“Vanished In An Instant” (** out of four) was an instantly forgettable suspense psychodrama about a mother (Vinessa Antoine) whose daughter (Arista Arhin) disappears from a gas station without a trace and she begins investigating and discovers a widespread coverup involving various townsfolk (Natalie Lisinska, Aaron Poole, and others) underneath their picture-perfect facade. Proficiently made and directed and featuring strong work from Antoine in the lead but film is a bit too reminiscent of “The Vanishing” (right down to its title and gas-station setting) and also “Edge Of Darkness”. OK for what it is.
