Ray Pye is a young man who attracts some weak friends who also fear him, after he murders two random women and continues his life of being a psychopath in the following years.
The Lost is written and directed by feature-debuting Chris Sivertson (Brawler (2011)), adapting the same-titled 2001 novel by Jack Ketchum (Right to Life (1998), novella). It is a small indie serial killer thriller loosely based on real-life serial killer Charles Schmid, 'the Pied Piper of Tucson', who killed several women in 1964 and was killed by fellow prisoners in 1975. Unfortunately the story is fairly uninteresting, since there is no one to attach any sympathy on. - What makes the youngsters follow - and refrain from report - Ray Pye is unfathomable, and the man himself; he is like a lit stick of dynamite, a cannon of unchecked masculine rage and psychopathy.
Ray is portrayed with impressive energy and credibility by Marc Senter (Dementia (2015)), who may have accidentally scared himself away from gaining future parts in this constantly unpleasant drama-thriller.
Sivertson shows obvious affection for the films of David Lynch with The Lost, but what the impetus behind the picture is feels unclear.
