Angel Maker review

The Angel Maker – Stefan Brijs

Country Doctor Karl Hoppe’s son Victor arrives back in his home village of Wolfheim to restart his father’s shuttered practice. With him come his three infant sons. He soon gains the villagers’ trust despite his abrupt manner and on the surface everything is normal. But underneath….

The villagers start asking questions. Where is the triplets’ mother? Why don’t any of the villagers see or hear the boys. Why did Dr Hoppe give up a massive genetic research grant at the University of Aachen to become a simple country Doctor.

Victor has a terrible secret, one forged by the fire and brimstone religion of his upbringing. He believes that Jesus is good and that God is full of wrath and vengeance and therefore evil.

And Victor wants to beat God at his own game.

Brijs instills just the right amount of creepy unease into this modern day horror story.
