The Vanishing Bluray Kiefer Sutherland

This makes it extremely perplexing that Sluizer himself helmed a 1993 Hollywood remake that a furious Roger Ebert called "a slasher movie with a cheap joke at the end." In The Vanishing, a tormented man is consumed by the need to know how his girlfriend vanished into thin air.. Director George Sluizer remakes his own Dutch thriller The Vanishing for American audiences, but instead of something on par with the chilling and uncompromising original, we're treated to a subpar Hollywood imitation complete with an ending that's changed from the original but for the absolute worst.

The Vanishing: Directed by George Sluizer. With Jeff Bridges, Kiefer Sutherland, Nancy Travis, Sandra Bullock. The boyfriend of an abducted woman never gives up the search as the abductor looks on.. "The Vanishing" is a textbook exercise in the trashing of a nearly perfect film, conducted oddly enough under the auspices of the man who directed it. In 1988, George Sluizer made a French-Belgian production, also called "The Vanishing," that was one of the most intelligent thrillers I've seen. The film was not released commercially until 1991, perhaps because distributors feared.
