Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great suspense!
I had never seen this movie all the way through. I would catch snippets here and there on TV, but always the in the middle. I finally bought it on Amazon and watched it. I loved it! The script didn't waste a lot of time with background info on the characters. With a short intro, it went right into the scary stuff. It's implied that something evil is in the abandoned town. And it can be whatever you want it to be. Nothing is the way it should be in this place. But that's what makes this movie ... Read More
Rating:  - Creepy and suspenseful
Good production values on this suspenseful telefilm done for the TBS network. Writer/director Walter Klenhard is also responsible for the 1994 telefilm "The Haunting of Seacliff Inn". In "Disappearance" a family driving west in their SUV make a fateful decision to visit the "ghost town" of Weaver -- a town 23 miles off the main highway that is shown on maps from 40 years ago but not on current ones.
What goes on in that town is never fully explained. A number of possibilities are suggested ... Read More
Rating:  - Did I fall asleep and miss something here?
The acting was good. The writing started out being good, but then... Hu?
I don't seem to recall going out for a beer during the last ten minutes or so. Disappearance has a wonderful build-up, but ultimately went nowhere.
What a shame, I really wanted to like it, but it all fell flat.
Rating: - Disappearance is annoying
Although there were some incongruities in the movie, it could have been a good one - the suspense was there and I watched it with interest but you kind of want to know the explanation at the end of the movie and it wasn't even something one could figure out. Two possible explanations were given:
1. the ghost town was built on Indian burial grounds and those responsible for the problems encountered there were spirits
2. they detonated a neutron bomb there in 1948 - the people got away and hid ... Read More
Rating: - If you don't "get" the ending, try watching a horror flick from before 2000.
Nearly every bad review I've ever seen of this movie has one thing in common: a bunch of people who apparently have never seen a horror movie prior to the turn of the century start whining about the "bad" ending and how you "never see the monsters." Let me put it simply: ever heard the phrase "the thing we fear the most is the unknown"? It isn't a flaw in the movie that you never see the monster. It is a psychological aspect designed to make you think. Classic horror movies used to have actual suspense in ... Read More
