Todella tiivistunnelmainen, kuumeinen ja häiriintynyt teos, joka ei kuitenkaan missään vaiheessa tulvi yli äyräiden tai ammu överiksi, vaan pysyy aivan jäätävän vertahyytävän kuumottavana koko pituutensa ajan.

"Gerald Kargl’s Angst is a 75-minute cinematic panic attack. Body-mounted cameras, high-angle tracking shots, amplified sound design, and a bone-chilling krautrock score swirl together to create a manic, propulsive energy that’s as disorienting to the viewer as the implacable urge to kill is for Erwin Leder’s unnamed psychopath. Angst elides all psychological trappings, instead tapping directly into this all-consuming desire for destruction on a purely physiological and experiential level. "

"4.8, PC Tuo vahvasti mieleen Funny Gamesin, joskin Angstin psykopaatti on aivan omaa luokkaansa. Erwin Lederin esittämä tappaja kulkee ympäriinsä kuin eläin kiimassa etsien seuraavaa uhria, ja hahmon mielihalut ovat kovin häiriintyneitä, mutta toisaalta kaveri on niin riutuneen ja heikon näköinen että vähän käy sääliksi. Lisäksi kameratyöskentely on erittäin nättiä katseltavaa."
