WTFilms Posts Deals On Fabrice du Welz’s Belgian Marc Dutroux Pedophile Thriller ‘Maldoror’ Ahead Of Release In Belgium

EXCLUSIVE: WTFilms has unveiled a slew of deals on Fabrice du Welz ’s thriller Maldoror, inspired by the 1990s case of infamous Belgian pedophile and serial killer Marc Dutroux, as the movie releases in France ahead of its theatrical launch in Belgium next week. The thriller is inspired by the botched investigation into infamous Belgian pedophile Marc Dutroux who abducted six young girls between June 1995 and August 1996, and then imprisoned them in the basement of his house in the former coal-mining town of Marcinelle, on the outskirts of Charleroi. The real-life Marc Dutroux case is viewed as a dark chapter in recent Belgian history with public anger over the botched investigation leading to street demonstrations and a constitutional crisis at the time.
