Christian Alvart did it again!, 27 July 2008
Author: thor-131 from Germany

When Christian Alvart invited me to join "Kinowelt's" producer Boris Schoenfelder for a sneak-preview, I wasn't sure what to expect. Christians reputation as shooting star among young German directors raised high expectations and secret fears... Could he come up with something even more chilling than "Antikoerper"? After 15 minutes I was ready to climb U N D E R my seat. This is one of the most scary movies I've ever seen and by the way - a film that is a typical Alvart-borderline-case, oczillating between crime, suspense and horror. Brilliant actors, great dialogue, not to mention the shock effects... In the age of trans-generic movies Christian's work deserves to be called outstanding. If CASE 39 comes to your town, don't miss it: It's a case you will remember for a lifetime!
