UK drama thriller in which three men arrive on a tiny island off the Scottish coast to carry out a six-week shift maintaining a lighthouse.
Thrill-seekers should look elsewhere; as darkness falls on the lighthouse, The Vanishing's gloomy brand of entertainment fails to spark much cinematic joy.
The biggest surprise in The Vanishing is the rare but welcome sight of Gerard Butler being good in a half-decent film.
Three lighthouse keepers make an astonishing discovery on a remote Scottish island in this tense and powerful thriller.
