Movie opens I think, with a mom and toddler at home. Mom in kitchen or perhaps attends to a phone. Toddler slowly steps out the house. There is a river or pond outside the house. A small gate that leads to it is unfortunately not properly latched. The kid gets out and near the water. He sees something shiny (a wrist watch ?) in the water. He falls over and drowns. He wears a red cap I think.

Mom looks for kid while later, but can't find him. A search begins for the lost child. Husband arrives later I think. Mom goes weak when she realizes the baby has probably drowned. I think the cops fish out the baby's toy from the water. Don't remember rest of movie. Movie is proly from the 2000s. I think I liked the movie. Any hints please?

maybe this one? → http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half_Light_%28film%29

quote:

Rachel Carlson (Moore) is a successful American murder mystery author living in London with her five-year-old son, Thomas (Balawi) and her second husband, Brian (Cusick), a successful book editor that has been unable to get any of his own works published. His mother being too busy working on her latest novel to play with him, Thomas goes outside to play outside their canalside home, only to accidentally drown, devastating Rachel and putting a tailspin on her marriage and her ability to finish her latest novel.

A group of college going kids get lost in the woods. They use their handy cam during the whole time to record themselves.
They are finally lost. The cam is spotted days later.

The movie is made told as though it is 'based on real life events'. 2000s movie I think. Was quite a popular movie.

lol, this could probably fit like 10 movies. was it a horror film? any more details about lost in the woods?

[SectorVector]

No. No horror if I remember right; just drama with thrills. One of them keeps filming, while the others just want to get out.
The opening of the movie and the closing credits make it seem as if it is 'based on a true story'.

[shirepirate]

so no antagonist of any kind? just a movie about some teens lost in the woods? well that narrows it down i guess. nothing rings a bell though.

[SectorVector]

Correct. No 'predator'-ish stuff or bad charms or anything like that. A simple 'lost' movie that is given a realistic feel. I believed it until I read the imdb comments (blush).
Wish I could remember atleast one more scene of the movie.

I have a feeling it might be 'June 9' (2008).

If I could get a torrent I'd know for sure. Looks like there was a 'horror' element to the story. I just can't remember that bit. Rest seems to tally and brings back vague memories.

Thank you shirepirate. I think that must be it. Will write again if I find anything more/else. :-)
