In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

PROS: If this movie was a dark comedy, it didn't do half bad... But it wasn't a dark comedy so it was pretty awful.CONS: To start us off, the plot??? Not only is it so poorly constructed, but it makes absolutely no sense either. With most movies you can pull out plot holes, but in VANISH there was no plot to be had! Another issue was the genre selected in this film. You could obviously tell that the director wanted a horror but failed at the script, so instead he filled the movie with worthless gore and blood. And to add to the monstrosity of gore fest the acting was crap. After a mans face is cut into with a saw he laughs (it was a terrible, unthinkable, and unrealistic laugh) and lives to fight back! Like C'mon, who do they think I am. Yet another trouble with VANISH was the ending. Trust me when I tell you, the ending is a plot twist that shouldn't even have been considered. Just because you put in a plot twist doesn't make it a good ending, it makes it a sad excuse for a horror film. Last but not least, CATCHPHRASES! From classics like, "You're roadkill," and, " This is your dead end," and last but not least," You took a wrong turn."www.chorror.com

OK so the first half hour of this movie was tough to get through because the acting was very poor - or so I thought...After watching the whole movie I rate the acting quite good, especially from Maiara Walsh, who was brilliant. Initially the two guys in the van appeared to be complete half wits and I thought it was the acting but thinking about it, some of it was the characters they were playing - who were morons...Considering the very limited sets and budget, this movie delivers an enjoyable ride. Some of the violence effects are second rate and some acting is below par but generally good - and as I have mentioned - Maiara played a good part - and is drop dead gorgeous to boot :) 6 stars - OK this should really have got a 5 stars but gave it an extra one because of Maiara Walsh :)

An independent/low budget movie that does deliver mostly. The story is nicely told and the action is nicely shot as well (there will be blood at times, so you can't be too squeamish about it). Don't expect to see too much of Danny Trejo though. I think he's doing a lot of movies, where he just has a small role (like in this one).But the movie works well, especially the twists and turns along the way (no pun intended). There are a couple of different endings to this which normally isn't the best sign, but I think the ending that made it into the movie is the best one. It almost couldn't have ended any other way (even if it did and you can watch those scenes on your disk)

This movie was pathetic. The acting (or over-acting) was almost laughable, it was so poor. Virtually the entire movie takes place in a van (which quickly gets boring). The character interactions (such as they are) are almost parodies unto themselves. The story is non- existent. Nothing is accomplished, other than serving as a platform for an hour and a half of gory bloodshed and mangled bodies. Playing up Danny Trejo as a "plus" for the movie is a joke, as his part is less than 5 minutes (and done just as poorly as the others).If this were intended to be a farce, it was highly successful. Unfortunately, from what I can tell, it is supposed to be a serious movie. The language is extremely raw. As to "special effects", I have seen better "bloodshed" in high school drama class. The make-up was overdone. And the basic premise was so unbelievable that I almost turned it off several times -- only watching to the end so that I could make sure I could review the entire movie.Stay away from this piece of junk. It is truly horrible.
