10: Jaws 3-D

Year: 1983
Director: Joe Alves

Although this is one of the weaker entries in the Jaws franchise, Jaws 3-D makes it onto this list just for that memorable glass-breaking scene alone, and the impact it has had on pop culture. I mean, who can forget that cardboard-looking shark floating through the ocean? Dodgy special effects aside, the third Jaws entry is still a decent shark movie. Directed by Jaws’ production designer Joe Alves, Jaws 3-D follows a group of marine biologists attempting to capture a young great white shark, but they run into trouble when its angry mother comes looking for revenge. The movie differs from its predecessors in the fact that it steers away from the classic shark attack in the middle of the ocean scenario, and was perhaps ahead of its time in highlighting how theme parks such as SeaWorld may not be such a good⭕ idea.

Jaws 3-D is available to stream on Peacock in the US and on ITVX in the UK. For more movies about ferocious beasts, see our list of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best monster movies.

9. 47 Meters Down

Year: 2017
Director: Johannes Roberts

If 🥃you needed another reason not to go cage diving with sharks, this is it. Starr💧ing The Vampire Diaries' Claire Holt and Disney’s Rapunzel herself, Mandy Moore, 47 Meters Down follows two sisters whose vacation to Mexico turns into a trip from hell as they get stuck in a cage at the bottom of shark-infested waters. Not only does 47 Meters Down include some blood-pumping chase scenes and make you feel seriously claustrophobic, but the survival horror film also explores a highly relatable, strained sister dynamic between the two lead characters.

47 Meters Down is available to stream on Prime Video in the US and on Now in the UK. For more, see our list of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best thriller movies.

8. The Shallows

Year: 2016
Director: Jaume Collet-Serra

Next up is The Shallows, as it wouldn’t be right not to include this high-concept, one-woman (and a seagull) thriller on our best shark movies list. Starring A Simple Favor star Blake Lively, The Shallows follows a surfer who decides to escape her problems, and the recent death of her mother by heading to a secluded beach. But her surf sesh i🌳s cut short when she is suddenly attacked by a great white shark, leaving her stranded on a piece of reef far away from the shore. Differing from other shark attack movies such as Soul Surfer, this tense game of cat and mouse looks at how shark attack victims react to a brush with death in the moment, and what they will do to sur🐽vive.

The Shallows is available to stream on Starz in the US and on Netflix in the UK. For more movies led by girls as tough as the coral reef, check out our list of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:100 grꩵeatest femaleꦏ characters in movies.

7. The Reef

Year: 2010
Director: Andrew Traucki

So, we’ve looked at how sharks can attack in the water, in a cage, on a surfboard, but are we at least safe on a boat? No, it looks like we✅’re not, as the main characters in The Reef learned this the hard way. While sailing to Indonesia, a group of friends capsize, leaving them stranded in the ocean. Matters only get worse when they attempt to swim to land, attracting the attention of a huge great white shark. The Reef is one of the few true horror movies on this list and will have you hiding behind your blanket. What makes this 2010 flick even scarier is that it's inspired by the true story of Ray Boundy, who survived a shar🗹k attack when his boat capsized. Sadly, his friends were not so fortunate.

The Reef is available to stream on Philo in the US and on Shudder in the UK. For more, check out our list of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best horror movies.

6. Playing with Sharks

Year: 2021
Director: Sally Aitken

But sharks aren’t all bad, and in ♕real life, shark attacks are actually quite rare. It is no secret that sharks are one of the most misunderstood creatures on the planet, and that’s exactly what National Geographic’s award-winning documentary Playing With Sharks sets out to prove. Playing with Sharks celebrates underwater filmmaking pioneer and shark researcher Valerie Taylor, whose life's work has become the basis for much of what we know about sharks today. The documentary uses underwater archival footage, interviews, and input from Valerie herself to bring the ocean explorer’s work to the screen.

Playing With Sharks is available to stream on Disney Plus. For more, check out our list of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best movies on Disney Plus.

