La Traque

About This Movie

La Traque dives deep into the chilling investigation of Michel Fourniret, a notorious serial killer whose reign of terror spanned Belgium and France. The tone is quite somber, as you’d expect with a subject like this, and it creates an almost suffocating atmosphere of dread. The pacing is methodical, allowing tension to build slowly, which is refreshing in a TV movie format. The performances are compelling, with a rawness that feels very real—definitely fits into the gritty drama territory. What stands out is its grounded approach; there are no over-the-top dramatizations or flashy effects, just a stark portrayal of the manhunt and the impact on those involved. It’s distinctive in its unflinching look at both the crime and the emotional toll it takes on the investigators.
