In Lost Child an Army veteran suffering from Ptsd returns home to see her brother but before she does she discovers a young boy living in the woods. From this she discovers local town folklore about monsters and demons which make her question taking the child in.
The story sounds like a typical low budget horror but thankfully Lost Child never really heads down that route despite constantly teasing to. And I’m still not sure whether I would have preferred it to or not. Instead it takes a much more serious tone with hints of horror but a more real-life horror. The demons are both real and imaginary.
Lost Child does have a slow pace to it.

Leven Rambin has a career that any aspiring actor might envy, in that she has consistently worked for the past twelve years in film and television.
But nearly three years ago, at age 25, she stepped away from that security in franchises like “The Hunger Games” and “Percy Jackson” in pursuit of formal drama training.
“I think at a certain point in my career, I felt unfulfilled. I know my craving is for a different kind of art from here on out, and I grew past the point of being satisfied with booking everything that I could,” she told TheWrap during a recent phone chat.

In 2012, Ramaa Mosely made the movie The Brass Teapot, a fairy tale allegory about a magic teapot that gives a couple money whenever they hurt themselves. With Lost Child, Mosely has created another modern day myth, and it doesn’t hurt that she keeps casting my favorite actresses. Fern (Leven Rambin) comes home from the Army looking for her brother Billy (Taylor John Smith). Before she finds him, she discovers Cecil (Landon Edwards) in the woods and reluctantly agrees to take him in while they look for his family. As soon as she does, Fern begins getting sick and her […]

"How is it you came to live out here in these woods?" Breaking Glass Pictures has debuted an official trailer for a thriller titled Lost Child, formerly titled Tatterdemalion when it first premiered at a few small film festivals last year. Lost Child, a new film by filmmaker Ramaa Mosley (of The Brass Teapot), is about an army veteran who returns home and finds an abandoned young boy in the woods. As she searches for clues to the boy's identity, she discovers the local folklore about a spirit which comes in the form of a child. Oooh. Leven Rambin stars, with Taylor John Smith, Jim Parrack, Toni Chritton Johnson, and Landon Edwards. This looks like a slow burn horror film masquerading as a dramatic thriller, which is intriguing. Here's the official trailer (+ two posters) for Ramaa Mosley's Lost Child, from YouTube (via THR): Lost Child follows an army veteran,...
