Amoklauf (English: "Rampage") is a 1994 German horror film[2] written and directed by Uwe Boll.[3] Boll's third feature, it established a number of directorial trademarks that would recur throughout the filmmaker's career, such as a scene involving a mass shooting, and a premise that revolves around "psychologically disturbed men and intersecting systems of oppression conspiring to unleash the violent potential within them."[4]
