Violent deaths, spewing blood, and killers in masks are terrifying and incredibly important niches in the horror genre. When you think about horror, these explicit motifs are usually the first to come to mind. However, there is a more harrowing topic of terror that everyone can relate to, and everyone can agree that it is horrifying, and that is existential dread. In 1988, director George Sluizer released the widely influential horror film The Vanishing, which tackles the topics of existential dread, kidnapping, and living with the trauma of loss.How do you carry on when the one you love is missing and presumed dead? That's the viewpoint that The Vanishing takes, and it is a doozy.