5. Deep Blue Sea

Year: 1999
Director: Renny Harlin

When you think of classic shark movies, you first think of Jaws. But a close second is Renny Harlin’s action-packed Deep Blue Sea. The 1999 film reintroduced the fear of the oceanic unknown to a🐷 whole new generation, without ever taking itself too seriously. The movie is set in a murky underwater facility where a team of scientists set out to conduct research on mako sharks to help fight Alzheimer's disease. But the experiment is cut short when multiple genetically engineered sharks revolt, setting their sights on the scientists themselves. Deep Blue Sea provided some of the most memorable shark sc🌞enes in movie history, such as Stellan Skarsgård’s hand being bitten off and Samuel L Jackson’s becoming a tasty afternoon snack for a great white.

Deep Blue Sea is available to stream on Netflix in the UK. For more, read our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Deep Blue Sea review.

4. Open Water

Year: 2003
Director: Chris Kentis

Now, we hope you weren’t planning on sleeping too soundly tonight, as we regret to inform you that No. 4 on our list is al𝓀so based on a true story. Released in 2003, Open Water follows a couple who get left behind on a scuba diving trip. With no boat, no way home, and energy running out, the duo’s fight for survival is made harder when they realize they are treading shark-infested waters. The film is loosely based on Tom and Eileen Lonergan’s real-life nightmare on the Great Barrier Reef in 1998. Open water also used real sharks, specifically Caribbean reef sharks, to achieve a greater sense of realism.

Open water is available to stream on FuboTV in the US. For more, read our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Open Water review.

3. Jaws 2

Year: 1978
Director: Jeannot Szwarc

It’s no surprise that yet another Jaws movie has made it onto this list, but we’re not covering the big kahuna yet. First comes the 1978 sequel, aptly nam🐻ed Jaws 2, which attempted to replicate the success of the first movie by returning to Amity Island years after the first set of horrific shark attacks. Although Jaws 2 doesn't quite live up to its predecessor (but let's be real, what does?), the sequel continues Police Chief Martin Brody and his family’s story. We just cannot believe that the locals of Amity didn’t believe Brody when he reported the shark attacks again. Short memory, much?

Jaws 2 is available to stream on Peacock in the US and on ITVX in the UK.

2. Dangerous Animals

Year: 2025
Director: Sean Byrne

The newest movie on this list is so fresh, it’s still out in c﷽inemas! But believe us when we tell you that it’s worth hitting pause on your summer vacation to go and see Dangerous Animals in theaters, as this is a shark horror movie like no other. Directed by The Devil’s Candy’s Sean Byrne, Dangerous Animals flips the shark horror genre on its head by swapping the typical gilled villain for a man. The movie follows nomad surfer Zephyr, who gets abducted by a shark-obsessed serial killer and held captive on his boat, where she must quickly work out her escape before it's too late.

Dangerous Animals is out in theaters now. For more, read our writer’s opinion piece on why Dangerous Animals is the perfect film to watch during the 50th anniversar𓄧y of Jaws.

1. Jaws

Year: 1975
Director: Steven Spielberg

What oth💜er movie did you expect to see in the top spot? Steven Spielberg’s trailblazing blockbuster hit screens in 1975 and changed audiences' perception of sharks forever. When a giant white shark fatally attacks sဣwimmers just off the coast of Amity Island, it's up to Sheriff Martin Brody, a marine biologist, and a local fisherman to hunt down the creature before it can claim too many victims. The movie gave us such iconic lines as: "You’re gonna need a bigger boat," and one of the biggest jump scares in shark movie history (see above). Jaws still remains the best shark movie, and has ingrained itself into pop culture for 50 years now.

Jaws is available to stream on Peacock in the US and on Prime Video in the UK. For more, read our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Jaws review.

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]> Simu Liu says he's "absol♊utely floored" after reading Death Stranding director Hideo Kojima's glowing review of his new underwater thriller Last Breath.

"It'🐟s an incredible honour to ღbe recognized by kojima-sama, one of the greatest visionaries the gaming medium has ever known," the Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings actor wrote, quote-tweeting Kojima, who admitted the movie made him "cry again and again". 

"I watched LAST BREATH (202💧5) on the plane. Based on a true story—a miraculous tale of a saturation diver accident during an undersea pipeline repair (there was a documentary version previously)," the rest of the original post read. "The film maintains an unrelenting sense of claustrophobia and oxygen-deprived tension throughout. Everyone who risks their life to save a fellow crewmate, without hesitation, is just so cool.

"Unknown to the world, there are unsung heroes out there who continue to work in dangerous conditions. Woody Harrelson was great, but it was Simu Liu—no superpowers, no kung fu—who truly captured what it means to be♚ humanly heroic."

