comment
Gone is a 2012 Psychological Thriller starring Amanda Seyfried.Jill Conway (Seyfried) is a young woman living in Portland with her sister Molly. A year ago, Jill was apparently abducted by an unidentified man who kept her in a hole in the woods. Due to her history of mental problems and total absence of evidence for her abductor, the police suspect she may have fantasized the whole thing. When Jill comes home one morning to find her sister unaccountably missing, she immediately assumes her abductor has struck again and kidnapped her sister... but the police and her friends question her judgement.No relation to the book series of the same name.

comment
Unreliable Narrator: From the audience perspective, Jill undoubtedly believes that her sister has been abducted but it quickly emerges that she is withholding information from the police that might cause them to doubt her concerns (she conceals her sister's drinking problem), is an extremely talented liar and has been committed to an institution before for her mental issues. She turns out to be right about the abduction.

Pay Evil unto Evil: Jill's treatment of her abductor is brutal. Jill ultimately kills her former abductor by wounding him first, and then burning him alive.

comment
Parental Abandonment: Jill and Molly's parents are both dead. The trauma of their loss resulted in Jill having attempted or at least being viewed as a risk for suicide, which meant she spent a bit of time in a mental institution.

Police Are Useless
 Gone (2012) / int_59907e4f
comment
Police Are Useless: Zigzagged. The police mostly believe Jill is delusional due to her past mental issues and not finding any evidence for her claims of being abducted. However, Detective Hood believes her and does try to help. Jill doesn't trust him though due to her negative experiences with the police, and goes off on her own.

Driven to Suicide: Jill attempted suicide or at least was viewed as a risk for it in the past due to depression after both her parents died, causing her temporary committal to a mental institution.

You Have to Believe Me!
 Gone (2012) / int_77315f4f
comment
You Have to Believe Me!: Downplayed: Jill acts more reasonably than most characters in this situation, trying to get the police involved in the beginning when her sister disappears. As she's got no proof of a crime, plus she had already destroyed her credibility with them, they don't believe her. Then her (understandably) desperate, extreme means for searching herself mean they're soon on her tail (for making a witness tell her what he knows by threatening him with a gun, which she isn't allowed to have anyway).

Plucky Girl: Jill might be short but she's not a girl to mess with. She gets a little carried away in her self-defense class and has to be pulled off her opponent after said opponent gave her a sly comment and moved a piece of her hair away from her face.

comment
Hero Insurance: Jill isn't arrested for illegal possession of a gun or menacing on coming back, even though the police had been looking for her because she'd done these over the entire day. Possibly justified as she'd shown they were wrong to disbelieve her, and charging her would make them look bad when this came out.

Broken Bird: Jill is quite damaged as a result of first losing her parents, then being abducted, held captive, escaping and getting disbelieved due to her mental issues plus a lack of evidence to support her claims. She copes by learning fighting skills and keeping a stoic facade much of the time.
