It’s 1979, and a cop named Franck Neuhardt (Guillaume Canet) has to look for a serial killer targeting young women in remote areas north of Paris. The trouble is that the cop himself is the killer, a bloodthirsty maniac who beats himself with branches and slashes his own arms with barbed wire in between running down cyclists and shooting hitchhikers. (And that’s just what you learn from watching the trailer!) This one’s based on a true story, that of schizophrenic serial killer Alain Lamare, who caused a nationwide panic in France in the late seventies.
