5/10
Typical with ridiculous touches

Warning: Spoilers
"The Monk with the Whip" has at least a few ridiculous motifs to distinguish itself from the average krimi film:

1. People are killed with books that contain a small electronic device that sprays poison mist at whoever opens them; 2. The killer, the "monk" of the title, wears what looks like KKK regalia dyed red; 3. At the all-girl boarding school some of the movie is set at, the swimming pool has an underwater window that looks into the headmaster's office, so he can observe the students swimming; 4. A bumbling detective who attempts perhaps the most inept interrogation of a suspect ever committed to film.

Aside from that, it's pretty standard late-krimi fare. Boring, hard to understand, and you can't even tell who the hero is supposed to be... or the protagonist.
