In the Wake
Watch TrailerA detective hunting a serial killer finds the case violently echoing the unresolved trauma of his own childhood. Each victim becomes a mirror to a past he tried to bury, and the city's streets transform into a maze of unspoken grievances. As the investigation deepens, the line between justice and personal vengeance blurs, forcing him to confront the ghosts he meticulously locked away. The narrative masterfully walks the tightrope between a gripping thriller and a profound psychological drama, where every clue uncovered leads deeper into a personal abyss.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
This is less a conventional thriller and more a surgical dissection of memory and guilt. The director employs silence and lingering glances to build a profound, unsettling weight, where the past feels like a physical presence.
What lingers after the credits roll is a profound meditation on injustice and the fragility of societal protection. It challenges the viewer to question who truly needs saving in a world that fails its most vulnerable. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Takahisa Zeze

Oppressive silence pierced by sharp sounds, the muted colors of urban alleyways, and a persistent sense of being watched.
