This episode in our Tales of Horror series  presents a chilling deep-dive into “The Vanishing” (1988), a masterclass in psychological suspense from director George Sluzier. We explore how a seemingly ordinary morning spirals into a nightmare of perception, obsession, and vanishing hope, anchored by  haunting performances from Bernard-Pierre Donnadieu, Gene Bervoets and Johanna ter Steege. We unpack the tightrope walk between dread and plausibility, and the film’s enduring questions about fate, memory, and the human psyche. Featuring insights into the screenplay by Gene Bervoets, and a look at how The Golden Egg motif threads through the story, this episode reveals why The Vanishing remains a benchmark in psychological thrillers. Tune in for scene analyses, behind-the-scenes anecdotes, and a discussion of the film’s legacy in horror cinema.<a href="https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/the-vanishing">Where To Watch The Vanishing (1988)</a>
