Movie Reviews

Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Laura CliffordThis is as close as you're likely to get to a real serial killer and survive.
Movie Boeuf - 8/10 by David N. ButterworthGerald Kargl's home invasion splatter flick--the only film he ever made--is a fascinating experience despite the sordid subject matter.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Dennis SchwartzIt has Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986) vibes.
User Review - 10/10 by Rodney SThis is a remarkable Austrian serial killer movie, that reminds me a little of "HENRY". A man is released from prison after ten years for killing an old woman, and they think he has been rehabilitated. WRONG!!! Immediately, he searches out a home that no one seems to be there, and breaks in through a window. This movie has very little dialogue, what we hear is his own narration through his psychotic thoughts. He has a plan, where he intends to kill whoever owns the home, because that's what he does. Very very creepy, and with a Klaus Schulze soundtrack that builds the tension very very nicely. When the Mother and Daughter finally arrive at their home, he wastes little time in literally scaring the ill Mother to death, and then eventually very brutally killing the pretty daughter and then having sex with her corpse. This is after he drowns the invalid Son in the bathtub. But he is angry that all this killing did not go according to his plan, so he decides what he needs to do, is gather up all the bodies, put them in the family's car trunk, and go on another killing spree, scarring the next victims with the corpses in the trunk. This is serious stuff folks, there is no fooling around with this movie, it actually made me tense with the mounting tension created by his mental narration, the amazing music, and following his manic actions he trying to carry out an insane plan. This is a psycho thriller that has few equals in the genre, and I simply was blown away by it. The actor playing the psychopath is amazingly convincing, and I have to admit, this movie had an impact on me, I was somewhat shaken by watching it. It's not that gory, it's just flat out disturbing as hell, and one I won't soon forget. It's one of the best of it's genre I have ever seen. Brutal as hell, and convincing as hell, and what a hell of a soundtrack. Magnificent movie, catch it if you can.
User Review - 10/10 by evan pThe psycho-sensitive camera work along with the vertigo crane shots make Angst a technical masterpiece and a terrifying character study.
User Review - 10/10 by Peter FA fantastic, near-flawless masterpiece delving into the mindset and manner of thinking of a serial killer.
User Review - 10/10 by Ivo WThe camera... That camera is a protagonist. It is alive... It moves like a mouse in closed spaces, like a kite through buildings and trees, like an observable stalker through the streets, like a mirror of human faces observed closely, and turns its head as quickly as a bird. The score... That score haunted my soul. It sounds like an omen of death. Few films utilize a score so hauntingly. At first glance, it is deceptively simple, as the horror score consists of around 4 tones. But it terrifies you. It sounds like a choir echoing through a long, dark tunnel during midnight. Sounds like that make me feel powerless. It made the whole show more disturbing. This film embodies the word "disturbing" so beautifully. Actually, the power of the score does not rely on the film, and viceversa. both help each other. And then we have views on violence. Tangible monsters can be scary, but sometimes not as terrifying as the monsters of the mind. Those are harder to fight against. The protagonist embodies that anxiety. He is a prisoner of his own demands. The film is so honest and polished in its delivery, that it is almost obvious how Kargl never intended to bring exploitation to the table, but authentic horror without the need of a high body count, or screams. The more realistic it is, the more powerful the punch, and throughout, with the killer's voiceover, extreme disturbing close-ups, a camera that doesn't miss a detail, a realistic running time of events, a score that sucks your soul out, all technical accomplishments intentionally place you inside the killer's mind, and transforms your hands into his. The camera normally shies away from the intimate action of an assassination; here, you become the victim. You feel like drowning. Another thing that serves as evidence for confirming that Kargl's scope wasn't intended as exploitative is the psychological character analysis approach used since the very beginning. The narrator IS the killer. That's a dangerous move for more reasons than you can count (ask Gaspar Noé, the biggest admirer of Angst), one of them being that you as a viewer have no choice but tolerating a rotten soul that kills out of pleasure, excitement and anxiety combined. And here's someting I don't remember seeing in the genre before: while we witness the violence and horror with such asphyxiating minimalism, the narration does not explain the killings in almost 100% of the occasions. Rather, it begins to reflect in the character's past. If you have enough energy and bravery to hear his anecdotes in case that you can get past the audiovisual stimuli of the horror portrayed, you realize that his stories were either much more tragic, or definitely more graphic and disturbing. It's deception after deception, all with bloody aftermaths, which he uses as a psychological justification of his current actions, as an attempt to rationalize his irrational impulses, which is already an oxymoron. That is simply one spectacular stunt, because if you want to escape from one story, then you have to switch to the other one (that being told or that being shown), so there is no visual or emotional escape. This state of being trapped mirror's the state of the killer as well. Indeed, if you observe carefully, the anecdotes he tells have parallelisms with what he is executing at the moment (the fat mother with the pig, the handicapped son with his stepfather, etc.). That is a very accurate and loyal definition of horror: not being able to escape. How unfortunate it is that Kargl first appeared in the big screen with this extraordinary masterpiece and then left without a trace. However, Angst left an influential legacy behind in Austrian and German horror, and its reputation still lives in the minds of those who witnessed one of the most impactful psychological analyses in decades. If you liked this film, Buttgereit's Der Todesking (1990) is strongly recommended. Even fans of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986), one horror show I respect well enough, should dare go to German-speaking horror territory from time to time. 97/100
User Review - 10/10 by Candice ROne of the most disturbing films I've ever seen. Very raw and yet incredibly stylish. The lead actor's performance is mind-blowing and the score is just haunting. A real punch in the face.
User Review - 10/10 by Travis JI finally saw this one after many years of looking for it and it exceeded all expectations. Gorgeous steadicam work. Gaspar Noé's films don't seem half as innovative to me after viewing this. Nice Klaus Schulze score. Pretty much perfect.
User Review - 10/10 by Paul NOne of the most brutal, simple, german, graphic horror film I ever saw. Incredible cinematography; assessed by Gaspar Noà (C) as one of his key influence for Irrà (C)versible.
