2006's "The Lost" was quickly lost all right, amidst at least two identical titles that appeared at roughly the same time. It really does look like it was shot in 48 hours, and the viewing is just as difficult for audiences as it is for the weary characters endlessly trudging along on screen. Wearing its antiwar theme on its heavy handed sleeve, the filmmakers even utilize a 1991 recording titled "No White Plains," voiced by the legendary Peter Cushing O.B.E., but sadly failed to use it until the final moments of its 72 minute running time. Rarely does an actor receive additional credits posthumously, but 12 years after Cushing's passing, this had to be considered a crass attempt to publicize a commercial venture of little merit.

remarkable way to shoot a film

THE LOST is a low budget film (almost nil)when I watched this film at a preview screening I was told that it was shot entirely in 48 hours. I was amazed at the result, very strong performances, gritty direction amazing production values, and to top it off a Peter Cushing Recording! Fantastic. Brilliant example of how to shoot an independent film. 48 Hours! Amazing!
Neil Jones works wonders on the budget he gets, Stuart Brennan again shines in the lead role of a Neil Jones film, they're fast becoming like a DeNiro, Scorsese partnership! Fantastic supporting performance from Edward E White and Joe Daniels.