Also starring The Meg's Cliff Curtis, The Witcher's MyAnna Buring, Peaky Blinders' Finn Cole, and Woody Harrelson, Last Breath was directed by Ale♕x Parkinson, from a script he co-wrote with Mitchell LaFort♛une and David Brooks. It's currently rated 79% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.

Given some of his previous reviews, it kind of stands to reason that Kojima rated Last Breath. The videogame designer has heaped praise on titles such as Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, A Quiet Place: Day One, Dune: Part Two, and Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning over the lꦫast year or so, so it✃'s safe to say he's a big fan of all things action and spectacle.

Just recently, Kojima revealed that h﷽is all-time favorite films are Taxi Driver, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Mad Max 2: The Road W🎉arrior, and Akira Kurosawa’s High and Low.

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]> Arnold Schwarzenegger has high hopes for Edgar Wright's new take on Ste🦂phen King classic The Running Man. So high, in fact, that he reckons The Last Night in Soho helmer's upcoming remake could wind up being "better🦩" than his 1987 adaptation.

In a 🃏new interview with , the Terminator star recall🍬ed the limitations they'd had when bringing King's dystopian novel to life for the first time almost 40 years ago, and how there were things he wishes they could've done differently.

"I love the idea that they're doing a sequel to Running Man, or a remake," Schwarzenegger said. "I don't know what it's going to be, but I mean, becaus♛e I always felt when we did Running Man, it felt like 'I think it would have been great if we would have been better prepared for this movie, if we would have had more money for this movie.' If we would [had] had... the visual effects, the te🌄chnology of visual effects that they have today. All of those things I wished after the movie came out, I felt like it could have been better.

"It was great, but it could have been better," he went on. "And I think that they have a gౠood chance now with the new Running Man to make it better. I hope, for their sake and for my sake, I hope that they will be successful."

Loosely based on King's 1982 novel of the same name, Schwarzenegger's The Running Man takes place between 2017 and 2019. Directed by Paul Michael Glaser, it follows Schwarzenegger's Ben Richards, a wrongly-convicted policeman who agrees to take part in a TV game show. Their objective? Battle killers in front of an audience. The prize? Fr👍eedom. 

As it stands, it's unclear how fa🅠ithful Wright's version will be to the source material, though we do know that it'll boast a star-studded cast lead by Glen Powell. Katy O'💧Brian, Colman Domingo, Lee Pace, Daniel Ezra, Emilia Jones, Jayme Lawson, Sean Hayes, Michael Cera, William H. Macy, and Josh Brolin round out the list.

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]> Six years on from the original movie, Oc𝔍tavia ꦜSpencer's Ma is making a surprise big-screen comeback – and well, you had better not make her drink alone this time around.

On June 4, Blumhouse Productions confirmed that a sequel to 2019's Ma was officially in the 🍬works on social media, while to share the news. Check out the appropriately meme-heavy tweet below...

Directed by Tate Taylor, Ma follows Spencer's Sue Ann, a lonely middle-aged woman who encourages a bunch of neighborhood teens over to use her house as a safe place to party. At first, the youngsters think they've got themselves a pretty sweet deal: ဣSue Ann's got a cool basement and she's game to buy them alcohol. But when Sue Ann, who goes by 'Ma', starts implementing suspicious rules and obsessing over whether her new "pals" will be coming over next, the set-up turns into a nightmare.

Thanks to Spencer's performance and its unhinged, murderous protagonist, Ma went on to become one of the most online joke-friendly horror movies🧸 in history, so it stands to reason that Gen Z couldn't hide their excitement about getting a new chapter.

"This might be the best day of ma life," one fan joked on Twit꧋ter, as aꦉnother said: "WE WON SO BAD FR".

"Please give us FULL CAMP," a third begg🧔eജd, while a fourth tweeted: "People are texting me like I just got engaged."

Others were ꦅcurious as to how Ma will return exactly, given how the first film ended. The final scene saw Ma resign herself to the fact that her true nature had been revealed and elected to stay inside her house while a fire set off by her daughter, in her attempt to save her peers, ravaged through it. This is Hollywood, though, of course, and if you didn't see a dead body, anything's on the table.

