It was remade in the US as "The Vasnishing" - but skip the American version. The original is a brilliantly haunting meditation on loss, obsession and death. Just thinking about the ending makes me squirm in my seat.

based on the novel (more like a novella) by Tim Krabbe ... brother to actor Jeroen Krabbé.

well- i still go with the list of most influential horror films in a book called Projected Fears:
Dracula (1931), The Thing (1951), Psycho (1960), Night of the Living Dead (1968), The Exorcist (1973), Texas Chainsaw (1974), Halloween (1978), Silence of the Lambs (1991), Scream (1996), and The Sixth Sense (1999).

I stand by these as the films that most dramatically changed the nature of horror films!

A top ten is far too difficult a list to compile (for me), whether it is simply favourites or ground breaking moments in horror cinema. I offer you ten films that scared the living shit out of me the time I first saw them...leaving an impressionable mind scarred for life.

1. Psycho
2. Night of the Living Dead
3. Jaws
4. The Changeling
5. The Exorcist
6. The Omen
7. Alien
8. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
9. Halloween
10. The Evil Dead

I want it understood that I am speaking of the original films and not any sequels or remakes. By the way, being recently subjected to The Notebook by my wife almost rivals these childhood frights.

Im a guy, and I enjoyed the notebook, sure it was a love story, but I liked it. Im sure enough of my manhood to admit it.

I did not join this forum to argue the merits of 'The Notebook', nor did I join to have the security in my manhood questioned by a complete stranger. It was a joke...a little levity and was not meant to be taken so seriously. Truth is, as tear jerkers go...I'm more of a 'Terms of Endearment' fan.
