      Danger S The director and writer may have tried to make the movie broadly applicable, but it's still basically a Christian allegory, made in the same vapid, superficial way most Christian allegories are. Which is disappointing, because I thought The Machinist was really well done. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/18/24 Full Review Dan D Meh movie that isn't really worth the time. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/03/23 Full Review jelisije j If you want to watch a movie that explains anything about its story throughout its runtime this movie ain't for you. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Ad e Great film, fantastic performances all around. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/21/22 Full Review Alan G It could have had a better/more satisfying ending, but mostly a decent movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/30/22 Full Review Audience Member How do you possibly explain Brad Anderson's filmography? He directed this movie after directing the Machinist. If you compare the two you get a good sense of Brad's style. He pretty much sets up every scene as if he is directing a television commercial. In fact, the whole first scene of this movie looks absolutely like an AMC movie theatre commercial. I would not be surprised to find that he indeed got his start directing commercials. The odd thing is that this kind of works in his favor. At least it did in the machinist because it gave the setting a dreamlike quality which sort of made sense considering the main character was sleep deprived and anorexic. But in this movie, the commercial quality is quite baffling. Most of the sets seem like they took a long time to decorate; its obvious that details had been dissected during the making of these sets. That being said, much attention was needed else where. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online Overall, Vanishing on 7th Street was just randomly ridiculous and utterly asinine. Rated: D Sep 9, 2017 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com The movie plays like an Off-Broadway theatrical production still going through rehearsals, the cast and crew trying to wring the kinks out of the material in lieu of opening night. Rated: 2/4 Mar 11, 2011 Full Review Tom Long Detroit News Prediction: Vanishing on 7th St. will vanish from theaters very quickly. Rated: D Mar 4, 2011 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The film gives up after establishing its basic concept and leaves the audience wanting more, a lot more. Rated: 2/4 Aug 3, 2023 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Vanishing takes advantage of the ancestral fear of the dark. [Full review in Spanish] Oct 6, 2022 Full Review Anton Bitel VODzilla.co Brad Anderson plays off cinema's light and shadow for existential, apocalyptic horror.
