Amsterdamned

Watch Amsterdamned (1988) online on iFILM — a Dutch action-thriller directed by Dick Maas, starring Huub Stapel and Monique van de Ven. Something is killing people in Amsterdam's canals. A diver, no clear motive, almost no usable evidence. Detective Eric Visser pulls the case and quickly realizes the city's entire waterway network has become a perfect hiding place.

The murders grow more brazen. Panic spreads through city hall. Visser works the investigation with his partner, starts seeing a woman named Laura, and gradually notices that his own teenage daughter may have stumbled closer to the truth than anyone in the police department. The canal network is everywhere under Amsterdam, and so is the killer.

Maas funded one of the most expensive Dutch productions of its era to pull off a speedboat chase through central Amsterdam that still impresses on a practical level. Amsterdamned isn't straightforward slasher territory — it works as a proper procedural with a horror premise, the kind of film where the detective logic matters as much as the kills.
