Rating: 5 (2 reviews)

When a series of films showing a woman being watched through her window reach the National Criminal Investigation Department in Stockholm, the police dismiss them as insignificant. Within days, the woman is found murdered in her home, and subsequent videos bring new, equally heinous scenes to light. The case that emerges is one of psychological terror and investigative frustration: a husband grapples with trauma and amnesia, a criminal psychiatrist’s hypnotic sessions reveal unsettling truths, and a missing detective’s absence casts a deeper shadow over the hunt. As the city spirals into fear, authorities race to identify the unseen stalker before the next victim falls prey.
