compare it for us.
Unlike the Dutch director that remade--- horrendously so--- his classic, "The Vanishing," this director is supposed closely to have adhered to the original.
Myself, it's such a bleak, terrifying film I think once was enough.

I just watched this two weeks ago and saw the trailer for the German version.... - mr grits 19:55:10 08/17/08 (0)
made ten years earlier. They looked to have the same scenes blocked very closely. Kind of cheating much like the Japanese horror remakes. To me, the American actors looked more German than the German ones--notice how un-American they looked? (It was filmed in the USA and the villians were American actors.

I found this movie painful to watch and was wondering what kind of 'lucky shot' broke Roth's leg with a single swipe of a driver.
The original Vanishing was one of the bet movies ever. - Duilawyer 09:19:20 08/17/08 (4)
And as you say, I did not bother with the American version.
