When her mother disappears while on vacation in Colombia with her new boyfriend, June’s search for answers is hindered by international red tape. Stuck thousands of miles away in Los Angeles, June creatively uses all the latest technology at her fingertips to try and find her before it’s too late. However, as she digs ever deeper, her digital sleuthing soon raises more questions than answers.

Of late, there’s been a trend where cameras are being replaced as mediums of video capture, and in their stead, we’re using the latest communication techniques to film an entire movie. Starting with the 2020 horror film Host, where a Zoom call among friends goes horribly wrong, the arrival of communication technology has opened doors to several movies where stories are told through webcams and similar recording devices. These movies are the next generation in the found footage genre, and if made properly, some of them can be very impressive. Nicholas D. Johnson’s mystery thriller Missing is told entirely through the webcam and similar devices of the protagonist, June Allen (Storm Reid), capturing all her emotions when her mother, Grace, goes missing. Let’s look at June’s character and analyze how she realizes how deep her mother’s love truly was for her, despite all their arguments and fights.

Missing is a thriller directed by Nicholas D. Johnson and Will Merrick staring Storm Reid.
Screenlife movies are those movies that tell stories through the computer screen, with hookups, video calls and so on. Not that it’s a new genre, nor is this one going to be the first blockbuster in the genre, but it has a good enough script to make an impact with its premise.
Movie Review
Fast-paced, lots of story and, above all, lots of editing. It is not the movie about “four friends” with no money who want to make a movie and, for budgetary reasons, choose this genre as a last resort: Missing is a movie with a dizzying pace, plot twists, surprises and a lot of sense of aesthetics (although these aesthetics may not please everyone).
It knows how to take advantage of everything at its disposal and teaches us that, with almost anything,...

Storm Reid and Megan Sure in Screen Gems Missing
So do you have lots of friends, or more likely older relatives, that are leery of the new online technology? Of course, you’re not otherwise you wouldn’t be here, but many folks are still skittish. Well here’s a new flick that shows how the worldwide web (and its hardware and software) can be useful, even life-saving. Hold on you Luddites, it’s not propaganda or an “infomercial” popping up on the TV in the “wee hours”. No this is an “in theatres” feature film, and a thriller/mystery to boot. Oh, and it’s all told on different “monitor screens”, with the “big projection screen” becoming your “portal’ into the ongoing events. It’s as though you’re sitting right next to the story’s heroine as she desperately scrolls and clicks in order to locate a parent who’s gone Missing.

‘Missing’ Review: Screenlife Sequel To The Thriller ‘Searching’ With Storm Reid Never Quite Connects
Like “Searching” back in 2018, the standalone sequel “Missing” has again embattled another only child with one dead parent. Only this time, it’s the alive parent who finds themselves at the center of a viral, true crime mystery. Killed by the same illness of lymphoma as Margot Kim’s mother Pam – whose story in director Aneesh Chaganty’s previous film is touched upon in a brief excerpt from a fictional true crime series: “Unfiction” – June Allen’s (Storm Reid), father left her and her mother’s lives at a young age.

‘Missing’ Review: Amateur Sleuth Storm Reid Does Her Detective Work by Screens in ‘Searching’ Sequel
It’s hard not to judge “Missing” according to one’s own aptitude — much less appetite — for watching the world via devices, but that would be unfair to the sleight of hand pulled off by directors Nick Johnson and Will Merrick. Making their directorial debuts, the pair chronicle the labyrinthine story of a teenager’s search for her missing mother from what’s probably the least visually interesting perspective possible, very nearly making it cinematic in the process. Still, an improbable escalation of events and more than a few niggling questions about who’s doing what and how renders this screenlife thriller in dimensions that unfortunately resonate better on an intimate, handheld scale than the big screen.
Storm Reid plays June Allen, a restless 18-year-old eager for her mother Grace (Nia Long) to leave on a romantic trip to Colombia with Kevin (Ken Leung), Grace’s new boyfriend. June and...
