In Reply to: Surely you're not equating an empty-headed splatter movie like posted by tinear on August 31, 2003 at 15:17:40:
***For god's sake, tell me you haven't seen the original "The Vanishing" but that your opinion is based on the remake!Wrong again - I haven't seen the remake, and wouldn't see it.
And... hmmmmm.... what opinion of mine was that? I didn't express ANY about that film. Not in years. And if you think Bernard-Pierre Donnadieu is diabolical there, take a look at his work in Passion of Beatrice.
There was no connection in my post made between the two films.

The above sure SEEMS like an opinion.
Thanks for the recommendation about "The Passion of Beatrice." I doubt my tiny little local video store will have it...
I thought Donnadieu was sensational in The V.
The scene wherein he planted the spiders in the drawer for his young daughter to find--- and then his little smile when she screamed...
A non-derivative and original film. How rare...
It is indeed a good film, but rare? Good as it is, it is hardly rare.Fortunately for all of us, there are thousands of great films in existence.
...and I suspect you missread my sentence. The "crippled" word had to do with the remakes, not the original Vanishing.
and crippled doesn't even begin to describe the remake of The Vanishing. As I recall, it has a happy ending, which, of course, tops a long list of offenses. Hollywood cynicism at its worst.
