those golden rules you learned as a kid "don't talk to strangers"
Rex and Saskia, a young couple in love, are on vacation. They stop at a busy service station and Saskia is abducted. After three years and no sign of Saskia, Rex begins receiving letters from the abductor.
The Vanishing is very slow paced film that alternates between flashback and present day. It sets up a very mundane event of a couple going on vacation, and turning it into a sinister plot.
The ending of this original The Vanishing is fairly different from the hollywood remake with same title (1993). I found the ending in the original to be far more fearful and sad than the remake.
spolier: --------------
This film does not need any special effects, gory or frightening images to create fear; rather the fear/horror of this film is the randomness of the act.
