SYNOPSIS

Shot from the point-of-view of smartphones and computer screen.

After David Kim's 16-year-old daughter goes missing, a local investigation is opened and a detective is assigned to the case. But 37 hours later and without a single lead, David decides to search the one place no one has looked yet: his daughter's laptop.

REVIEW SUMMARY

"Alright everyone, you can stop searching - this is the incredibly well crafted  mystery thriller you've been looking for! Searching is by all accounts a movie that shouldn’t have worked as well as it does given the “gimmick” at hand. In reality though, it OVER-succeeds in great part due to the excellent performance of its lead actor and the incredibly engaging script. Plus, it boasts genuine twists and surprises (although some might find them a little toooo outlandish at times). Throw in the timeliness of it all and you've got yourself a late Summertime gem at the cinemas!"
