The film's German Impressionistic style really sets a unique tone, blending stark visuals with a haunting narrative.

The pacing is methodical, allowing the tension to build as viewers witness the deceptive kindness he offers his victims. The practical effects subtly enhance the grim atmosphere, making the story's horror feel all the more real. It's a distinctive take on a true story that leaves you contemplating the moral complexities of survival and complicity.
