23 minutes, one trailer, zero survivors. German horror doesn't mess around.
Jolene is supposed to please a customer in her trailer - a somewhat cocky man who is accompanied by an Asian man. But while the suitor is having fun with Jolene, the Asian slits his throat. When Jolene's pimp bursts into the scene, the situation escalates completely.
Practical Effects

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Tim Dünschede made this as a film school project, which explains the 'let's see what we can get away with' energy.
The casting of Yusuke Yamasaki as the silent assassin plays into uncomfortable 'inscrutable Asian killer' tropes that German indie horror apparently didn't question in 2015.
