Angst (I) (1983)
8/10
Definitely more for cinephiles than horror fans

The camerawork was spectacular, as was the lead actor's casting/performance. However some of the other performances (such as that of the youngest female victim) were a bit flat and lifeless (excuse the pun). The murders are much less intense and drawn out than I was expecting, which I was glad about as I was not personally looking for something particularly gory. While the killer's backstory is quite interesting, some of the anecdotes (such as those of the older girlfriend) are a bit far fetched and too fifty-shades-of-grey-esque for my liking, but some of the dialogue was intriguing. Overall, I enjoyed Angst as the camerawork was captivating. If you are someone that is more 'substance over style' then this film might not be for you, but if you're looking for a fascinating study in camera angles and over-the-shoulder techniques then this is a must-see.
