Review of The Vanishing (1993) by Dave L — 27 May 2013
A solid remake of George Sluizer's original Dutch film. The thriller spends a great deal of time focusing on the villain in this case and meditating on what it means to be a good person and what it means to do an act of horrific evil.
The film is not perfect: I thought Rita and Jeff's relationship could have been developed a little bit more. The very last scene also contains a horrific joke. But those points aside, "The Vanishing" is a creepy and effective thriller.
Great performance by Jeff Bridges as well.
