The Vanishing

my God.

The Vanishing is another one that I think I've mentioned on the pod many times.

But you have to watch the Danish original.

Oh, okay.

So fingers crossed I get to watch that this year, but.

Well, the only time that my wife and I have had time to watch a horror movie was the one movie, but it was 1988's The Vanishing.

I don't know if I mentioned it on our last stream.

It's a French-Dutch film, so it's got a lot of subtitles, but if you haven't seen it, it's actually not bad.

And we got a spooky one we've never seen before.

It is 1988's The Vanishing.

The Vanishing by George Sluizier.

Sluizier.

He's Dutch.

Now, there's a few remakes of this, I think.

We're watching the original 1988 Dutch film.

The Vanishing.

Oh, no.

So, spoilers for Sporlos.

Yeah, well, I mean...

Yeah, but still, yes.

Because, you know, the twist is amazing in that movie.

Yeah.

Guy and Sporlos, it's a couple on vacation and they stop at a gas station.

She gets out.

Hepburn ended up training at New York's Lighthouse for the Blind to get an idea of how blind people navigate their homes, and she was required by the studio to wear hard contact lenses to keep her from focusing in-scene on other actors' faces.

Our last film is The Vanishing from 1988 about a Dutch man searching for three years for his girlfriend who disappeared inexplicably during a road trip through France.

This film still gets me.

If my husband takes too much time during a pit stop at a gas station when we're traveling, I can feel the fear in my chest.

... with the same director.

I always think it's so weird, like with, uh, I think it was called The Vanishing, George Sluizer.

He made the original Dutch movie and then remade it himself with Jeff Bridges and Kiefer Sutherland years later.

Yeah, yeah.

in, uh, in that one.

And then the other one is The Vanishing.

Yes.

And that is, uh, that stars Jeff Bridges-

The Netherlands.

We had the human centipede first sequence, versing the vanishing.

So we'll start with the human centipede.

A mad scientist kidnaps and mutilates a trio of tourists in order to reassemble them into a human centipede created by stitching their mouths to each other's rectums.

I actually think it's quite enjoyable.

In the sickest sense.

It's going up against a movie called The Vanishing from 1988.

So Rex and Saskia, a young couple in love, are on vacation.
