The Vanishing

Chilling, eerie and atmospheric, this film genuinely scares as opposed to merely wasting two hours of your time, like the 1993 version.

The Vanishing is a thriller, but in a different way than most thrillers. It is a thriller about knowledge - about what the characters know about the disappearance, and what they know about themselves.

Part of what makes the first film so creepy is that, for a while, even the audience has no idea what's happened to the missing woman...

For a visceral sense of how masterfully unorthodox The Vanishing is, one need only look at the dismal 1993 American remake, which stars Sandra Bullock as the missing woman, Kiefer Sutherland as her boyfriend...

...The Vanishing is a knockout.
