If you loved Die Hölle, try Der Schlachter
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Claude Chabrol, and they both carry the dread, paranoid mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Die Hölle, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Der Schlachter is
A Parisian suburb in the damp tail-end of winter, the butcher’s chilled steel cleaver ringing one more time. An unassuming butcher shares a nightly table with a prim schoolteacher while above their street a blade cuts loose. Claude Chabrol’s crime-classic sharpens tension like the honed edge it hides.
