Vanished in Yosemite

When I sat down to watch the 2023 TV thriller "Vanished in Yosemite" here in 2024, I must admit that I wasn't really harboring much of any grand expectations to the movie. I had never actually heard about it, so I didn't know what I was in for here.

And now that the movie has ended, I will say that writers Doug Campbell and Andrea Shawcross actually put together an enjoyable script and narrative for the movie. Sure, it was a TV thriller in every sense of that meaning, but I will admit that I was genuinely entertained.

There was something rather entertaining about the narrative. Perhaps it was the way that the narrative was constructed and presented, but it definitely worked for me. So thumbs up to the writers for that accomplishment. Sure, it could be said that it was a generic script not unlike many other movies similar to it. But it was entertaining nonetheless, and that is what mattered.

I wasn't familiar with a single actress or actor on the cast list. But they had a good ensemble of talents to portray the various characters and roles.

If you enjoy kidnapping thrillers, then "Vanished In Yosemite" is actually worth taking 85 minutes to sit down and watch.

My rating of director Doug Campbell's 2023 movie "Vanished In Yosemite" lands on a six out of ten stars.
