Don't know what happened to John Smith but I declare this Folk Horror.
Gruesome murder rocks in-bred (surely) town in rural Germany - set
in the fifties (?) but could easily be two hundred years earlier with how
cut off everything is from the modern world.
I really enjoyed this. Not quite horror but its very-dark crime story has an oppressive IN COLD BLOOD feel. In fact it too is based on a famous (to Germans)
real-life case that remains unsolved.
Nicely acted, interesting cast of weirdos and suitably dreary visuals.
What idiot came up with the English name though? Sounds like agri-torture porn.
SPOILERS...
And refreshingly non-patronising. We're never told who did it, though there are a couple of big clues.
