If Seconds hit the spot, these will too

Both keep coming back to the same thing: black and white

Common ground: black and white

Cerebral and dread-soaked in the same breath
The difference: Easier on the tension than Seconds

Both land tension and unease at once

Cerebral science fiction, and it commits to that

Horror built on dread, twice over
The difference: Sits closer to drama than Seconds does

Both lean on unease more than on thriller
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Science fiction with a pulse of tension, in both cases
The difference: Made in the 2020s, in a different era of the craft

Cerebral horror in both cases

Tense thriller in both cases

Dread-soaked science fiction, and it commits to that

Unsettling horror, and it commits to that
In the mood for more cerebral?
