Wendekreis der Angst

Almost unwatchable.

It's inspired by Silence of the Lambs but without any of the talent. The acting is painfully bad all around. I'm not sure who to recommend this to... If you're a diehard 80s detective film fan that needs to see every single film. But even then, you're better off skipping this one.

Get me right, this is a movie that plays like a tv-movie from the early 90's, so you know you will be hearing a lot of tacky music emulating orchestras with digital keyboards. Not all of it though, as the film actually has some groovy jazz music with real orchestration. Story and dialogue is not original in any way, but I was entertained the whole film and it was short (just under 80 minutes). The real saving graces of the film is the acting by Kay Rush who actually pulls it off playing the female cop and delivers in scenes of battle. It may confuse to begin with, as it has two parallell investigations but the real one that will conclude the film is screaming giallo. Given we're talking 1992 and most entries from this time was totally horrible, I have seen a lot worse I must say. This one along with Washing machine and Strange story of Olga O is probably among the better giallo entries from the early 90's.
