SUFF - Megalomaniac

SUFF - Megalomaniac CTC

**AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE** 1997, Mons, Belgium. The “Butcher”, one of Europe’s most notorious serial killers, strikes and abruptly vanishes. He leaves behind him no clues other than a trail of trash bags, bits and scraps of femme-flesh in ruin, sole testimony to his brutal killings. Born in blood and rage, his offspring, Martha (Eline Schumacher) and Felix (Benjamin Ramon), must carry on with their gruesome heritage. They take over his eternal wrath and, through agony and revenge, fall into the realm of absolute darkness. Prolific filmmaker Karim Ouelhaj delivers his fourth feature, and by far the most savage. His sharp examination of societal anguish blends into this genre-adoring film that no horror devotee would dare to miss. A visceral film about the torture of madness that blurs the line between victims and executioners. Carried by the breathtaking performance of lead actor Eline Schumacher and her descent into insanity, the film digs deep into one of Belgium’s deepest traumas, the real-life sordid story of the Mons Butcher. The film is a nightmare of mystical violence anchored in the reality of female persecution and gender-based abuse, a radical yet subtly nuanced take on the evil of patriarchy and its undying legacy. – Celia Pouzet
