Absentia Ratings & Reviews
- Nicholas FlorioJanuary 3, 2026Good movie, really creepy. I'm stunned at the ending they gave us. I don't know if I will ever sleep again. LoL
- papanana58March 17, 2025Loved it
- Daniel GustavssonOctober 12, 2024Not as good as occulus, but really close. The movie is very slow, but it is so well made that the intensity never really lets go. You always keep wondering what is going to happen next. The story does have some logic flaws, but because of how interesting everything is, it doesn't really get distracting.
- DigitalDisappointmentAugust 11, 2025Very strange, very unique movie. Interesting ideas that they never fully flesh out so they leave you to fill things in with your imagination (which some people hate, others will love). Definitely worth a watch.
- kendallriddellJuly 12, 2025Loved the concept and thought it was well done for an early work of Mike Flanigan
- Nyxus_March 18, 2025A lot of potential and a lot of build-up for... so much nothing. The pacing was all over the place (don't get me started on the classic internet-research exposition scene), and, while these kinds of movies are supposed to thrive on keeping as much unknown as possible, this left out too many details. I feel like 15-30 more minutes of movie could've filled in the gaps a little more; as it is, it feels rushed and empty.