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]> A new documentary celebrating the 50th anniversary of Jaws is headed to Hulu and Disney Pᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚlus.

Directed by Laurent Bouzereau, Jaws @ 50: The Definitive In꧋side Story offers an "unfiltered look at the chaos and c𒈔reativity" behind the making of Jaws, featuring never-before-seen footage from director Spielberg's and shark activist Wendy Benchley's personal archives, including home videos and "rare outtakes."

Per , Spielberg candidly reflects on everything "from battling a malfunctioning mechanical shark and relentless weather delays to his own post-production PTSD and fears the filꦑm would end his career."

The doc also takes a look at the negative and unfortunate ripple effect the film had on the public opinion of sharks, and how they have been both feared and hunted creatures ever since. The doc also features brand-new interviews with cast, crew, filmmakers, and shark advocates and a🐭ctivists. You can watch the trailer below.

Jaws, based on the 1974 novel by Peter Benchley, who also co-wrote the screenplay, hit theaters in 1975 and took the world by storm. The🐽 thriller sees an unlikely team of heroes set out to capture and kill a shark that is terrifying the citizens of a seaside town known as Amity Island - and grossed a whopping $476 million against a budget of only $9 million.

Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story is set to premiere Thursday, July 10 on National Geographic. The doc will head to Hulu and Disney Plus the next day. For more, check out our list of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Disney Plus movies and the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Disney Plus shows to stream right now.

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]> The onl🎃y certain things in life a🌜re death, taxes, and Hideo Kojima movie reviews - and he's back with more.

The video game mogul took to his account ꧒to praise Sophia Thatcher's performance in Companion, writing that she "may have seemed like a late bloomer compared to the rest of the Yellowjackets crew, but right now, she’s one of the hottest actresses around." He also added that Thatcher was "fantastic on the set of my friend, Nicolas Winding Refn’s [movie] Her Private Hell."

There hasn't been very much info about Her Private Hell, other than that it stars Thatcher and Charles Melton, Kristine Froseth, and Havana Rose Liu, and that it began filming in Tokyo this month. Refn co-wrote the pic with Esti Giord🔥ani, which c♚ould very well be a remake of the 1968 British sexploitation film of the same name.

Kojima also gave a shoutout to A Quiet Place: Day One, writing that it really is "a well-crafted film - meticulously directed down to the finest detail. The way it tells its story, builds its characters, and expresses emotion - all without dialogue - is masterfully done. It's poetic take on 'quiet' is something truly special." The film, directed by Michael Sarnoski, hit theaters last year and served as a prequel to John Krasinski's A Quiet Place franchise - a𝓀nd made me cry for nearly two hour♕s straight mostly because of that cat.

Companion is streaming now on Hulu. A Quiet Place: Day One is available to stream on Prime Video and Paramount Plus. For more, check out our list of the most exciting 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming movies in 2025 and beyond, or, check out our list of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:movie release dates.

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]> Jenna Ortegℱa's new movie Hurry Up Tomorrow is curr❀ently the lowest-rated 2025 release on Rotten Tomatoes – but its current rating is still an improvement, as the film initially debuted to a score of 0%.

Abel Tesfaye, AKA The Weeknd, plays a fictionalized version of himself – a musician suffering from insomnia and on the verge of a mental breakdown – who's taken on an existential odyssey by a stranger, and the film serves🌜 as a compan🐲ion piece to his album of the same name. The movie's cast also includes Ortega and Barry Keoghan, and it's directed by Trey Edward Shults, who previously helmed the 2017 horror It Comes at Night and the 2019 drama Waves.

At the time of writing, Hurry Up Tomorrow has a critics' score of 16% on Rotten Tomatoes, based o🌊n 37 reviews, ranking below Disney's live-action ✤Snow White remake (39%), A Minecraft Movie (47%), and Captain America: Brave New World (48%).

writes that "the nearly plot-free movie is self-indul𒁏gent, overly serious, and, worst of all, just plain dull," while comments on the film's "stiff writing, no stakes, limited emotional weight and an un♐clear narrative."

's review, meanwhile, sꦰays Hurry Up Tomorrow "can't rush past its lack of clarity, both visually and in the storytelli✤ng. The payoffs should hit harder, but the film's insistence on tarrying in the space between the characters' sober and sick minds make for muddled set-ups."

