Callboys - Jede Lust hat ihren Preis is this dark and gritty crime thriller from 1999 that dives into the seedy underbelly of a callboy ring. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and the pacing can be jarring at times, which adds to the unsettling nature of the narrative. The film revolves around Commissioner Michelle Eisner, who’s on the trail of a chilling serial killer. The gruesome detail of the killer severing tongues is not just shock value; it plays into the theme of silenced voices, particularly of women in this twisted world. Performances are adequate but lean into the archetypes, especially Lanou, who adds an air of mystery. It’s definitely not your run-of-the-mill thriller, offering a raw, indie feel with some practical effects that evoke genuine horror.
