About Knochensplitter - The Dark Side of Switzerland
The story of a peasant family in Switzerland in the eighteenth century. The father plunges his family out of jealousy into ruin. The events are hardly noticed by the village population and so he can steal clean from the affair. Nevertheless, his crimes do not go unpunished.
Directed by Dominik Lienhard, Knochensplitter - The Dark Side of Switzerland leans on a strong ensemble — Thomas Wirth, Sina Bänziger, David Schussegger — 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 horror titles of 2004.
