I don't get it, what was in the box?
John Doe murdered his dogs and placed their severed heads inside the box, I think.
freedom
God
cheeseburger
marsellus wallace's soul
Wrath was inside the box. Morgan Freeman freed it.
It was huge for the time but desu pales in comparison to plenty of other thrillers before and since once the initial shock of the twist has worn off ~20 years later.
Insomnia would have been twice as good a thriller if they didn't spoil who plays the bad guy in the posters, trailers etc. and have his name in the opening credits. If you can avoid all that, the reveal (and the subsequent performance) is one of the actor in question's very best imo despite being a pretty understated film.
It ruined serial killer films for nearly a decade. And by ruining it I mean many shitty films copied it
Talking about the Nolan version btw, not the earlier Scandinavian original (I know it's supposed to be better than Nolan's, I just haven't gotten round to watching it yet so I can't form an opinion)
>basic and plebish
Is Kill List a thriller? Or just horror? Hard to tell with Ben Wheatley.
A lightbulb.
Envy.
Not really. It's just an average neo-noir with 90s EDGINESS masquaraded as psychological profoundness.
Just because you personally like a movie more does not make it more iconic.
Rear Window is my favourite thriller of all time. Raymond Burr's death stare is iconic.
>her head
>not their unborn fetus
wtf?
Best thriller of the 2010s, at the least, is Danny Boyle's "Trance" ("2013), for me. Nicely twists several subgenres of thriller- 80s erotic thriller, classic film noir, neo-noir, non-chronological psychological thriller) into one movie and doesn't pretend to be cleverer or more serious than it is. (At his best) Danny Boyle makes even disturbing subject matter somehow fun without cheapening it.
>Trance
that movie blew more than Chloƫ Sevigny
This was always my theory. He says it's her head, but the final subversion is that it's worse than that.
IIRC, they never advertised Kevin Spacy's role in the movie. In theaters, the audience was shocked to see him during the reveal scene.
Spacey wasn't even a name before seven and then in that one month he released Seven and Usual Suspects.
Seven is just a comfy thriller nothing more.
MoM is true serial killer KINO
why does this movie look so good? 99% of movies in 1995 and 1996 didnt look half this good
>spend years plotting the ultimate string of murders
>kidnap some dude and keep him prisoner for a year
>2/7 of your victims are some no name cop new to town and his wife you've never even met
that's what keeps this from being 10/10 for me. that and the NiN intro.
Bleach bypass. The silver in the film stock was not removed, which deepened the dark, shadowy images in the film.
what the fucks wrong with NIN?
NIN is kinda cringy but that intro song works
idk if this is true, and idk what some of that means, but it sounds informative and correct. thank u
they sound beyond outdated and fucking suck
I keep asking myself the same question
Bound looked good. Nice inventice camera shots too. The Hot Spot looked good too.
The 90s had some very good (and sexy) neo-noirs.
It was bad, but stylized and different enough for the time that it became a classic... but it is a bad movie.
Its pulpy shit Silence of Lambs ripoff but the ending section is good
>tfw you're the only one who loved Keanu's The Watcher
>based Spader playing Spader
>Rob Zombie soundtrack
>Keanu as a smart serial killer
I don't care what you all think, that movie rocks.
kino taste
It's elevated by extremely good performances and kinography, even if the writing's only 'pretty good.' Zoomers also have been tainted by all of the copycats, well executed twists were still pretty novel back in the day.
Fincher has never made a non-iconic crime thriller
Who's ready for thriller kino when Nolan's "Tenet" drops?

Filming car chase scenes with a 70mm IMAX camera strapped to the front of a helicopter. Hope he doesn't Twilight Zone himself and Hoytema.
panic room
Honestly an early CGI masterwork
