Synopsis:

From IMDb: “The young Tore seeks in Hamburg a new life among the religious group called The Jesus Freaks. When he by accident meets a family and helps them to repair their car, he believes that a heavenly wonder has helped him. He starts a friendship with the father of the family, Benno. Soon he moves in with them at their garden plot, not knowing what cruelty is there to come. True to his religious belief he stays with them although the increasing violence by Benno is torturing him. Tore is fighting the torment with his own weapons. So a dangerous struggle between libidinous actions and altruism begins. Inspired by true events.”

Poster: C+ / C- / C

Review: A trio of uneventful posters for a foreign indie film seems a bit overkill, but the first is the English-language design. The second German and the third multi-lingual. They each display a different design aesthetic, which is important, though none of them particularly leap out at the viewer and demand their viewership.

Trailer: C-

Review: The horrors of psychosis and their impact on an innocent young man makes for an interesting subject, but the trailer does a poor job conveying the deep complexities of the story. It may grip the audience emotionally with the viciousness inflicted on the young man, its haphazard editing make it more difficult to watch than it’s worth.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
