Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With middling reviews (62% on Rotten Tomatoes) and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Great for fans of medical drama and anyone who loves trying to stay one step ahead. Life-and-death stakes, often at a run. A good follow-up to The Invisible Man or Deep Water.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 43 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: meant for adults.
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.

Medical student Paula wins a place at an exclusive Heidelberg medical school. When the body of a young man she met on the train turns up on her dissection table, she begins to investigate the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death.
