Though it feels longer than it actually is, Absentia is an engrossing mystery with a disturbingly realistic and dark dimension that is thoroughly laid bare by the screenwriting and direct. You get your money’s worth with this one.

If you like American, low budget, indie horror stuff, I can wholeheartedly recommend this. Absentia is a very good movie that relies on two likeable protagonists, has a very well developed plot and an atmosphere that is pretty thick at times. I was scared, I was afraid. Mike Flanagan delivers a very good directorial job (it’s not even by chance amateurishly made, as I had read) and I’m already looking forward to his next genre films.
