My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done?

My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done? is a film directed by Werner Herzog and produced by David Lynch, inspired by the story of murderer Mark Yavorsky. Herzog describes the film as "a horror film without the blood, chainsaws and gore, but with a strange, anonymous fear creeping up in you."

The film begins with Detective Havenhurst (Willem Dafoe) driving with his partner Detective Vargas (Michael Peña). They receive a call and drive to the scene of a murder. As they push their way through the crowd at the crime scene, they see Brad McCullum (Michael Shannon) leaving with a coffee cup. Inside the house, the detectives find the body of Mrs. McCullum (Grace Zabriskie), who has just been stabbed with an antique sword. At the scene are the neighbors and chief witnesses, Mrs. and Miss Roberts. The detectives soon realize that they had just seen the murderer leaving the scene.

Music from Dutch composer Ernst Reijseger.
