VANish (2015)

I love this movie so much

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

PROS: If this movie was a dark comedy, it didn't do half bad... But it wasn't a dark comedy so it was pretty awful.CONS: To start us off, the plot??? Not only is it so poorly constructed, but it makes absolutely no sense either. With most movies you can pull out plot holes, but in VANISH there was no plot to be had! Another issue was the genre selected in this film. You could obviously tell that the director wanted a horror but failed at the script, so instead he filled the movie with worthless gore and blood. And to add to the monstrosity of gore fest the acting was crap. After a mans face is cut into with a saw he laughs (it was a terrible, unthinkable, and unrealistic laugh) and lives to fight back! Like C'mon, who do they think I am. Yet another trouble with VANISH was the ending. Trust me when I tell you, the ending is a plot twist that shouldn't even have been considered. Just because you put in a plot twist doesn't make it a good ending, it makes it a sad excuse for a horror film. Last but not least, CATCHPHRASES! From classics like, "You're roadkill," and, " This is your dead end," and last but not least," You took a wrong turn."www.chorror.com

OK so the first half hour of this movie was tough to get through because the acting was very poor - or so I thought...After watching the whole movie I rate the acting quite good, especially from Maiara Walsh, who was brilliant. Initially the two guys in the van appeared to be complete half wits and I thought it was the acting but thinking about it, some of it was the characters they were playing - who were morons...Considering the very limited sets and budget, this movie delivers an enjoyable ride. Some of the violence effects are second rate and some acting is below par but generally good - and as I have mentioned - Maiara played a good part - and is drop dead gorgeous to boot :) 6 stars - OK this should really have got a 5 stars but gave it an extra one because of Maiara Walsh :)

An independent/low budget movie that does deliver mostly. The story is nicely told and the action is nicely shot as well (there will be blood at times, so you can't be too squeamish about it). Don't expect to see too much of Danny Trejo though. I think he's doing a lot of movies, where he just has a small role (like in this one).But the movie works well, especially the twists and turns along the way (no pun intended). There are a couple of different endings to this which normally isn't the best sign, but I think the ending that made it into the movie is the best one. It almost couldn't have ended any other way (even if it did and you can watch those scenes on your disk)

Greetings from Lithuania."VANish" (2015) is sometimes laughably bad, sometimes laughably gory, sometimes laughably stupid but most important, never good. The plot is very simple, and not really engaging. To be honest, i somehow managed to watch it till the end, till the very bad end. There was a shoot out scene at the end that has to be one of the worst shoot out scenes in the movie history - seriously, watch it closely and you will spot some very serious errors in continuity, terrible editing and even worst directing. What was the point of this whole movie? Overall, to think that someone managed to spend a lot of money for creating this stuff and hoping to get it back kinda makes me want shake my head in disbelieve. The only think that was kinda nice in this movie actually was Bryan Bockbrader's acting. That i think was not bad performance at all, and you clearly see that this guy has some natural talent, although the material is wrong to make any real judgments. Overall, you can safely skip this flick and save some 1 h and 17 min.
