The Columnist trailer: Katja Herbers stars in Dutch revenge thriller

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Katja Herbers of the TV shows Westworld and Evil is out for bloody vengeance in director Ivo van Aart's Dutch revenge thriller The Columnist, which is coming to the U.S. on May 7th. The film is getting a virtual cinema and VOD release courtesy of Film Movement.

Written by Daan Windhorst, The Columnist has the following synopsis: 

Newspaper columnist and author Femke Boot (Katja Herbers) is suffering from writers' block, and her mood isn’t improved by the torrent of abuse and death threats she receives daily on social media. When she discovers that her obnoxious, loud neighbour is one of the anonymous people posting vile comments, she snaps and takes matters into her own hands. As she finds herself able to write again, she sets out on a mission – track down the trolls and deliver some swift, polite and deadly vengeance.

Herbers is joined in the cast by Genio de Groot, Rein Hofman, Bram van der Kelen, and Achraf Koutet.

Judging by the trailer, The Columnist looks like it's going to be quite entertaining, so I'm glad the U.S. release date isn't far off.
