Top Critics Reviews

Schematic and unconvincing.

rotten:
Misjudged, compromised Hollywood remake.

rotten:
The first movie was existential in its merciless unfolding. This one turns into a slasher movie with a cheap joke at the end.

rotten:
Too much of what is good about the original The Vanishing has been eviscerated. If you want quality, see the Dutch version; this one is a pale imitation.

rotten:
[Screenwriter Todd Graff] duplicates many of the original scenes (particularly the significant gas station ones), but does so mechanically. He jettisons most of the subtleties that made the first film so memorable.
