[*AHEM!!*] You do mean The Vanishing (1993), don't you?? And by that I mean with a strong emphasis on (1993)! ;)
I meant whichever "The Vanishing" that had Sandra Bullock in it. I didn't know that there was another one.

^The original "Vanishing" came out in 1988. It was a Dutch film (IIRC), titled "Spoorloos." It's brilliant, quiet, and very disturbing. See it, and you'll never be able to watch the Hollywood-crap version again.

...OK, enough of my babbling. Back to the game.

To be fair, the same filmmaker (George Sluizer) made both versions...And, I might add, the original versions of both films basically had each other's endings.

Not only did the original version of Spoorloos have an upbeat ending just like The Vanishing ultimately would, The Vanishing was to have a *dark* ending as well! Sluizer was told American audiences wouldn't like the dark ending and so he rewrote his remake as well.

Not as simple as the old "American remakes always suck" cliché, huh?
