The premise

A hatter in a provincial town (Michel Serrault) leads the life of a respectable citizen but is in fact a serial murderer. The only person to suspect this is his neighbour the tailor (Charles Asnavour).

Horror Vault's take

Behind the quiet respectability of a provincial French town lurks a hatter whose carefully maintained facade conceals a chilling secret. Michel Serrault delivers a mesmerising performance as a man whose neighbours see only a pillar of the community — all except one. His tailor neighbour, played by Charles Aznavour, grows increasingly uneasy, caught between doubt and a dawning, dangerous certainty. What follows is a taut psychological duel between a killer at ease in plain sight and the one man who may see through him.
