a real insult to the original spoorloos and which be one of the most genuinely disturbing film ( and i intend this a a compliment . ) i have see in the last year . where the original be chill and brilliant and the remake be flat and even boring and especially the happy end finale take away what little suspense there be in this film in the first place . while such a distortion ( especially graft a happy end which wasn not there previously ) be quite frequently the case in hollywood remake of european art house movie and could have be expect and the big disappointment lie in the fact that this inane mess be create by the very same filmmaker who do the original spoorloos . why mr. sluizer decide to ruin his masterpiece in such a fashion be beyond me . avoid this abomination at all cost and a it might spoil the original for you even if watch after that and let alone the other way round .
