Audience Member As far as serial killer movies go, this one was pleasantly restrained and thoughtful. It was, however, rather slight and could have benefited from exploring other characters psyches and subplots along with Jurgen's. The psychology was rather pat and I felt that they were trying too hard to understand what can never be understood. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member (****): Thumbs Up An extremely dark serial killer film that is easily one of the best I've ever seen. Well-acted and directed. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member There is this urging in me that says that this is a movie with flaws, but yet, I cannot identify them, I feel as it is, the powerful moments and the reverb that ensues is way more endearing and heartfelt than the bizarre and monotonous style of the title-cards and the interrogation. I feel that as it gets to the end, the catharsis is, for me, stunning, where nothing is clear as it is just difficult to fathom the events here. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Some movies are impossible to write a review for. How can you objectively review a movie that includes child-killing, dismemberment, violence against underage people and sexual perversion (and I'm <i>not</i> talking about the homosexuality, but rather about the necrophilia and nigh-cannibalism). The answer is: you can't. Jurgen Bartsch is a monster fraught with apathy, and all attempts made in this movie to offer him a human side failed on me. The movie is smart as it combines voice-over narration, staged police interrogation, personal letters and action. Tobias Schenke is simply phenomenal in his role. This movie stirs you - undoubtedly. It's not a particularly good movie, but for someone interested in heinous crimes (for there is a twisted human proclivity for that as well in all of us), this is the movie to watch.
