Synopsis

Five camping youths see at night a ghostly woman, which leads them to the castle of Count Kaunitz, in what will reveal itself to be a gruesome trap.

Our take

Renown for his provocative experimental form—for which he developed his own singular trashy, kitsch aesthetics—the cinema of German filmmaker Christoph Schlingensief is undoubtedly one of a kind. Made when he was just 15 years old, this 8mm crime short was a promising glimpse of what was to come.
