Missing 411: The Hunted

I've noticed that people who come into just one of his documentaries or talks tend to hold a skeptical point of view, which is respectable as long as you keep an open mind. Once you realize that he has done extensive research on hundreds, if not thousands of these cases, you'll begin to realize that a pattern emerges and something strange is going on. If there were only these 4-5 cases, then yes, they can be easily explainable. It's easy to say this person fell, this one drowned, this one was abducted by a human, this one ran away from their family, this one committed suicide, etc ... But what do you say to thousands of similar cases that have not and cannot be explained by the forestry, the police, the FBI, the green berets? It's just weird. I love that there's mystery still in this world.

Paulides frequently discusses the fact that it's the cumulation of these bizarre disappearance which paints the full picture on coast to coast. This documentary is more for people who understand this, or for those whose curiosity will be piqued. A documentary allows him to give a more detailed and comprehension view of some individual cases, otherwise this documentary would be hours long.

A "documentary" for the gullible, ignorant, pliable, lackwits, superstitious, uneducated, religious. And having said that: the desperate. Something the makers of this kind of wannabe-conversant-beyond-actual-factbased-knowledge (read: gobbledygook) always rely on is the malleable mindset of a mourning person that is rather content with any answer than is left without one.

The only thing these claimed cases have in common is that in none of them the most rational explanation is even considered, spite being the most honest: we don't know what happened. Instead there's a contrived need to claim there's got to be more to it than meets the eye. And that's where the parasites jump on the disconsolate, pushing their own agenda as some twisted alternative truth, intended only to benefit the makers of this garbage - never the relatives reaching for anything that could externalize the reason to why their friend, sibling, spouse or parent never was found, instead of facing the harsh reality that sometimes it's but a sum of bad coincidences and unfortunate individuals are exposed to these conditions.

Shame on the team producing such false hope giving trite. And shame on the ones commenting somebody not convinced by the worse than poor, obviously fabricated or even non-existent "proof" presented within is somehow too skeptical a person. An open mind doesn't require your brain drops out, which here is the case.

I've been enjoying Missing 411 on Youtube for quite some time. This movie with its beautiful shots of the American wilderness made the experience of hearing those mysterious and puzzling accounts even better. Some people are criticizing the scientific validity of the stories and perhaps they have a point, I don't know. From a strictly entertainment perspective, it's a great watch, that's for sure. I wish it was an hour longer!

A great documentary! It analytically explains the attributes behind the disappearances and investigates a select few missing cases in the documentary. And this is an unbiased documentary, with the main person keeping an open-eye on what could possibly be behind the disappearances. The documentary is mainly scientific-focused with a few paranormal references. Highly recommend to those wanting an insight onto the bizarre disappearances occurring at the National Parks!

I did enjoy this documentary but having watched a fair bit of background viewing on YouTube I anticipated that this documentary would expand further on the mysterious nature of the disappearances. That might be a little harsh yet 7/10 is still quite high. Missing 411 is certainly highly watchable even if you are unfamiliar with the phenomenon.
