About Schwarzach 23 und der Schädel des Saatan
When the head of Herbi Zidinger is discovered on the head of a scarecrow, Chief Inspector Franz Germinger Jr. is immediately on the scene. His sister discovered the skull, so Germinger Senior quickly learns about the murder and, as usual, gets involved in his son's investigation. The father-son team soon have three suspects.
Directed by Matthias Tiefenbacher, Schwarzach 23 und der Schädel des Saatan leans on a strong ensemble — Maximilian Brückner, Friedrich von Thun, Marlene Morreis — 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 crime titles of 2018.
