Dr. Muller, a friend to all, finds pleasure in turning the goodness in people to evil ends.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director constructs a psychological duel where dialogue becomes a sharp weapon and glances land like gunshots. It explores the fragility of morality, relying on the contrast between Muller's benevolent facade and the dark core of his games.

What lingers after viewing is a chilling early thriller where evil wears a mask of amiability, and every gesture carries a double meaning. A stark reminder of how easily naive faith can be dismantled. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: James Young
