Austin Chronicle
"A good, psychological thriller that, I suspect, packs more of a wallop if you have not seen the original."

The Washington Post
"A case study in how Hollywood can make a complete mess out of what was previously a marvelous film." 
United States

"The new Vanishing fails on its own terms -- it gradually adopts the conventions of a silly monster movie and loses the emotional impact of a psychological thriller in the process"
