A gyilkos köztünk van

About This Movie

So, this Hungarian TV movie, 'A gyilkos köztünk van', is a curious piece from 1980. It adapts Robert Thomas's play, which also inspired '8 femmes'. The atmosphere is thick with suspense, though not in a frantic way. More a slow-burn tension that builds quietly. The pacing is intriguing—almost methodical, letting you soak in the characters' dynamics. The practical effects? Not flashy, but they suit the story's tone. The performances have this earnestness that draws you in, like you're peeking through a window into a world of secrets. It’s definitely not your typical crime flick; more layered and character-driven, which makes it stand out in the realm of adaptations.
