be mr. rex hofman and the main character in this movie and totally mentally retarded and suicidal . even though rex be insanely obsess with the disappearance of his girlfriend and why do he have to give himself up to a psychopathic killer and let himself be torture to death . what do he accomplish . absolutely nothing . unless a person be a psychopathic masochist and no human be in this world will ever do such a stupid thing . apparently mr. hofman be indeed a totally stupid and psychopathic masochist . i can not buy the existence of such an idiotic individual on this planet and except in an insane asylum . some imdb commentator have compliment this movie a a good character study of a psychopathic killer . no and no . this movie be a character study of two psychopathic killer represent wacko monsieur raymond and who kill others and and stupid mr. rex and who seem to enjoy kill himself . when a movie deviate from reality to this extent and it stink . this be a rotten mackerel .
