Emberi bestiák – Inside Serial Killers’ Minds
Date: 2026.02.28., 19:00. Venue: Balaton Theater, Main Theatre. Ticket: $15.30. Former top homicide detective Péter Doszpot and consulting psychologist Gábor Antal unpack who serial killers really are, what drives their brutal acts, and how psychopathy works—and whether it can be treated. They detail the investigative skills needed to catch them, where offenders slip up, and what protects the public. Through film clips and real case studies, they map how policing and psychology interlace across notorious Hungarian and international cases from the 20th century to today. Do childhood traumas make a serial killer? What does science say, and what do frontline lessons reveal? Two experts, two viewpoints—one unsettling, unmissable night.
