Gone [Edizione: Regno Unito]

While on his way to meet his girlfriend Sophie (Amelia Warner, AEON FLUX), English backpacker Alex (Shaun Evans, THE BOYS FROM COUNTY CLARE) meets a friendly and enigmatic American drifter called Taylor (Scott Mechlowicz, EUROTRIP) in Sydney. After a night of heavy drinking, Taylor offers Alex a ride to Byron, where he meets up with Sophie. The couple decide to take Taylor up on his offer of a drive through the Outback. As the journey goes on, Alex becomes more and more suspicious of Taylor and his interest in Sophie. However, Taylor has something in his possession that could threaten Alex and Sophie’s relationship. Former commercials director Ringan Ledwidge makes an impressive and gorgeous looking debut feature film with GONE. The film’s plot combines elements of WOLF CREEK, DEAD CALM, and Roman Polanski’s KNIFE IN THE WATER and Ledwidge expertly controls the tension levels by providing a long and edgy build up to the terror that eventually occurs in this psychological thriller.
