A mysterious diver hiding in Amsterdam's canal system embarks on a rampage of gruesome murders.
Terrifying city officials and leaving few clues for the city's best detective, who doesn't suspect that both his new girlfriend and twelve-year-old daughter may be closer than he is to finding the killer..
An absolute hoot from beginning to end, the fact that this film is so full of humour, despite the bad script, makes this a curious watch.
It's a typical eighties film, we start with the hero, sporting a hangover and a mullet whilst in the bath, getting alerted to the first murder, only to apprehend a robber in the bakery and then giving a payoff one-liner.
He finds the first body, gives a one-liner and starts his investigation proper. We are given a few red herrings along the way as to who the murderer is, but the story and the narrative, make it a little hard to understand what is going on.
It's part slasher, part horror, part crime, part comedy, and it all works in a random way.
The cast are good, but a lot of the support tend to overact, and the main speed boat chase isn't just the longest one in history, it's the single funniest action set piece i have ever seen.
Throw in a random sex scene, with some extremely questionable noise coming from the fairer of the two, Riffs on Jaws and Friday the 13th, then you have one weird entertaining film.
It's the best Dutch film about a disfigured deep sea diving killer in the world ever.
