Even though theres an increasing number of horror movies right now, not least ones with characters left open in unfamiliar surroundings (Wolf Creek, Hostel, Vacancy--and plenty more besides), its worth making some time in your life for Gone. Its a small British film, shot in Australia, with a lot more bite than youd expect it to have. Here, the lead characters in question are a pair of in-love backpackers, who, while rambling across Australian desert, meet a stranger on their travels. Things, without giving too much away, escalate from there, but thanks to the wise restraint of first-time director Ringan Ledwidge, events in Gone are kept very taut and extremely tense. Eschewing gimmicks and gore, instead the film is very focused, perhaps a little unambitious, but nonetheless highly effective. Ledwidges cast serve him very well, too. Shaun Evans and Amelia Warner are effective as the backpackers, but its Scott Mechlowicz stranger youll be talking about once Gones credits roll. That, and the superb photography, that delivers some wonderful frames from the terrific Australian scenery. Some may find the relatively slow pace a little troubling, and there isnt much in the way of surprise in Gones locker. But as a small, quietly effective little horror, you wont feel cheated by it at all. --Jon Foster
