I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

After reading all of Paulides' books, I had such high hopes for the movie/documentary. The first case presented laid out the groundwork for the entire movie and it was severely lacking. In fact, it made the family look guilty! It was scattered and inconsistent with how the books come across. It talked about none of the key factors shared in all of the books--the common things shared among the cases. The only case that was moving and felt relevant and did the documentary justice was the Atadero case. Their heartfelt loss and sharing the events really came across and my heart goes out to them . The rest of the move was a huge disappointment. This movie could have made a huge impact but it fell very short.

I have followed David Paulides for a few years now and although this film was not what I expected I still have to applaud the excellent cinematography and work which has went into this production. Yes the main thread may provoke controversy but after watching the film again I have a different view on this. I felt that the Deorr case, for me anyway, demonstrated the difference between a 411 case and a homicide case. This may well not have been the intention but it was what I took from the film. This film is extremely important in that people MUST be made aware of what is going on out there, not just in America, but all over the world. Some people only care about themselves and that is their prerogative, however if you care about others and want to know what is happening then this work has to be supported. The film is a welcome break from all the usual CGI rubbish and I for one will watch it again and urge others to find out more about this subject.

So, from the moment I found out about the work David Paulides was doing with his books in "The Missing 411" series, my eyes were opened to an extremely bizarre and troubling phenomenon. People have been going missing in clusters around the country with mysterious circumstances and a large percentage are in national parks, and the parks system doesn't keep (or at least release) database information about these people??? This is what I believe is the true focus of this film and all of the books... to warn people of the potential danger that clearly exists but is being downplayed. We're not imagining these people missing... the information Paulides presents in the books and movies is from actual newspaper articles, police reports and witness testimony. so to give this film a bad rating because of completely unrelated situations, opinions, and unsubstantiated claims is to completely miss the point and do a disservice to the true purpose of the movie and books. Sure, we all were hoping for a ton of the thought provoking case profiles in the books to be presented, but that just logically could not happen in a 1.5 to 2 hour long film. If we really care about the people who have gone missing and their families and anyone who will potentially go missing in the future, we need to get over ourselves and help promote this movie so attention will be drawn where attention is severely needed. My heart goes out to the families that have suffered through the unthinkable, and I hope this movie and the other work Paulides is doing will honor them by bringing that much needed attention. I too selfishly wanted more, but maybe positively promoting this film will get me more sequels to satisfy my selfishness (and subsequently bring even more attention to the lost!) God bless.

Heartbreaking and thought provoking. Way more than just a documentary. To lose a child is unimaginable and heart wrenching but for a family to lose a child under unexplained circumstances, there is no acceptance or peace. Help these families to find the truth, watch and refer to others.
