This is an original, a stark and (sorry) biting work far more complex, both stylistically and thematically, than first meets the eye.

Much misunderstood, this original belgina film is a stairical stab at serial killers, our new "cultural icons"; you begin to undrstand why there are so many work in pop culture about them; the film's moral was misinterpreted by some critics.

Joins I Stand Alone and Funny Games on the list of maddeningly recondite European films that exploit the violence-in-media subtext to hide their sick, voyeuristic fantasies.
