The Netflix thriller has an intriguing plot that will keep audiences at the edge of their seats until the very end of the movie.

Vanished into the Night currently has a 25% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, with some pointing out that the film has an interesting premise but is also not too different from other thrillers. Still, the Netflix movie has performed well on the platform and features some great performances. The cast of Vanished into the Night includes familiar faces such as Annabelle Wallis and Riccardo Scamarcio, who audiences might recognize from movies such as Tom Cruise’s The Mummy (2017) and John Wick Chapter 2, respectively.
