Critics' reviews

"Psychological thrillers are only as effective as their villains, and The Vanishing serves up one hell of a specimen2

Kenneth Turan: Los Angeles Times
"This is one remake that sacrifices much of what made the original work so well. Read full review

Lawrence Cohn: Variety
"A good, psychological thriller that, I suspect, packs more of a wallop if you have not seen the original."

Marjorie Baumgarten: Austin Chronicle
"A pretty banal proposition"

Jay Carr: Boston Globe
"A case study in how Hollywood can make a complete mess out of what was previously a marvelous film."

Hal Hinson: The Washington Post
"The new Vanishing fails on its own terms -- it gradually adopts the conventions of a silly monster movie and loses the emotional impact of a psychological thriller in the process"

Mick LaSalle: San Francisco Chronicle
