"Unter dem Eis", or "Under The Ice" is a disturbing psycho thriller from Germany that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The director is obviously inspired by the works of Michael Hanneke in Funny Games and Benny's video. The story evolves around a mother who discovers that her young son has killed his playmate. Oblivious to the signs that there is something fundamentally wrong with her child she gives in to her motherly instinct. She does everything in her power to protect her child and hide the truth from everyone, including her husband who happens to be the investigating officer. Strong cast, chilling story. The film is very powerful and feels shockingly real. Michael Hanneke must be proud. If you like his work, you'll love this movie.
