Disappearance at Clifton Hill

The atmosphere is great, the story captivating, with tension building up. Unfortunately, things get messed up with the main character's backstory. I still didn't get the ending of this movie. Anyone to help me understand who actually did what ? i cannot find any answer online as everyone else seems to be confused...

I started watching it but the screeching out of key music that kept playing was so bad I couldn't see it through which is a shame because I was enjoying the story itself. Clearly someone thought weird out of key music was creepy, which when it is done right, can be I guess but this was just constant annoying noise that gives you a headache and distracts you from the actual story unfortunately

Disappearance At Clifton Hill: Abby (Tuppence Middleton) returns to her home town on the death of her mother; against her sister's wishes she tries to keep the family motel running. Abby also has dark memories of the kidnapping of a boy she witnessed 25 years before. The problem is that Abby is a pathological liar so unsurprisingly the police and her sister are reluctant to believe this late report. Abby meets up with a local Conspiracy podcaster Walter (David Cronenberg) who believes that a local rich family were behind this and other disappearances. The supposed conspiracy also involves animal trainers. You will begin to question conflicting narratives as this tale unfolds. Some great scenes. we first encounter Cronenberg as he rises from a river pond beneath Niagara Falls, he's also a sort of mudlark diver. Directed/Co-Written by Albert Shin. On Netflix. 7/10.

This wasn't very good. The acting was fine. The beginning was good and had me expecting something great but it went downhill. It was a little confusing, very unbelievable, comical and I'm not sure if it was meant to be.

The twist made no sense either.

Don't get wrong... Not a bad stab at neo - noire. Its quite atmospheric, and captures the seedy and melancholic vibe you get from Niagara Falls after dark. There's certainly a transient and almost sinister undercurrent to Niagara Falls that's often sugar coated over... a primordial energy that this film does capture...

As a thriller/mystery it does fall short due to pacing and stilted dialogue though. It's final act falls sadly on the wrong side of predictably as well.
