Is Gerard Butler’s ‘Last Seen Alive’ a Remake of ‘The Vanishing’?

In Last Seen Alive, Will Spann (played by Gerard) goes on an obsessive hunt for his wife Lisa (played by Jaimie Alexander) after she goes missing at a gas station. In The Vanishing, Jeff Harriman (Kiefer) goes on an obsessive hunt for his girlfriend Diane Shaver (Sandra) after she goes missing at a gas station.

Aside from the similar premises, both movies focus on the hero becoming more and more unhinged as he searches, and both have similar endings.
