The Vanishing (1988)
9/10
Great movie with memorable ending
9 June 2008
Are you scared by mighty soundtracks, the 666 beast, haunting ghosts, videotapes that will kill you after 14 days and screaming girls? Then this movie is not for you.

Spoorloos has no eerie soundtracks, blood, scream or gore. It is not a horror movie in the traditional sense. Having a first look, this is an ordinary thriller with a memorable ending. But there is more to this film. In some ways, Spoorloos resembles a modern version of any story by Edgar Allan Poe. The creepy thing about Spoorloos is not violence, screaming and blood, but the sensation that it might be based on reality rather than fiction. This film shows that sudden disappearance and "not knowing" is far more scary than all devils and ghosts in Hollywood.

I get the feeling that this film is of the rare kind that grows with the years 9/10
