The treatment [videorecording] / by Bouckaert, Peter,film producer.; Geerts, Ina,actor.; Herbots, Hans,film director.; Joos, Carl,screenwriter.; Van Rampelberg, Geert,actor.; Verlinden, Laura,actor.; Motion picture adaptation of (work):Hayder, Mo.Treatment.Videorecording.; Artsploitation Films (Firm),publisher.; Eyeworks Film,production company.;
Geert Van Rampelberg, Ina Geerts, Johan van Assche, Laura Verlinden, Dominique Van Malder.The Treatment is an unsettling Belgian murder mystery that gets under your skin and stays there. A nail-biting suspense yarn based on one of a series of best-selling novels by British crime writer Mo Hayder, the film is not an old-fashioned Agatha Christie-type whodunit, but rather its gritty themes of sexual violence and pedophilia give it a raw, contemporary intensity that places it in the same company as the ' Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' book and film series. Police inspector Nick Cafmeyer is investigating a case where a mother and father have been bound and beaten, and their young son is missing. An obsessive loner, Cafmeyer discovers that there are other similar cases - tragedies where the parents were forced by a psychopath to harm their own children, who then vanish. For the inspector, this triggers memories of his own brother's abduction as a child, and the possibility that he may still be alive somewhere.14A.DVD ; widescreen presentation ; Dolby Digital 5.1.
