9) The Tenderness of Wolves (1973)
Trending
The movie was loosely based on Fritz Haarmann, known as the "Butcher of Hanover," and this was an adaptation of the Friedrich Dürrenmatt novel. Haarmann was a German serial killer who preyed on young men in the 1920s. Psychologically, the killer's mind was the focus that this director, Ulli Lommel, made so chillingly performed by Kurt Raab. Its style is very minimalistic yet darkly contrasted; hence, it is striking as an exploration of evil. Its controversial themes and disturbing imagery provoked debates when the film came out.
