Vampire(s) - Evil remembered, fear reborn

Set in 1920s Düsseldorf, this chilling documentary revisits the terror inflicted by Peter Kürten, known as "The Vampire," whose horrific crimes gripped the city in fear. His confessions, which later inspired the classic film M, continue to cast a haunting shadow over Düsseldorf's streets, sparking enduring questions about the nature of evil.

Through interviews, archival footage, and historical insights, the film delves into society's struggle to comprehend his actions, encapsulated in the refrain: "He is not human!"
