CGiii Comment

The cinematography and lighting are stunning.

Unfortunately, something doesn't quite work with the story...perhaps, a little too low-key!?!

With all the blood and nudity...it doesn't quite manage to hit the boiling point. But...it oozes quality - in the technical department.

The(ir) Blurb...

A small village is haunted by strange and awful murders. The scared villagers turn to two officials in search for help to solve the crimes. The investigations point to a very perfidious kind of murders: All victims were nibbled off shortly before or after their death. Could an animal be the cause of the strange bite tracks in face and arms of the dead bodies?

Richard und Gilbert werden in ein einsames Dorf entsendet, das von grausamen Morden überschattet wird. Während die beiden Ermittler versuchen, Licht in das Dunkel der seltsamen Ereignisse zu bringen, entwickeln sie zunehmend ein unstillbares Verlangen zueinander, das den Lauf der weiteren Ermittlungen dramatisch beeinflussen wird.
