Megalomaniac

Megalomaniac questions the line between victim and executioner and how it is crossed. How evil can be inherited, whether one accepts it or not.

Martha and Félix are the two children of the “Butcher of Mons”, a notorious serial killer in Belgium in the 90s. Unstable and insecure, Martha lives her life through social media, while her brother, weighed down by their family’s terrible legacy, begins his own path as a murderer. When Martha is harassed and violently attacked at work, the once docile woman begins to descend into madness herself, entering the strange and terrifying world her brother already finds himself in.

Megalomaniac is based on true events. The film had its world premiere at the 2022 Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal where it won the award for Best Film: Le Cheval Noir.
