From Gerald Kargl

Angst - Gerald Kargl (1983) Angst

Quote :: A man is released from prison after serving four years for murdering an elderly woman. He quickly begins to feel the compulsion to kill again...

Crazy shit!!
No wonder Gaspar Noe says this movie influenced him! Very realistic shit, especially for the 80's

This is what Gaspar Noe says about this movie:

Quote :: Then there's an Austrian movie, Angst (or "Fear", in France it was called "Schizophrenia") It's about a man killing a family just in order to go back to prison, where he felt better. It's like a very dark, European version of Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer, but much more baroque in its filming. It was banned all over the world - even in France it was one of the last movies to be X-rated for extreme violence. I think it's going to be rediscovered everywhere in the next few years. One of the masterpieces of the decade. The director never did another movie though. He had too many debts so he stopped directing

The filming, the music... everything is just perfect and intense. It is like Michael Haneke would make a remake of an Argento movie. I mean something in between these 2 styles. Trully thrilling and very daring for the time yess

And the thing with the dog, ha ha ha, really excellent
Great Horror/thriller which really deserves to be rediscovered today!
