Review of Vanishing on 7th Street (2010) by Lewis C — 24 May 2011
No doubt about it, this is a pretty terrible flick.
Don't let the semi-interesting trailer fool you into watching Vanishing on 7th Street like it did me. The movie goes downhill from nearly the very beginning, with some of the most terrible acting that I've seen in quite a while. Hayden Christensen is the main culprit, but even generally good actors like Thandie Newton and John Leguizamo give poor performances thanks to the miserable script. Everyone consistently overacts so badly that it almost seems intentional. And the characters are poorly written, unlikable, annoying, and stupid beyond logical belief.
Let's not bother with the story. It tries to be mysterious, deep and frightening, and it fails. Hard. Imagine The Happening, but even more nonsensical.
Do yourself a favor and skip this.
