Chris Ward Flickering Myth If you were inclined to line up a marathon of serial killer movies you could pair it with the likes of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, The Manson Family or Maniac, although you'll need a damn good shower afterwards. Sep 3, 2019 Full Review C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore Schramm offers an effective look at the deranged life of a serial killer, the introverted pleasures of madness, and never once lets you forget what you're watching.

tom k I love these films that eff with your mind. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Schramm is an interesting study of the mind of a serial sex killer. We see two murders from multiple angles throughout as Schramm replays the events over in his mind. There is also an uncomfortable scene of him hammering nails into his penis. The one thing I liked is that because of his actions of killing the Jehovah's Witnesses he had to clean up the blood, which led to him painting his room and falling off of the ladder dying. If he had not killed the JW's he would not have died, and would have been there for his neighbour who is now the victim of other nefarious people. Acting was good, although some developments were not logical. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Ugh I guess it's certainly something Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Buttgereit directs yet another sleazy, gory, pretentious mess. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member An innovation, a true cult classic. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member I like the Nekromantik films more, but the artistic flair is still gritty, yet, dazzling.
