5.5 / 10 · TMDB

Enrico Russo rapes and slaughters children. A magistrate, a policeman and a psychiatrist try to arrest him, but it’s too difficult to identify a cancer that hides itself behind a normal life. Then, one day, Enrico meets Andrea, a 7 year old child, and falls in love with him. He wants to be Andrea’s good father, the good father he himself never had. But his emotional delirium isn’t able to hold back his animal instinct. By pure ‘chance’, the detectives find the monster in the act of his last execution. On time?

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a chilling psychological duel between the justice system and absolute evil, relying on a clinically precise, almost documentary-like exploration of pathology. It deliberately avoids exploitative shock, focusing instead on the unbearable tension of anticipation and the criminal's mechanisms of self-deception.

What lingers after the final frame is not the horror of the act, but the profound despair of witnessing an abyss where the line between human and animal irrevocably vanishes. — MovieFinder Editorial
