Mini-review: The Vanishing (1988)

The Vanishing
Directed by George Sluizer



Perhaps a little too dry for its own good, but just tense enough to keep things interesting. Often hailed as a masterpiece, and though I personally don't feel that way about it, I can understand the appeal. This is not a typical horror movie -- in fact, one could argue it's not even a horror movie at all. Slow, tense, gritty, and disturbingly cold, this is the kind of movie that won't scare you, but what it does do is get under your skin and stay there long after the ending credits roll.

★★★★★★★☆☆☆
