The Calendar Killer

The Calendar Killer (Sebastian Fitzeks Der Heimweg, 2025) is a German thriller adapted from Sebastian Fitzek's novel that you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Adolfo J. Kolmerer, the film takes place over a single night: a woman named Klara phones a late-night safety helpline and tells the operator she has been given a choice — kill her husband before dawn, or die herself.

Jules picks up the call at the start of his shift. Friedrich Mücke and Luise Heyer carry the tension across a story that runs almost entirely on voice and clock: no car chases, just a narrowing window and an impossible decision. Sabin Tambrea as the husband keeps the moral ground shifting — it's not always clear who the real threat is.

Fitzek is Germany's bestselling psychological thriller writer, with tens of millions of copies in print. The adaptation preserves the suffocating real-time pressure of the source material. Stream The Calendar Killer (2025) online on iFILM.
