“Kinderfanger” (** out of four) was a strenuously uneven horror thriller about a teacher (Oliver Theory) who realizes that many of her students are disappearing and she realizes she will have to battle the various demons from her own past against a mystical child abductor (Dmitrious Bistrevsky) to solve the mystery of what’s really going on in her small town. First-half is sluggish and hokey but second half does gradually build some tension and mood and delivers a few scares. Promising directorial debut from noted cinematographer Bridger Nelson.
