De Terugtocht

Rob Van Eyck’s De Terugtocht (1981) is a bleak, unforgiving slice of Flemish cult cinema. The gritty revenge thriller follows a man returning to his hostile native village after serving seven years for a rape and murder he did not commit. Instead of a fresh start, he faces brutal social isolation and relentless torment from the locals. Driven to the edge, his quest to find the real killers spins out of control, trapping him in a tragic, inescapable cycle of violence.
