“The Calendar Killer” (2025), directed by Adolfo J. Kolmerer, is a German psychological thriller that delves into themes of domestic abuse and personal torment. The narrative centers on Klara (Luise Heyer), who receives a chilling ultimatum from a serial killer: she must kill her abusive husband, Martin (Friedrich Mücke), by midnight to save her own life. In desperation, Klara contacts a helpline and connects with Jules (Sabin Tambrea), an operator who becomes her lifeline as he attempts to guide her to safety. The film intertwines their present ordeal with flashbacks, revealing the traumas that haunt both characters. Critics have noted that while the movie offers a poignant exploration of its characters’ struggles, it is marred by a relentlessly grim tone and certain narrative inconsistencies.
