Movie: Elsewhere (2009)

“Sarah and Jillian have been best friends for so long they can’t remember when their friendship started. Growing up in the small town of Goshen, Indiana the two girls couldn’t be more different. Sarah is a star pupil and athlete, a 100-watt-bulb in a five-watt-town, while Jillian is star mischief-maker, a 100lbs-of-trouble in a five-pound-bag. Although both girls long to be break free of the small-town life, Jillian is the first to act, revealing to Sarah that she has been meeting men on-line with the sole purpose of finding someone who will “take her away from this place”. Soon thereafter, she disappears leaving Sarah with only a journal and a cryptic video message sent from her cell-phone. Sarah soon discovers that the town would rather forget that Jillian had ever existed. Distraught, she delves into the secrets surrounding her disappearance. Aided by, Jasper, the resident computer geek who secretly adores her, the two plunge head-long into Goshen’s dark secrets — uncovering corrupt police, jilted boyfriends, a mother driven mad by loss, and an unsolved string of child abductions. The final truth they unearth will rock the town to its foundations. Written by Nathan Hope”

Goofs: Plot holes: When Sarah (Anna Kendrick) is in the bus, she finds Jillian’s phone, and it is on. Jillian had been gone for a couple of weeks at that point, and her phone shouldn’t have needed to be recharged. A minute later she finds the phone of Janet, who had been missing for years. And still, her phone works perfectly fine, and it even has enough power to make a call.
