“Angst (1983) is one of my favourite horror films of all time. This very disturbing German horror picture is a true gem. The camera work for me is one of the many things that make this film so great. The camera feels very over the shoulder and gets you up close and personal with the disturbing events that take place. Plenty of facial shots also really capture the essence of the main character. Itu0026#39;s honestly not hard to tell the man is mentally disturbed. The actor who plays the main character is beyond perfect in the role, looking very sly and demented. Plus the narration that this character gives us throughout the whole movie is simply pure evil. I felt as if I was watching a real life serial murder happen before my eyes, which is exactly what makes this film so disturbing. Itu0026#39;s not heavy on gore and nudity but the manner in which it was filmed and narrated is definitely disturbing to me. since the film at itu0026#39;s core is a character study that follows a deeply disturbed serial killer, there isnu0026#39;t much of a plot here. this however doesnu0026#39;t detract from the film it really just strengthens it. you feel far more immersed in the character and his thoughts because there is no plot for you to pay attention to. this makes for a very real and in depth character study about a mentally unstable man. topped off by excellent casting and acting. All thatu0026#39;s left for me to say is, go watch it. You will not be disappointed!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe verdict: 10/10 a perfectly disturbing masterpiece”
