In US theaters from September 8th, Dark Star Pictures presents Karim Ouelhaj’s Megalomaniac. Starring Eline Schumacher, Wim Willaert, Benjamin Ramon, Pierre Nisse, and Raphaëlle Lubansu, the film is a dramatic horror thriller based on the true story of the unsolved murders that occurred near the city of Mons in Belgium.
Martha and Félix are the children of the Butcher of Mons, a notorious Belgian serial killer from the 1990s. Unstable and riddled with insecurities, Martha lives vicariously through social media. Her brother, crushed by the family legacy, takes over their father’s killings. Harassed and violently assaulted at work, the docile Martha falls into madness and goes through the looking glass into the strange and terrifying world inhabited by her brother. This film is not for the fainthearted. Quite disturbing, it profoundly exhibits the power of filmmaking and serves die-hard horror fans well with an arresting plot, seasoned acting, and emotional pull. Most definitely one for the horror collection.
Movie Rating: 4 stars.
