In a dimly lit interrogation room, Katurian, a writer of unsettling short stories, finds himself at the mercy of two detectives. His tales, dark and twisted, eerily mirror a series of gruesome child murders. As the line between fiction and reality blurs, Katurian must confront his past and the haunting stories that may have inspired real-life horrors. “The Pillowman” is a chilling exploration of storytelling, morality, and the shadows lurking within the human psyche.
