Your loved one pops into the local gas station for some cold drinks. Time passes and they don't return. Panic falls upon you as you frantically search. Years pass and that search for answers has not ceased. The Vanishing is about loss, obsession, and the banality of evil. The original 1988 Dutch/French, suspense, thriller by director George Sluizer was remade in English for American audiences in 1993 by the very same director with very different results. The remake sports an all-star cast with Jeff Bridges, Kiefer Sutherland, Nancy Travis, and Sandra Bullock, but does it measure up to the original starring Bernard-Pierre Donnadieu, Gene Bervoets, Johanna ter Steege, and Gwen Eckhaus? Join Invasion of the Remake as we face our fears of taphophobia, autophobia, claustrophobia, arachnophobia, and thanatophobia with this all-new fear filled episode!
