Cut Off

Cut Off

Trapped on a lonely island with a killer, artist Linda has to perform an autopsy: only if she finds the clue hidden inside the dead body, the kidnapped daughter of coroner Herzfeld can possibly be saved.

A nerve-wracking psychothriller based on the international best-seller by Sebastian Fitzek, whose work has been translated into 24 languages. Genre expert Christian Alvart ("Pandorum", "Antibodies", "Nick: Off Duty") helms this gripping thriller in spectacular locations with a stellar cast: Moritz Bleibtreu ("The Baader Meinhof Complex", "Run Lola Run"), Jasna Fritzi Bauer ("Barbara"), Lars Eidinger ("Clouds of Sils Maria", "Everyone Else") and FahriYardim ("Almanya: Welcome to Germany", "Nick: Off Duty").

Filmstarts

“It’s an entertaining and intense film that some might find way too pitch black and harsh to enjoy, but I thought it was very good indeed. Sure, “enjoy” might not be the best word to use when dealing with the themes that this film deals with, but it was certainly a memorable and exciting ride.”
Nerdly

„Cut Off mixes some improbable elements with a great cast and a keen eye for the cinematic. It’s a cracking crime caper that will leave you considering some unsettling questions in quiet moments afterwards.“
