The Lost Challenges discussion

Last night, this movie came on TV as I was going to bed. I can remember watching this movie as a teen and being scared. I loved Cristina Raines from the movie Sunshine. Raines formally retired from acting in 1991, and became a registered nurse, specializing in patients undergoing kidney dialysis.
