Angst 4K Ultra HD brings Gerald Kargl’s infamous horror landmark to life in a stunning Dolby Vision presentation, restoring one of the most harrowing and influential serial killer films ever made. Based on the true crimes of Werner Kniesek, ANGST is a relentless descent into psychological collapse, renowned for its groundbreaking camera work and suffocating intensity.
 
Recently released from prison for murder, a disturbed man known only as “K” quickly finds himself unable to suppress his violent compulsions. What follows is a clinical, nerve-shredding spiral into brutality set against the quiet isolation of rural Austria. Driven by Erwin Leder’s unforgettable performance and Zbigniew Rybczynski’s invasive, restless cinematography, ANGST places viewers uncomfortably inside the mind of a killer. Its stylistic daring would go on to influence filmmakers including Gaspar Noé, cementing its status as a transgressive masterpiece of European horror.
 
This 2-disc 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray edition features the film in Dolby Vision along with extensive newly produced interviews and archival material exploring its legacy and craft.
