Year 2, Day #174 "The Vanishing" (George Sluizer/1988) I'm told this film is absolutely chilling with an ending that will stick with you. I wouldn't know though, as I have not watched it yet. I've got to watch this one soon!

positive · AI labelView post →The 1973 film with Christopher Lee is a British folk horror masterpiece and my personal favorite horror film (tied with the original 1988 Dutch version of The Vanishing); the 2006 film with Nic Cage is a hilarious slapstick comedy and trash classic
positive · AI labelView post →Just watched «Spoorloos» (The Vanishing) from 1988 and MAN what a movie. Loved it <3
positive · AI labelView post →#letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched The Vanishing (Spoorloos) (1988), The Snails (1966), MIB (1997), and Predator: Badlands (the third best Weyland-Yutani film after Alien and Aliens and with Prey demonstrates that there can be creativity in the old franchises).
neutral · AI labelView post →I always get 'The Vanishing Point' confused with 'The Turning Point' and kinda think a a ballet film high speed car chase would make a pretty good movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Vanishing 1993 remake of the Dutch 1988 film.
neutral · AI labelView post →Name the worst ever film remake. 🎖️ Original: Spoorloos (aka The Vanishing, Netherlands, 1988) 💩 Remake: The Vanishing (Hollywood, 1993) If not the worst ever remake, still the one that bothers me the most. The remake leaves out all the parts of the plot that make the original great.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Vanishing 1988 Really liked this movie and was planning to watch the remake until I found out the ending. I won’t spoil it but I think I’m going to give it a miss.

One had a movie theater, which was the only place i was allowed besides our room. I prolly saw this 20 times. Wrong. Movie. 😵 [quote below shows a scene from The Vanishing]
negative · AI labelView post →38) The Vanishing (1988) — the most terrifying movie where all the terrifying things happen off-screen and in in-between time. I think about it at least once a week.
positive · AI labelView post →Countdown To Halloween A spooky film a day Day 20 : The Vanishing 1988 Although the remake with Jeff Bridges is good, it doesn't come close to the creepiness of the original Dutch film. #Horror #31daysofHorror #Halloween #FoundFootage
positive · AI labelView post →I watched The Vanishing (1988, dir. George Sluizer) for the first time in April of last year and it’s not an exaggeration to say I think about it at LEAST a few times every week. I don’t know that a film has ever burrowed inside my brain to such a degree

positive · AI labelView post →A while back I was watching THE VANISHING with my movie club, and the climax triggered one of my biggest but most pointless fears (being buried alive); I had to go in the other room and pace till everyone told me it was okay to come back! Good horror fans support each other when we get too scared
positive · AI labelView post →#133 in the Criterion Collection is The Vanishing a French/Dutch film about how far you'd go to find out what happened to a missing loved one. This one gets pretty messed up, but it's a great experience. youtu.be/fv2tHiziYf8
neutral · AI labelView post →it’s not exactly a horror film, but The Vanishing (the 1988 original, not the american remake. bleghhh) was one of the most viscerally upsetting viewing experiences i’ve ever had the (dis?)pleasure of watching. a *deeply* uncomfortable exploration of what may drive a man to do something truly evil.
positive · AI labelView post →Did you find the non-american version of The Vanishing a dark comedy? I loved it, hated the theme of the film and found the movie darkly humourous at times 😂
positive · AI labelView post →I know a lot of people are terrified by The Vanishing, but that’s more of a crime thriller than a horror movie. #TCMParty

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched “The Vanishing” (the original one) directed by George Sluizer and god damn. What a fascinating film Incredibly dark, but presented in a manner that doesn’t feel dark, it even comes off as a bit silly at times. But it never feels like a comedy either - just a masterful psychological thriller
positive · AI labelView post →The Vanishing is brutal but amazing film. That ending is earth-shattering.
positive · AI labelView post →Watching George Sluizer's THE VANISHING in shingrix soreness. I suspect this movie might fuck me up. Let's go!
neutral · AI labelView post →Excellent movie that gave me physical revulsion from perfectly minimal social horrors rather than any implied violence or gore. Just watched The Vanishing (1988) this morning and it gave me the same sort of vibes. Still very effective.
positive · AI labelView post →I’ve only seen two of the movies on this list (and now I really want to watch Fall) but I’m with Andrew Pulver - The Vanishing traumatised me for life.

neutral · AI labelView post →Only 2 people died in the 1988 Dutch film THE VANISHING, so I guess that may as well have been a romcom in comparison.

The French WILD GEESE / DOGS OF WAR: crack mercenary-team includes Bernard-Pierre (THE VANISHING) Donnadieu, Jean-Roger (GERMINAL) Milo, Niels (A PROPHET) Arestrup. Wild synth score! A fun and very strange film!

A tradition picked up in the Hitchcock Presents episode Into Thin Air (1955), Frantic (1988), Breakdown (1997), to an extent The Vanishing (1988) #filmsky
