Plot:
The first flashback in this misbegotten German attempt at a sick thriller comes after three
minutes. The sight of the father victimising his young son and daughter has some pretty nasty
implications. However, the director adds a close-up of a foot stomping on a doll's face, just to
make sure that we "get it". And that says pretty much all about the film.
Now grown up, the son (never given a name by the movie) is a lonely deaf-mute, collecting dolls
and suffering from flashbacks - the next one comes four minutes later. He is picked up by a
prostitute and just wants to cuddle, but is thrown out and insulted. (Rather unfairly - after all,
he had paid.) In his flat, he plays with a knife, while eerie music is heard on the soundtrack.
Then he puts some ketchup on his hand (!), sucking on it. Later, red ink gets spilled over
the man's hand, and the movie hastens to oblige with a flashback into his schooldays when
red ink got spilled over his hands. This is called "symbolism", if you want to say something
good about the movie.
A vague scene with a coffinmaker's daughter follows, during which he manages to steal some
tools which he uses to break into a cemetary. Confronting some corpses in their coffins, he picks
the prettiest one and bends over her while organ music is playing. He uses his knife on the corpse,
and - well, blood gets on his hand. It all comes together, you see? Nothing much happens for some
time - even the flashbacks cease - , but the film does come up with a surprising scene in which the
man pulls out the eyes of a corpse. It's not an especially well-executed effect, but at least something
is happening. There are some more dismemberment scenes, accompanied by what sounds like a fat
cat methodically hopping up and down an organ keyboard. It's a dog's life for blood-sucking necrophiliacs,
and it gets worse when one attacks the living. Do I need to go on?
