One of the finest European films ever!

This was Fritz Lang's first talking picture and on seeing it you would think he had been making them for years.

A truly terrifying film that scares you by what you don't see. A child killer is constantly eluding capture and in their desperation turn to the underwold in their search. The underworld cannot live with the interference, so decide to find the killer themselves. Peter Lorre as the killer is absolutely mesmerizing. The use of shadow and sound technique is again Lang at his finest. Lang uses sound by not using sound.

This is widely regarded as one of the best European films ever made. And is regularly listed as one of the best films ever made. The subject matter is still as relevent today as it was back then.

This film's importance in setting the blueprints for future filmmakers cannot be underestimated. A film that demands to be seen.
