If 8MM hit the spot, these will too

Joel Schumacher directing both, with the same fingerprints on each
The difference: None of the melancholy 8MM is built on

The same two preoccupations: grief, and the investigation
The difference: Critics rated this one higher still

Both rooted in New York City
The difference: Missing the romance of 8MM

The same preoccupation in both: grief
The difference: Leans harder into drama than 8MM does

The same mix in both: tension, then grit
The difference: Made in the 2020s, in a different era of the craft

Both keep coming back to the same thing: obsession
The difference: Sits closer to horror than 8MM does

The same hand behind both of them: Joel Schumacher

Twisty where it counts, melancholy underneath

Romantic thriller, and it commits to that

Crime with a pulse of tension, in both cases


Both lean on grit more than on mystery
In the mood for more tense?
