About

In this classic German thriller, Hans Beckert, a serial killer who preys on children, becomes the focus of a massive Berlin police manhunt. Beckert's heinous crimes are so repellant and disruptive to city life that he is even targeted by others in the seedy underworld network. With both cops and criminals in pursuit, the murderer soon realizes that people are on his trail, sending him into a tense, panicked attempt to escape justice.
Hans Beckert exists in a terrifying state of compulsion, caught between his own predatory urges and the relentless hunt of both the law and the criminal underworld. This expressionist nightmare uses shadows and sound to turn a city into a claustrophobic trap for a killer who cannot escape himself.
