The elevated genre film, directed by the prolific Renato De Maria (“Hotel Fear,” “Paz!”) shot to No. 1 justdays after dropping globally on July 11 on Netflix, where it is ensconced in the top slot among non-English films on the streamers’ most recent Global Top 10 chart dated July 8-July 14.

More recently, on July 18, “Vanished” was the most viewed movie on Netflix, according to streaming analytics firm FlixPatrol.

“Vanished,” which mixes classic noir and family dynamics tropes – and is adapted from Argentinean thriller “Seventh Floor” (“Séptimo”) directed byPatxi Amezcua – is penned by ace Italian screenwriter and novelist Francesca Marciano(“A Brighter Tomorrow”) and Luca Infascelli(“The Catholic School”). Giacomo Durzi (“Baby”) serves as creative producer.

The thriller is produced by Roberto Sessa (“The Sea Outside”) via his Picomedia label, which recently joined the Fremantle fold when the company acquired Asacha Media Group which comprises Picomedia.

Sessa said in a statement to PvNew that, besides being a “source of great pride,” topping Netflix’s global chart provides tangible proof that the international potential of movies “is determined by stories and quality and not just by language.”

“Seeing this little film conquer viewers all over the world reaffirms this notion,” Sessa added.
