in the bicorn chapter.#Rest in peace Anne I and Anne II. You were beautiful horses.#The pain I felt upon re-reading dungeon meshi and realizing that Senshi called the kelpie Anne...Hurts bad!#By the way I have strong feeling about MLP AU with these characters - but I would like to assert that Senshi is earth pony coded #and chilchuck is pegasus coded. I was struggling to draw my vision and went with whatever my pen chose.#Laios is a griffin because...come on if he made a MLP AU of his friends he would be nothing else.
