The Wakhan Front

This film was so engaging it is such a pity it ended they way it did. As the logline says: vanishing one by one without explanation. Well, that's just it; the disappearances are never explained. I expected some sort of lead to the disappeared or to the phenomena at least, but nothing. The film just leaves you hanging to make up your own mind as to what (possibly) happened to the men.

There are no jump scares here, but it is creepy and effective, mysterious and intriguing. The acting was also very natural, adding to the credibility. Jeremie Renier in particular was very good as the somewhat subdued Captain. It was also interesting to see how the Unknown affects the various characters. Despite the dissatisfying ending (for me, at least) it was still well worth the watch and I would probably watch it again.
