In a 19th century German village, a young girl experiences fearsome night-time visions as a deranged child-killer stalks the streets…
Evoking Valerie and Her Week of Wonders, The Company of Wolves and the lurid cinema of Italian maestros Mario Bava and Dario Argento, Robert Sigl’s richly atmospheric, gloriously morbid and menacing Gothic chiller still yet creates a dark coming-of-age tale all its own.
With wonderful set and costume design, and superb cinematography by Nyika Jancsó, Laurinis a debut feature of remarkable confidence, style and assurance.
