About Der Amokläufer - Aus Spiel wird Ernst
Maren Hilbert is the new teacher at the private elite school Sophienbund. She soon realizes that the school, which looks so perfect on the outside, is in a pretty bad state on the inside. When a killing spree is announced, Maren knows she has to act. But neither the principal nor her colleagues take the threatening emails or Maren seriously, only police officer Niklas Götz (39), the father of one of her pupils, supports her in her research. Maren is certain: the potential killer is a boy from her class and he is serious. A race against time begins.
Directed by Oliver Dommenget, Der Amokläufer - Aus Spiel wird Ernst leans on a strong ensemble — Anja Kling, Proschat Madani, Thure Riefenstein — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 2008.
