That is what it is about

Adam is a crime scene photographer and mentally at the end of his rope. Working on too many cases involving mutilated murder victims forces him to take time off. When Detective Man pays him a visit, alarm bells start ringing. A ritual killer is blazing a bloody trail through the city. The victims all bear the same injuries: Bite wounds on the neck and all blood vessels turned inside out. Is a vampire up to mischief? The trail leads to a tribe in the jungles of Borneo and to a suspect with a claw hand...

What you should know

Why this bomb of a serial killer flick hasn't made it to Germany so far is beyond comprehension. Dystopian city aesthetics, a chase in the rain like in SE7EN and creatively arranged kills like in TRUE DETECTIVE and HANNIBAL - if you can handle a surreal mixture of SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and Takashi Miike's ornithology with a spiritual mindfuck showdown, you shouldn't miss INTERCHANGE. BIRDMAN in Asian? Let yourself be surprised!

Direction

With his third feature film INTERCHANGE, Dain Said achieved his international breakthrough. Compared to its predecessor BUNOHAN, INTERCHANGE is far less unwieldy, but still as offbeat, unconventional and visually stunning. Focusing on the conflict between tradition and modernity, between spirituality and science, the Malaysian director created a digestible cocktail of thriller and mystery, of fantasy and noir with INTERCHANGE. Curious? Rightly so!
