The ending is a nod to The Vanishing (1988)?

I hadn't seen The Vanishing when I first watched this movie but upon a rewatch the ending with the kidnapping and all the Saskia shouting instantly reminded me of The Vanishing. Knowing Eli Roth is a massive horror fan and puts little homages in his movies it has to be a nod right?

Would be surprised if it weren't.

The original version of that film is better.
