Based on the shocking true story of the former Soviet Union's most notorious serial killer, this riveting, haunting film explores the mind of a true monster; a man who mutilated and devoured more than 50 children. For years, Andrei Evilenko (Malcolm McDowell, A Clockwork Orange, Gangster No. 1, TV's "Entourage") eluded the obsessive Detective Lesiev (Marton Csokas, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, xXx, Aeon Flux) and the psychiatric profiler Aron Richter (Ronald Pickup, The Chronicles of Narnia). Spurred on by his rabid fury at the gradual crumbling of his precious Soviet Union, Evilenko is a man who will live, die and kill as a communist. The haunting melodies of composer Angelo Badalamenti (Twin Peaks, Mulholland Drive) and writer-director David Grieco's stark imagination have created a portrait of a serial killer that will resound in the psyches of us all.

Never seen it but apparently it's one that Malcolm McDowell is particularly proud of, so I might blind-buy it.

The real serial killer is called Andrei Chikatilo. This movie is based off of him. Chikatilo is probably one of the most disturbing, evil, cruel, and demented people in history. Read more about him and you'll see why. I haven't seen "Evilenko", but I want to.

The HBO film about Chikatilo, Citizen X, is excellent.

Indeed. I met him earlier today, and when I asked him which of his more undersung films would he recommend, he suggested this one. I may also now pick this one up. His description of it sounded pretty interesting.
