Laurin

Richly atmospheric, gloriously morbid and menacing Gothic chiller about a child killer in 19th century Germany.

This horror-tinged German drama centres around a young girl experiencing night-time visions in an early 19th-century port town where a child killer is at large. Freudian undercurrents and the mood of sexual unease suggest a kinship with Angela Carter’s revisionist fairytales, as well as Italian maestro Dario Argento in this dark coming-of-age tale rich in atmospheric detail.

Please note that during production the German/Hungarian cast spoke in English on set, which was later dubbed over by native English speakers. As this version contains the most accurate lip-syncing it is considered the primary soundtrack option, and is the version presented here.
