    New Zealand thriller with a twist .......
    "Lost Tribe" is one of those films that for most of it's running time seems adrift, with the audience having no clue as to where things are heading. This actually works to the movie's advantage since curiosity keeps you watching. The screenplay could have used some tightening, and the clairvoyant little girl could have been been written out entirely. Her narration is not only distracting, but unnecessary. Strengths are the fine location photography, spooky atmosphere, and an ending that is somewhat of a mind bender. Overall, I can't say I was thrilled by "The Lost Tribe", but it is different enough to warrant a watch........ - MERK
