Searching (August 3, 2018) - starring John Cho, Debra Messing - Blu-ray Forum

MazeRunner · 05-11-2018, 04:00 AM

After his 16-year-old daughter goes missing, a desperate father breaks into her laptop to look for clues to find her.

Looks like it will take place on an entire laptop screen like Unfriended.

Looks interesting.

John Cho doesn't age. So it was kinda weird to me at first seeing him the father of a high school girl.

I'm really enjoying John Cho's post-Harold career.

This is basically Unfriended's spiritual successor?

Chaotic · 06-02-2018, 04:05 PM

Saw the trailer before Adrift yesterday. Looks interesting. Comes out on my b-day.

Coming out so soon after Unfriended 2 probably won't do it any favors.

New Trailer

I love that they're not giving it all away.

HorrorBlu · 06-18-2018, 10:51 PM

I'm mildly curious, but these laptop movies play way better on Netflix than on the big screen.

Saw this trailer before Upgrade Saturday... guessing

I saw this trailer in the theaters on Sunday.
This is no more than a redbox rental for me.

This looks awful awful awful, but I love John Cho so I’ll give it a shot

MikeScott · 08-17-2018, 08:41 PM

Guess it's no longer opening wide next weekend. BOM has an estimated 9 theaters.

This was known back in July, just never got posted here.

Quote:

Director Sylvain White’s creepshow Slender Man moves up by two weeks to August 10 and gave up its former August 24 slot to the Jon Cho-starring web thriller Searching, which moves back three weeks. The studio added Searching will expand the following Friday.

Searching: August 24, 2018 (limited, from 8/3; expands 8/31)

Oh, so I am getting it the same week as you guys from the US (just two days before the 31st, like MI: Fallout and Alpha)

MikeScott · 08-18-2018, 07:52 AM

Oh ok. I knew it changed dates but didn't know it was announced as limited. BOM had it as wide until late this week.

Sounds like its actually good?

BKavett · 08-25-2018, 03:14 AM

Saw this tonight. I thought it was excellent! Very clever and well done.

dommie · 08-26-2018, 02:04 AM

Just saw Searching today. This film was a very nice surprise. Clever is a real good way to describe the concept of this film and it is executed very well. The script is tight and the film develops into a very interesting mystery that never stalls; and they keep throwing surprising twists at you that keep you engaged throughout the entire narrative. John Cho and Debra Messing are excellent in roles that allow them to step out of their known comfort zones. The current 92% RT score is well deserved. This film presents an excellent freshman effort from first time director/writer, Aneesh Chaganty and signals some real talent that hopefully will be on display again in the near future.

Well, I just saw Searching -- and I have to agree with my colleagues above. One of the biggest surprises of the year. It was clever, suspenseful, and surprisingly emotional. The mystery was genuine, and there were a lot of unexpected twists and turns. Terrific work by John Cho and Debra Messing.

See it before it gets spoiled!
