I came here because this is a remake of the story in [REL] Es geschah am hellichten Tag (1958), and that was a pretty terrific movie. I liked this one quite a bit also. The villain here is quite a bit creepier, and the supposed hero even more disturbingly obsessive. It still does not have the story ending envisioned by the writer, but this one concludes in a different way than the 1958 movie that I find quite satisfying in a different way. (No spoilers!) Some of the plot developments might not hold up to scrutiny in "the cold light of day", but I did not want to overthink it when I was enjoying it so much.
I was hoping to dig up a HD version somewhere, but I failed. On eMule I found a 576p version that is probably a small improvement over loverboy's AVI. The same newer file is available with a different name at ulozto: https://ulozto.net/file/UaLSwp0VKkMB/th ... AKnwuyZN==

I could not find any English subtitles, which might have helped me with some of the British accents. However, there are GERMAN SDH and SPANISH subtitles for it. It appears the German subtitles are sourced from a dubbed version.
