Story about Jeff - a young man desperately searching for his girlfriend who disappeared at a gas station unnoticed. One day, her kidnapper shows up at Jeff's house, promising to tell him what really happened, but only when Jeff follows his order...
[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.
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.
