Vanished into the Night (2024)

"Vanished in the Night" is a captivating new foreign film available on Netflix. Unlike many foreign films, the dubbing in this one is surprisingly good, with voices that don't betray the characters. It was a pleasant surprise. However, the film itself feels like a chaotic mess, as if a novice writer penned the story without any feedback or editing. The direction and production also seem amateurish, giving off a first-time filmmaker vibe. The lead actor seems miscast, lacking the presence of an action or suspense star, and the family dynamic feels off. The storyline is erratic, leading to a twist that falls flat, followed by a disappointing ending that leaves viewers feeling cheated. The film's lack of resolution and characters' passive acceptance of events make it a frustrating watch, like a rollercoaster that abruptly crashes and burns.
