      T T Average German movie...not bad. The scenery is beautiful. Germany is a beautiful country. It's nice to watch and be exposed to different movie styles from different countries. The biggest problem is the slow/snail's pace of development of the movie. Things only picked up in the last 30 minutes. Alice Dwyer (Helena) is the only talented/serious actor here. She did a very good job. The other actors gave average performances at best. Overall, this is a watchable movie, but just to pass time. The only reason this gets a 3/5 is because of Alice Dwyer (Helena). Otherwise, it doesn't really deserve more than a 2.5/5. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Lucas Esse filme é inesquecível! Nunca irei esquecer dele como simplesmente o pior filme que já assisti. O roteiro é pobre e extremamente mal escrito, as mortes são forçadas e sem sentido, tem várias cenas de um mal gosto INEXPLICÁVEL como uma morte em uma escola cheia onde a assassina carrega o corpo pelos corredores e ninguém nota (a mais bizarra pra mim), uma cena de invasão domiciliar seguida de abuso sexual em que o filme tenta justificar como normal (quase tão bizarra quanto), entre quase todas as outras mortes galhofas do filme e cenas que tentam ser sensuais mas falham miseravelmente. A direção é péssima, o roteiro pior ainda (como dá pra perceber), as atuações são amadoras e apáticas (com exceção da atriz que interpreta a Nina), os personagens são muito mal construídos, detestáveis (principalmente o protagonista) e nenhum deles desperta a simpatia do espectador (de novo, com exceção da Nina), o plot twist é até interessante, mas só piora tudo porque revela que toda aquela trama parte de uma vingança totalmente desproporcional. O filme não tem absolutamente NADA de bom, com exceção da fotografia e da ambientação - parece que esses foram os únicos profissionais que resolveram trabalhar bem nessa produção. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/05/22 Full Review Audience Member the movie is dub, <German> but great story Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Es una película para pasar el rato y nada más; la trama es decente y las actuaciones son pasables; es un thriller alemán muy simple pero efectivo. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A Thriller without a twist. Feels like a chocolate cake without the choco. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful scenery, engaging mystery plot but loose ends could stand to be tied up a little more clearly. The murder scene in the library was very disturbing. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
