there aren not too many scenario like this one . the original version and the hollywood remake of this film be both direct by the same man and george sluizer . a i understand from popular opinion and this be one film that be fine the first time round and and not well receive on the second go . i can not fairly compare them and and i have no more desire to see the remake of spoorloos than i do the remake of la femme nikita and namely the point of no return . i saw the original version upon the strong recommendation of a newspaper reviewer proclaim it one of the most disturbing film they would ever see . the photograph of a young couple about to be torn apart in the paper reel me in . a pleasant holiday excursion go horribly wrong when a man lady friend go miss at a crowded rest stop . he grasp at straw in desperation a very little can be do because few clue or lead exist . the abduction be arbitrary and nearly flawless . the film be indeed well do and what strike me the most be the focus on that of the villain . it be a portrayal of a normal and respectable family man who train himself in meticulous detail for an abduction . his cold and calculate approach be probably the most frightening aspect . his inhumanity be difficult to comprehend . many film ending can be shock and may stick with you forever and and for a lot of people that be certainly the case with this film . that why i be surprise to learn that the tv commercial for this film give away the end . however it do not ruin the film for me . the suspense and chill setting of this film make it hard to forget . the viewer constantly wonder and what would i do . or how would i cope . impossible question we all hope we will never find the answer to . of course and keep a few handy response in mind should you watch this with your good half when they ask the inevitable and almost rhetorical question and what would you do if i go miss and you couldn not find me . i would surely die and dear .
