I had not seen this movie and it looked good so I bought it. I usually do this when I am manic. So I watched this movie when it was late and was a little tired. Anyway from the start I was unsure how good this was going to be and for good reason. I believe it is in German so the subtitles should give it more of a pass because you feel more of the emotion because when you cant understand the language you cant get a true feeling of the verbal emotion. That gives you the ability to really give it the emotion you expect from it. It helps out with bad acting. I was really not getting into this movie from the start. The concept the killer was based around was cool, but that was only for the first ten minutes. After that it was a Hannibal rip off. Could not come close. Another rip was from Se7en. This was in the first ten minutes. Back to the dialogue, not sure if it was as bad as the translation but it was lame at times. So now that you think the movie is going to suck, it is not that bad. The whole plot is pretty cool wont tell you about it but was dissapointed at the end. Some would like it but it was not what I wanted to see. I like hard to watch stuff, thats the only hint. Now a large chunk of this movie was great and I will have to watch it again but I was mad tired and wanted to sleep. It is a serial killer flick and if you like that type of thing watch this. I do think most people would enjoy it if you like foreign flicks. So it is good but not great.
Killer. Reminds me of a Terry Gillman flick. Fun and strange. Plot is wonderful and dark. It is different because it is not done in a way that makes it dark, like a dark comedy. I would go into this movie not knowing too much about it. HIGHLY recommended french flick. Also check, Amelie, City of Lost Children.
