This movie was very well made and kept my interest throughout. However, when it was finished, I almost wished I hadn't watched it, as the conclusion was EXTREMELY disturbing. I was pretty much expecting an ending rather like this, but still it left me feeling very unsettled.
This movie is about a man and his girlfriend. They stop at a rest stop, but she never returns. Years pass and he is obsessed with finding out what happened to her. Finally, after going to the media about this, he is contacted by a man who says he can solve this mystery----provided he do EXACTLY what he tells him to do and does not question ANYTHING he has him do.
So, do I recommend you watch it? Well, if you are faint of heart or a child, no. Otherwise, watch it but be forewarned.

Well made but too disturbing for most viewers....including myself!
cold-hearted killer
Rex and Saskia are driving on a holiday. They have a fight and make up. At a gas station, Saskia disappears. Rex relentlessly searches for her. Raymond is outwardly a normal family man. In secret, he's been methodically preparing to satisfy his evil desires. He had kidnapped Saskia. Three years later, Rex is still looking for Saskia and has new girlfriend Lieneke. Evenutally Lieneke leaves him. He gets an offer from Raymond to reveal the truth of what happened.
This is a cold-hearted character. The situation is intensely harrowing. It's not really a mystery because the killer is revealed quite early on. What it does is it shakes the viewer to the core. Raymond is unrelenting. We see this through Rex's eyes and it's a runaway train. The tragedy unrolls and the audience is helpless in its face.
He Had to Know
Ever since I chanced upon "Don't Look Now" with Donald Sutherland obsessed with finding his little girl whom he is convinced has returned to life, have I been taken in by a film. This is about a young man who is filled with guilt after his wife is abducted at a gas station. He devotes his entire life to finding out what happened to her. He searches the area around the station, believing the evil is there. He is right because in addition to being let into his world, we are also let into the sick mind of the murderer. He is a man who practices abducting women. He times how long it takes for chloroform to work on a person. He practices getting women into his car. His other life is that of a respected, loving, family man. He has a spooky kind face and he works as a math teacher. Eventually the two forces meet in the third year anniversary of the abduction. Go along for the ride, but be prepared before you do so.
