Actor and writer Isaura Barbé-Brown goes deep on two quietly distressing films: 10 Rillington Place (1971), which dramatises the real-life murderer John Christie, and the much-acclaimed Spoorloos (1988), a Dutch horror film that was dubbed by Stanley Kubrick to be the "most terrifying film" he'd ever seen. PLUS a little spoilery rant about the American remake The Vanishing (1993).
