devindaamarathunga001 I always enjoy these type of movies, & for a TV movie it does great justice, and you will not regret watching it. The only confusing part is the movie does not do any explaining at all to the viewer reg the actual plot. One can interpret it in many ways & this is what I think.SPOILER ALERT!!!!!! I'm 100% sure that most of the towns people are all past victims, And their bodies have been snatched by some entity. Their true identity has been lost. How there bodies are stolen, and the purpose, I have no idea. I believe this is all a government experiment happening in no where. The symbolism, neutron bomb explosion in 1940 The crow & the reference to some monster / spirit really leaves us wondering all over the place. & I think what's in the tunnels and in weaver are just the people behind all of this. I suspect the sheriff also is in on this. the reason why I come to this conclusion is *Somebody sabotaged the vehicle while the family was exploring *can clearly hear a the mystery person breathing *the mystery person used a torch to explore while the family was sleeping *somebody was spying on the family while they were in the motel. *when the family was trying to escape from weaver somebody tried to trap them. *The pit where all the cars were dumped. The government is hiding something or doing something to the people & it's quite logical to think that cos the family knows too much info it has to be dealt with. Just think about it, the purpose of a good mystery story is always leave the audience seeking wild explanations. But sometimes the most obvious factors are always missed. O I don't think this story dealt with any monsters/ aliens or evil spirits.

Catharina_Sweden This movie was suspenseful and intriguing with some good scares! It kept up my attention at all times - until the last five minutes. The ending was a disappointment. It was only strange - or rather: it would not necessarily have been a bad ending, if all the questions had been answered. I think the movie-makers make it too easy for themselves, when they throw in a lot of interesting clues and suggestions... but in the end they do not have to explain anything, not make the story come together.I like it that the family was a step family with a "borrowed kid" (a friend of one of the kids in the family). Because most movies of this kind are about nuclear families. I think step families, which are so common nowadays after all, also need "movie families" to identify with. But it would have been even more efficient if the "borrowed kid" had been the stepmother's biological son instead of just a friend of the family. Because then the movie could have addressed such issues as loyalty, responsibility and sacrifice in a step family in extreme situations. I mean this scenario for instance: the stepmother's only biological child is lost in the desert. She naturally wants to go and look for him, but her husband and his kids want to flee while there is still time. What happens then..?

sol **SPOILERS** "Disappearance" is a movie with a beginning middle and absolutely no ending. Were, the audience and cast, are jerked around for almost the entire film and when it comes for what were expecting in a surprise ending or big payoff that would ties all the loose ends in the movie together we get a town full of Zombies instead. Theses Zombies act and seem as if they were lobotomized by either aliens from outer space or a super secret agency of the US Government. The persons in the town, as well as those who visited it, of Two Wells were made to forget everything what they saw and knew about this rinky dink of a desert ghost town called Weaver Nevada.Driving through the desert with his wife family and friend Jim Henely, Harry Hamlin, ends up taking a short cut that lands him & Co. in this out of the way ghost town called Weaver. It's not long that Jim realizes that he took a wrong turn with the town being deserted since 1948. It turned out that a neutron bomb was detonated outside of Weaver in September 1948 that wiped out the towns, or those who refused to leave, entire population. If a neutron bomb wasn't enough for the audience, as well as Jim Henley and family & friend, to ponder were also given clues by a local jailed alcoholic Lester, Roger Newcombe, that the legendary Area 51 as well as American Indian ghosts from the past have a hand in the crazy goings on in and around Weaver. During the Henley's stay at Weaver Jim's wife Patty, Susan Dey, ends up falling down a mine shaft and Matt's Henley's, Jeremy Lelliott, friend Eathen,Jamie Croft, ends up getting lost in the desert right under the nose of Jim Henley.These events, Patty's accident and Ethen's disappearance, in the end have nothing really to do with what's going on in the movie. They seem to have been put in to either confused the audience or pad the film to achieve for t an over 90 minutes running time. The movie's plot seems to be a cross between "The Hills have Eyes" and "Village of the Damned" with a lot of "Conspericey Theory" thrown in for good measure minus any kind of real or satisfying ending at all. We almost get a hint of what's really going on in both Weaver and it's neighboring town Two Wells when little Kate Henely, Basia A'Hern, spots at a local Two Well's hamburger stand this waitress that she recognized to have been killed, in a video tape that was found in Weaver, some time ago. It's only later that it's revealed that whoever that waitress was she as well as the entire town of Two Wells ended up there against their will but why they did it's never explained!The ending of the movie is a real mind-blower in that it purposely leaves it's audience up in the air to what was really going on. It gives you the impression that whatever was going on in the movie will keep happening as long a there's people traveling, like the bikers at the end of the film, through that God-forsaken town who will end up, unwillingly, becoming residents of Two Wells Nevada.

ops_kt Normally, I have no problem with a movie or story with an ending that leaves you wondering to puzzle out what really happened, when it's done on purpose...But this movie really feels like they got all but the last 15 minutes done, then realized they had $5 left to finish on...I saw it on TBS... I recommend you not spend money on it either. If you catch it on TV, watch all but the last 15 minutes, then walk away and make your own ending in your mind.Really, the movie would have been better if they had simply got away, and come back with the State Poice of Feds only to find that the town and the car graveyard was gone, and by all appearances had never been there..."Wish I had more thumbs, so I could give that movie 4 thumbs down!"
