A teacher by the name of Andrej Evilenko (played by Malcolm McDowell) is fired after he tried to rape one of his young students. This first scene is truly unsettling and shocking. From there is gets worse when this communist man decides he likes to kill. Mr. McDowell does an excellent, creepy job as a real life serial killer. Now, that being said, I'm not all sure how much of the story is actually real. Its pretty believable though. All this being said, everyone who took part in the movie was great, and the acting was well done. The movie as a whole is good, but also a little too much (well, maybe not to some viewers). The movie is quit graphic and intense, but not to gratuitous so that is good. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in the story, or anyone in the cast. Other than that though, I'd say its up to whoever if they really wanna see it. I rate this 7/10 (mainly for the superb acting). (my rating) Rated R for disturbing and aberrant violent and sexual content, nudity and some language
