A young man embarks on an obsessive search for the girlfriend who mysteriously disappeared while the couple were taking a sunny vacation trip, and his three-year investigation draws the attention of her abductor, a mild-mannered professor with a clinically diabolical mind. An unorthodox love story and a truly unsettling thriller, Dutch filmmaker George Sluizer’s The Vanishing unfolds with meticulous intensity, leading to an unforgettable finale that has unnerved audiences around the world.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
“One of the most disturbing films I have ever seen—its horror lies in its calm, methodical logic.”

Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
“A rigorously conceived nightmare—cool, precise and profoundly unsettling.”
