Crime suspense movies have always been the favorite theme of fans, among which Germany is the best country in the field of crime movies.
Germany has made many wonderful films, but because of its unclear concept of foreign films, many of them are regarded as American films, such as "Eavesdropping Storm" and "Lola Run".

After one day’s work, she turned back to get the props that had fallen back at the shooting scene, but she was locked in the studio. Bored, she wandered around and accidentally broke into the shooting scene of a pornographic film.
In a blink of an eye, pornography became horrible, the actress was killed alive, and the lens in the hands of the murderer took this scene truthfully.
Billie called the police, but the police came to search but found nothing. The murderer insisted that Billie, who was frightened, regarded the fake play as real.
It turns out that the murderer is a member of the Russian Mafia, who specializes in shooting such real violent movies to meet the special needs of customers.
