THE TREATMENT, based on the best-selling novel by
British writer Mo Hayder, is a troubling, involving and very dark police
thriller about a cop bent on solving a series of mysterious kidnappings and
killings. If you thought "American Crime" and "The Wire"
were intense, you better get prepared for a story much more shocking. After the
film premiered at Fantastic Fest, WeGotThisCovered.com wrote,
"THE TREATMENT is exactly that kind of harrowing, haunting filmmaking that
elevates typical crime-drama storytelling into realms we'd probably be better
off never exploring, yet filmmaker Hans Herbots ensures you'll be glued to your
seat whether you like it or not."

Synopsis:
THE TREATMENT is an unsettling Belgian murder mystery that gets under your
skin and stays there. A nail-biting suspense yarn based on one of a series of
best-selling novels by British crime writer Mo Hayder, the film is not an
old-fashioned Agatha Christie-type whodunit, but its gritty themes of sexual
violence and pedophilia give it a raw, contemporary intensity that places it in
the same company as the “Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” book and film series.
Police inspector Nick Cafmeyer is investigating a case where a mother and
father have been bound and beaten, and their young son is missing. An obsessive
loner, Cafmeyer discovers that there are other similar cases – tragedies where
the parents were forced by a psychopath to harm their own children, who then
vanish. For the inspector, this triggers memories of his own brother’s
abduction as a child, and the possibility that he may still be alive somewhere.
Grim and wholly engrossing, THE TREATMENT is a thriller with an edge.
