L'étrangleur

This hungarian movie started off well but lost its way after that and went on to become an average flick. Movie lacked the required necessary twist and turns to make it an edge of seat thriller. Yes it depicted that due to political pressure, someone gets to go to prison for 10 years without actually being the killer but overall it couldnt keep me interested. I expected more, look away murder mystery/thriller fans.

Few plot lines could have been focused to make it more interesting but that didnt happen and hence required attachment between characters and audience went missing. Maybe it can be liked by people of same country but tough for foreign people.

Strangled or A Martfüi Rém (The Monster from Martfü) is based on true events and tells the story of a Hungarian serial murderer/necrophiliac in the 1960's. It's an interesting story to follow, but it's also not the most captivating movie about a psychopath like him, nevertheless it's a well made movie. The murder/rape shots are a bit graphic and that makes the movie look real, without being too disgusting to watch though. The acting wasn't bad. I didn't know any of the actors but they all did a good job. You can't help thinking that research and justice were not the greatest things in that era in that country. I don't think I watched a lot of Hungarian movies before but this one is worth a watch.

Set in the 60s. It's a true story of a Hungarian serial killer and the case for finding him. Some is so sad because he seems to be killing some girls who consider him a friend. This one is very well done. Loved it.

Because I think , that is the first Hungarian film I've ever watched ! Definitely , well made : really makes you feel , how claustrophobic and vulnerable people were in this particular time and place .

What a surprise! 9+, this movie is well scripted. sex is Not gratuitous, as each scenes reinforce the whole. better then Hannibal or se7en as it feel real and complicate , lots of psychological revelations by the end, what a great Film.
