Gerard Reve (Jeroen Krabbé) is a controversial alcoholic novelist who claims his stories "lie the truth". But when he is seduced by sexy widow Christine (Renèe Soutendijk), Gerard finds himself trapped in a nightmare of blasphemy, bloodshed and bisexual desire. Has Christine brutally murdered her previous three husbands or is Gerard only hallucinating his horrific fate as THE FOURTH MAN?
Part savage horror thriller, part outrageous black comedy, this acclaimed erotic shocker was the final Dutch-language film directed by Paul Verhoeven (BASIC INSTINCT, ROBOCOP, TOTAL RECALL, BLACK BOOK) and features stunning cinematography by Jan de Bont (director of SPEED and TWISTER).
