Grim and unpleasant, which is par for the course when looking at the horror films Germany produced around that time. The film isn't scary or extremely gory (though still not for the faint of heart), it's the lack of emotion and the coldness of the lead character that make this a true horror film.
The presentation is a little basic, but the dreary colors and grainy look are perfect for the subject matter. The actors are decent enough, the special effects are a little iffy, but they do the job, and the film is short and to the point, so there's hardly any filler. This was better than expected, but I did start with rather low expectations.
