In , as graduate student Katie Armstrong researches cannibal killer Oliver Hagen for her thesis, she becomes obsessed with her subject and ultimately plunges into a lifestyle similar to Hagen’s and the thousands of people like him.

“u0026quot;Rohtenburgu0026quot; by Martin Weisz is based on a true crime case of German cannibal Armin Meiwes,who butchered and cannibalized computer programmer Bernd-Jurgen Brandes after putting on necrobabes.com an ment u0026quot;Iu0026#39;m looking for a normally built young man between 18 and 25 years for a real slaughter and consumptionu0026quot;.It was ultimately banned in due to a lawsuit in which Meiwes successfully argued that the film slandered his deeds and made him look bad.As a person who is really interested in the darkest human deeds I had to watch it.The performances by Thomas Huber as Simon and particularly Thomas Kretschmann as Oliver are very strong,but the film lacks gore and horrifying images of u0026quot;Cannibalu0026quot;.I also think that Keri Russelu0026#39;s character is completely bland and unnecessary.The film would be better without it.Overall,this film left me a little bit disappointed.Check out Marian Dorau0026#39;s u0026quot;Cannibalu0026quot; or horrifying documentary u0026quot;The Man Who Ate His Loveru0026quot; for much better understanding of this fascinating case.”
