	Movies - Butterfly: A Grimm Love Story

Butterfly: A Grimm Love Story is a psychological horror movie inspired by the Armin Meiwes cannibal murder case.

Keri Russell (Felicity) plays Katie Armstrong, an US-American student in Germany studying criminal psychology. She chooses a notorious subject for her thesis: the cannibal killer Oliver Hartwin (played by Thomas Kretschmann). Hartwin dreamed of eating a willing victim, and thanks to the internet, he was able to find a volunteer, Simon Grobeck (played by Thomas Huber).

The story is told in non-linear fashion as Katie researches these men and their pasts, and gradually begins to lose touch with reality herself. Events culminate in Katie's discovery of a snuff tape that documents the crime.

Butterfly: A Grimm Love Story was scheduled for release in Germany on March 9, 2006, where it is known as Rohtenburg. But in early March, the film was banned by the German courts. The film is directed by music-video specialist Martin Weisz and written by T.S. Faull. The producers made Igby Goes Down.
