An imagined explanation


The Vanishing (2018)

Directed by Kristoffer Nyholm this film inspired by real events stars Gerard Butler, Connor Swindells and Peter Mullan. Three lighthouse keepers living on an isolated island find the body of a man washed up on the shore.

Imagining a fantastical solution for the 1900 disappearance of three lighthouse keepers this is a decent psychological thriller. The plot mostly stays realistic even if there is no evidence to support the theories it puts forward. I really enjoyed this look into isolation, greed and guilt.

3/5
