User Reviews
SlasherFanatic66 – 7/10
“I'm a sucker for these old-school krimis, and this one delivers the goods. The monk costume is seriously creepy, and the acid/gas kills are unique. It's not fast-paced, but the atmosphere is thick enough to cut with a knife. If you're into classic horror mysteries, give it a shot.”
GrimReaper_01 – 5/10
“For me, it had its moments, but the pacing was a bit slow, and the reveal didn't hit as hard as I hoped. The villain's concept is cool, but the execution felt dated. I appreciate the style, but I wouldn't rewatch it. A decent time killer for rainy days.”
Celluloid_Shiver – 8/10
“This is what I call a hidden gem! I loved the creepy monk getup and the way the murders are staged. The director Alfred Vohrer knows how to build suspense, and that ending had me thinking for days. If you're someone who appreciates slow-burn horror with a lot of atmosphere, you'll dig this.”
BehindTheMask – 6/10
“It's a solid entry in the krimi genre, though not the best I've seen. The kills are inventive, and the mystery kept me guessing, but some parts felt overly convoluted. The acting is okay, but I wish they'd delved deeper into the killer's backstory. Still, worth a watch for horror completists.”
