FILM 1518: THE CONFESSIONS OF
THOMAS QUICK
This chilling film tells the
gripping story of the making of a modern Swedish serial killer - taking us to
the very heart of events that terrified a nation. Horrific and intriguing in
equal measure, this is real Scandinavian noir, a dark tale of murder and lies.
In a high-security psychiatric institute sits Thomas Quick, Sweden's most notorious
serial killer. A misfit loner who openly confessed to a range of unspeakable
crimes including rape, murder and cannibalisation, Quick's story has shocked
and haunted the Swedish nation for over 20 years. However, new evidence
including testimony from the man himself has taken this terrifying story in an
even more disturbing direction. With full access to Quick and those around him,
this real life thriller unravels the truth behind a self-confessed serial
killer and uncovers a dark tale of murder and lies. The film examines the
shocking revelations that were at the centre of this horrifying case; not only
what happened but the major impact it has had on both those directly involved
as well as the wider community. Looking at what would drive a man to commit
such terrible crimes, the film also asks the question of how a monster such as
Thomas Quick could have evolved and what contributed to his creation. Not for
the faint of heart, the journey to the ultimate truth behind what happened is a
tense, twisted odyssey that has forced a nation to come to terms with series of
nightmarish crimes that have haunted their society for decades.
