Angst (1983)
A man is released from prison after serving four years for murdering an elderly woman. He quickly begins to feel the compulsion to kill again. After failing to murder a cab driver, he flees and discovers a secluded rural home, where a young woman lives with her sick mother and retarded brother. He then begins to take out his sadistic pleasures on them, attempting to hold them hostage, while thinking of his troubled childhood with his abusive mother and grandmother... (imdb)

Wow!! Don't know how I missed this one. Maybe since it's foreign, obscure and was banned in Europe. Excellent horror/thriller. Similar to Halloween, the cinematography and music elevated it to the highest level. The lead actor is great as well.

Based on Peter Kürten (one of the inspirations of M) as much as on Werner Kniesek, this seems less about the killer's angst than about his energy and excitement, which are conveyed very effectively via a camera that mostly stays very closely and tightly focused on the protagonist, or expressionistically shows his perspective, but at other times rises very high above the human figures, as if to emphasise the absurdity of the movements and actions we undertake for our own all-consuming purposes.

As a portrait of a serial killer movie Angst follows an unusual way for storytelling. I cannot say it follows a subjective way but rather "intimate".

The ethereal synth choir score is so simple but so fantastic. I could listen to it all day. Kind of feels to me like a hybrid of Juraj Herz' 'The Cremator' and Andrzej Zulawski's 'Possession' so if you're a fan of either of those check this out and vise versa.

This movie definitely has an artistic value owing mostly to its unique cinematography. Overall directing may not be groundbreaking, still good though. It would have been great to apply such a skill to an actual story with actual points instead of making some weird, an hour long commentary on Austrian court system... if I got it right... if it even had any.

A ideia é chocar. Mas toda a execução é amadora. A narração e a câmera mais irritam do que ajudam.

Unique little film. The director does not shy away from empathizing with a sadistic killer; the score is well done, and the protagonist is very good.

Angst is meditation on the absurdity to exist as a human in this weird constellation called universe. In nature, there isn't such a thing called murder and murder is the junction point of nature and human culture: its like a vortex separating us from nature and each time one tries to be in 'absolute' unity with the other world as our character there, it should be a form of transgression. Besides, what a great camerawork! Miixture of sublime and painfully mundane. Salutations Kargl!

First of all kudos to Criticker for recommending me this movie. The music of this movie is really notable. Apart from what the summary and the genre already describes, this movie is really unconventional and unpredictable but engaging nonetheless. The camera work and the cinematography is also top notch. Few inconsistencies exist but they don't shadow the movie in any significant way. Check out the 86 minute uncut version.Sad to note that Gerald Kargl was a one film wonder.

cinematography and sound carry that certain unsettling 80s zombie movie vibe. there's unease to everything, and some of the imagery is flat out disturbing. however, it would've worked immensely better, if the killer's distinct modus operandi wasn't bordering on haphazard goofiness. also, that cute little dog, which was surely meant to contrast the mayhem, ended up being more of a distraction, almost a comic relief.

An interesting contrast to a film like Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer this is a close portrait of a man, recently released from jail, driven by an urge to kill. The way it's filmed is very effective at providing a sense of urgency and disorientation and the narration is not much of a barrier to the horror, but it's just not something I find interesting to watch.

"Angst" is right. This portrait of a serial killer is nowhere hear engaging as a certain Henry's, and the brutality shown is surprisingly tame for the era. Which is to say nothing of how it's presented, with an incredible performance by Erwin Leder as he narrates his deranged fantasies while accompanied by a pseudo-documentary real-time camera. Unfortunately he's marred by his own boilerplate abusive backstory, and there's no conflict between him and his victims. Hard to recommend to anyone.
