== Plot == The film opens with a point-of-view shot, as a murderer surveys Amsterdam's canals at night. He slips into the back of a Chinese restaurant, steals a butcher's knife, and stalks his first victim, a prostitute. After she fights off a cab driver, the killer stabs her and drags her body into the water, watched by a bag lady. The next morning, a tour boat collides with her corpse, horrifying the passengers.
