A little more payoff wouldn’t have hurt, and a little less of Callie’s late yakkety monologue about global supernatural beliefs would have been a good idea.

( Log Out /  Jogging there one day, she finds a desperate, bloodied man who expresses surprise she can see him, deduces that must be because “It’s sleeping,” and begs her to contact his family. If you like dubious-motivation dramas, then Absentia is for you. As a series you'd want to invest in while drowning in countless great series around you? Let's see you do that.

Too short on graphic content for mainstream horror fans, Mike Flanagan’s feature could eke out a niche theatrical release a la “House of the Devil” by appealing to more discriminating genre tastes, though primary exposure will be in home formats. Among the latter is Tricia’s husband, Daniel (Morgan Peter Brown), who vanished without a trace seven years ago. Life in Bulgaria is good.

Doing stupid things is drama. Did Katic so desperately need to add some grit to her résumé after Castle that she chose this project, which can't seem to find a believable human emotion without it being incited by a bad decision from someone else that would, in no world, actually happen?

When she returns one morning she finds a frail injured man (Doug Jones) lying in the tunnel barely conscious and she assumes he is a homeless junkie. As a PSA for those issues, sure, go for it.

Maybe they just wanted to catch a Patriots game between shooting days, but all they could get was a friendly soccer match between CSKA Sofia and Levski Sofia, which really isn't the same thing (but probably light years more exciting than Absentia).

About Our Ads Callie goes jogging every morning and her route takes her through scary graffiti-covered tunnel very close to Tricia’s apartment. Absentia is a 2011 American independent supernatural horror film written, edited and directed by Mike Flanagan and produced by FallBack Plan Productions. Until she's ripped from that life and put into a box that keeps getting filled with water and drowning her, or nearly drowning her, over and over again, her only vision is a man in a mask creepily looking in on her. Absentia is just a messy TV series that at its best serves as a reminder that good writing is essential to the medium and that pouting and looking dour and confused is not really premium-cable-style acting. Indie horror-thriller offers an offbeat premise and above-average character writing in its tale of a Los Angeles neighborhood whose residents are prey to an invisible menace.

I really like finding a film that I have never heard of before that manages to creep me out, especially when it does it with such a small budget. Netflix reverses course and cancels "GLOW" during season 4 filming hiatus. Did Amazon need this Sony Pictures Television/Masha collaboration about, well, a woman who is kidnapped and tortured and presumed dead, only to materialize six years later as not only the prime suspect in a string of murders, but also someone who is annoyed that her ex married another woman in the interim?
Our Take: Absentia is a weird hybrid of a cable prestige drama and a standard-grade cop show. (There isn't one credible Boston accent that I heard, but then again I could only get through a couple of episodes.). Perfs are very strong, production package modest but utterly assured, with Ryan David Leack’s score particularly good. She has invited her younger sister Callie (Katie Parker) to stay with her, possibly because she needs some company at this time, but also because Callie is a recovering drug addict and she needs somewhere to stay.

Meanwhile, her younger sister Callie (Katie Parker), after several years in and out of rehab, has arrived to help out with the imminent baby.

Now she’s finally trying to put that behind her, not just by starting a new life — she’s heavily pregnant by the police detective (Dave Levine) still assigned to the missing spouse’s case — but by having Daniel legally declared dead by absentia.

Katic has a lot of loyal fans from her Castle days, so maybe they'll tune in to watch her do dumb things like visit her alleged abductor, the serial killer, in his apartment, without backup or, apparently, any kind of weapon.

Carrie assumes he just wants money and promises to bring him out some food.

I recommend giving this film a look. Negative: 1. I always love finding little gems like this and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. Effective indie horror-thriller “Absentia” offers an offbeat premise and above-average character writing in its tale of a Los Angeles neighborhood whose residents are prey to an invisible menace. Amazon has lots of other, more interesting titles, by the way. I will look out for it. But then Nick gets a call, ostensibly from serial killer Conrad Harlow (Richard Brake), who is in prison for Emily's murder. Yeah, Absentia is that kind of show.

'Absentia': TV Review. Ryan Mallory (Dave Levine) is the police detective assigned to Danny’s case and he is helping Tricia with filling out the final documentation to have Danny declared legally dead in absentia. You would think that he'd have the decency to say, "Stop nagging me! Still, “Absentia” is very creepy, non-formulaic and more grounded in relatable personalities than the usual horror film filled with hottie victims and other stereotypes. Try passing off Bulgaria as Boston. The film's principal photography phase was funded by way of the film's project page on crowdfunding website Kickstarter.

Write a Review. A series of international actors seem partially committed to their roles — and maybe that's because of the dumb dialogue or motivation they've been given. That said, if you've ever wanted to see a series try to make Bulgaria look like Boston and pull several muscles in the process, Absentia is your show.
