The premise

Inspired by true events from the 1970s, the story revolves around a young detective who becomes the head of a police unit focused on catching a rampant serial killer of women, nicknamed 'The Silesian Vampire'.

Horror Vault's take

Set in 1970s communist Poland, this true-crime thriller follows an ambitious young detective thrust into leading a high-stakes manhunt for a serial killer preying on women and dubbed 'The Silesian Vampire' by a gripped public. As pressure mounts from superiors and the media alike, the investigation becomes as much a test of the detective's integrity as it is a race to stop a killer. The oppressive institutional climate of the era looms over every decision, where careers are built — and destroyed — on the outcome of a single case. A chilling portrait of how justice can be bent by power, ambition, and fear.
