During the 1980s, Soviet authorities hunt for a serial killer who picks his victims in railway stations and commuter trains and lures them into the woods. Based on the true story of a Russian serial killer who, over many years, claimed victim to over 50 people. His victims were mostly under the age of 17. In what was then a communists state, the police investigations were hampered by bureaucracy, incompetence and those in power. The story is told from the viewpoint of the detective in charge of the case.

Movie Parental Guide

nudity There is a lot of talk about how the murderer sexually abused his victims before and/or after they were murdered. There is also talk about how he masturbated while killing them, often achieving orgasm. There is a scene showing the murderer having sexual relations with his wife, although no nudity is visible. [0:39:03-23] A man has sex with a woman who is not his wife. He is shown on top of her; no nudity. [0:40:26-41] A man pulls his pants down, his butt briefly visible. [1:25:09]
violence The murderer kills several persons with a blow to the back of the head, shown from the murder's point of view. Several victims are shown with close up to the face, apparently dead and blood splattered. The murderer knocks a young woman to the ground and begins to stab her in the chest and abdomin fiercely, there is bloodspray - this scene is very violent and realistic. In another scene the murderer has blood around his mouth from biting a victim.
profanity There is some swearing including the use of the "f-word" when the murderer is challenged by his manager as to why he failed to carry out some work.
alcohol Characters drink and smoke throughout the movie.
frightening Because the murderer targets children, all scenes involving him "hunting" are intense. Another scene shows a prisoner who has hanged himself.
