If The Cremator hit the spot, these will too

Contemplative and gritty in the same breath
The difference: Not nearly as dread-soaked as The Cremator

Both land wit and play at once
The difference: A 2010s film, from a different era of filmmaking

Drama with a pulse of stillness, in both cases

Gritty crime in both cases

Comedy built on wit, twice over
The difference: Reviewed a good deal more coolly

Playful horror, and it commits to that

The same mix in both: dread, then unease

Both built around dark comedy
The difference: Leans romance where The Cremator does not

Both trade on dread more than on being horror
The difference: Plays it as science fiction more than The Cremator does

Comedy built on unease, twice over

Both keep circling back to dark comedy

Both trade on dread more than on being drama
In the mood for more dread?
