Strangled or A Martfüi Rém (The Monster from Martfü) is based on true events and tells the story of a Hungarian serial murderer/necrophiliac in the 1960's. It's an interesting story to follow, but it's also not the most captivating movie about a psychopath like him, nevertheless it's a well made movie. The murder/rape shots are a bit graphic and that makes the movie look real, without being too disgusting to watch though. The acting wasn't bad. I didn't know any of the actors but they all did a good job. You can't help thinking that research and justice were not the greatest things in that era in that country. I don't think I watched a lot of Hungarian movies before but this one is worth a watch.
Set in the 60s. It's a true story of a Hungarian serial killer and the case for finding him. Some is so sad because he seems to be killing some girls who consider him a friend. This one is very well done. Loved it.
What a surprise!
9+, this movie is well scripted.
sex is Not gratuitous, as each scenes reinforce the whole.
better then Hannibal or se7en as it feel real and complicate ,
lots of psychological revelations by the end, what a great Film.
I just want to congratulate all the creators of this movie.
It kept my attention from the first second to the last and never ceased to be interesting throughout the movie.
Well done!
Difficult to watch, but excellent portrait of an era where denial was the best crime policy.
Some scenes are gruesome and disturbing, but crime, specially, serial crime is not glamorous.
