    the movie

    A sensational plot the entire movie keeps you on a thread being able to connect perfectly with the victim and the 911 operator plays a crucial role I loved it I love the suspense.

    Very good and above all highly recommended for fans of suspense the movie has an spectacular setting and photography I loved every scene it was the best movie.

    The scenery and effects were one of the best I've seen. I'll definitely see it again because it's a good suspense, highly recommended for the public who loves suspense.

    The script and the direction are excellent and all the work that this entails is very good, everything was an event to be able to see it, I loved everything.

    Interesting.

    I like such stories, a great story and even though only the voice is heard, it is very interesting. Especially since it is based on a true story. The story cannot be boring, if it is based on a true event. Somehow you sympathize with those victims and immerse yourself more in the film . I don't like short films too much and I haven't seen them yet, but I stumbled upon this one by chance and it's great.

    Excellent acting, excellent scene and music. I wouldn't add anything. Anyone who wants to take a look will not be disappointed. If someone knows a suggestion, something similar to this, write it in the comments.

    Such a touching story!

    I'm so glad I came across this short story on Youtube. The Vanishing of Sidney Gomez is such a heart-breaking, emotionally enthrawling, peculiar, and stunning story. The story's got it all: suspense, great visuals, great voice acting, and it's such a touching story that I almost cried near the end. The story is told beautiful, much kudos to the voice over actor. The visuals really corroborate the horror and the madness in our society with the kidnapping of minors and the destruction of families devestated by the crime. The Vanishing of Sidney Gomez is an all-around amazing film, the film as a whole has affected me mentally, I'm more aware of the seriousness and evil of kidnapping. 10/10.

    Impressive film with a great message

    It was a quite interesting short film. I liked how the story developed because it kept me on the edge of my sit all the time. Also the production quality values were quite impressive and even kept me more glued to the screen. Very eerie intro with the initial setting and music choice; narrator's tone of voice causes so much suspense. The victim and dispatcher's dialogue feels so real, because scenarios like this you don't know what's going to happen next. You don't know if you're going to make it out which causes so much anxiety for all parties involved. There was so much intensity and realness in this film, also love the awareness you're trying to bring about kidnapping.

    honestly

    I can honestly say that this movie is full of suspense and very entertaining, it's incredible to see everything that happens until you find Sidney Gomez, there should be more movies like this in the cinema, without a doubt they don't make them that way anymore.

    I can honestly say that this movie is full of suspense and very entertaining, it's incredible to see everything that happens until you find Sidney Gomez, there should be more movies like this in the cinema, without a doubt they don't make them that way anymore. And well I can only continue saying that during the plot I felt many emotions, mixed emotions for everything that happened, what I saw was really incredible, I think I was left wanting a second part, let's wait and see what happens over time.
