Synopsis

The Vanishing is Inspired by the Flannan Isle mystery. A small relief boat approaches the Isle, a tiny isolated island no bigger than a football pitch, 20 miles off a rugged coast. Its aim is to routinely replace the three lighthouse keepers, after 6 weeks alone manning the light. It nears the dock and none of the men greet them. The winch is broken. A call. Nothing. Experienced keepers Thomas, James and Donald have vanished. The lamps are clean and refilled; the table is laid for dinner. There is an upturned chair. Two sets of yellow oilskins are missing...The men were never found.

Good script, but did not take the drama tension that should be.

Story: 3 | Acting: 3 | Visual: 2 | Music: 2 | Overall: 3

This is a film based on real events. Flannan Island is a small archipelago off the coast of Scotland, located on a major local route with a lighthouse. On a certain day in December 1900, after a storm, a passing ship at night found that the light of the lighthouse was not lit. The next day, someone went to the island to inquire, but failed to find the traces of the three lighthouse keepers. Their mysterious disappearance became the unsolved fan. This story is based on a bold assumption of the disappearance of the three lighthouse keepers. The three were actually accidentally discovered gold that changed all of their life. Lonely, greedy, and paranoid all came into being, and the three began to kill each other. . . The rhythm of the movie is a bit slow and the atmosphere is a bit boring. Gerard Butler, who specializes in saving the president, was swayed by action dramas. But the guards seemed to be a little incompetent, his edge was overshadowed by the performance of two other lighthouse keepers , Peter Mullan and Connor Swindells. The most breathtaking thing in the whole film is the moment when the foreign enemies go to the door to find the gold, especially the gold-finder Soren Malling. Although there are not many plays, each eye, every move from him is always full of pressure. Good script, but did not take the drama tension that should be.