As for the movie's performances, says that Ortega and Keoghan "do what they can, investing their thinly written characters ꦆwith intense energy. But their hard-working efforts are not enough to make Hurry Up Tomorrow anything more than a huge ego trip for its star."

Hurry Up Tomorrow is out now in theaters. For more, get up to speed with this year's best 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming movies, with our guide to the biggest 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:movie release dates in 2025.

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]> A24 has revealed the first teaser for Ari Aster’s upcoming dark comedy slash we🗹stern thriller Eddington, and it's an immersive social media doomscroll that puts you right in the eye of a political storm.

The trailer opens with an Eddington local scrolling✤ through their Instagram fe🙈ed, where they see a clip of Sheriff Joe Cross (Joaquin Phoenix) speaking to the public. "If you value your life, you should think twice," says Cross, "because the people of Eddington like guns." On the next scroll, we see Dune star Austin Butler ranting and raving, followed by a video of Emma Stone’s Louise Stone denouncing her husband's (Phoenix) earlier statement. Watch the full trailer below.

But that's not all, as there is so much to unpack in the 1-minute-long trailer. The scroller goes past a video of a young woman dancing with the caption reading, "When you finish reading James Baldwin’s Giovanni's Room," in reference to the classic '50s novel🐻 exploring themes of shame and sexuality. We also see respon🐻ses to the pandemic, conspiracy theories, and Blackout Tuesday – the 2020 call to action where users would post a black square in protest of racism and police brutality.

The video ends with Pedro Pascal’s Ted Garcia campaign to be mayor of Eddington. The last post sees the Sheriff pushing someone over with the caption reading, "Sheriff assaults protestor in town rocked by murders." At the end of the clip, it is reꩵvealed that the scroller is in fact Sheriff Joe Cross.

From the trailer⛄, we can see that the film centers on one of the most tense times in the US, 2020. Tha🌳t year saw not only the COVID pandemic shake the nation, but also the murder of an unarmed Black man named George Floyd by police, which sparked outrage and a need for change. These are heavy topics, but writer and director Aster is well known for dealing with hard-hitting themes such as grief and loss in his A24 horror movies Hereditary and Midsommar.

However, it looks like the mo⛦vie will focus on two men in particular during this tense time, and how a divided nation plays backdrop to their conflict. The official synopsis from A24 reads: "In May of 2020, a standoff between a small-town sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) and mayor (Pedro Pascal) sparks a po♒wder keg as neighbour is pitted against neighbour in Eddington, New Mexico."

Eddington will have its world premiere at The Cannes Film Festival, and will hit theaters on July 18. For more, see our list of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best western movies, or keep up with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming movies.

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]> Plans for a remake of The Bodyguard have been going on for as long as Whitney Houston holds the note in "I Will Always Love You." 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Announced back in 2021, the news from now confirms that a director and writer have been hired to bring a modern iteration of the romantic thriller that originally starred Kevin Costner and the aforementioned music icoﷺn to the screen.

Sam Wrench, who directed Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, will be helming the project, which is being penned by Juror No. 2 writer Jonathan A. Abrams. The original film, released in 1992, saw Costner as a former secret service agent hired to protect Houston's world-renowned R&B singer, only for the two to slowly fall in love in the process. The film had extra longevity thanks to the stunning musical input from Houston, whose cover of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" st💧ayed at the top of the ♌Billboard Hot 100 for 14 weeks, and the movie's soundtrack was at number 1 for 20.

There's no doubt that the project would hope to tap into a similar success, potentially having a musical artist as the star being protected, but what could that mean for who gets picked? Could a megastar as big as Houston was during the release of the original film get a call, if so, we're pretty sure Wrench might have a number in his phone book. It's also worth highlighting just how celebrities are༒ more under the microscope than ever before thanks to fans being able to interact with them online, which could operate as an interesting plot point in whatever Abrams has planned, given that the remake focused on Houston's character being followed by a stalker.

We can only wait and see who gets the gig along with the hero assigned to protect her as this develops. For now, if you fancy your films carrying a few extra notes 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历🌱史查♈询:check out our list of best music movies here.

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]> The first look at Hereditary director Ari Aster’s new ♓movie Eddington has been revealed, and it looks like Pedro Pasca♍l and Joaquin Phoenix are feuding in the upcoming feature.

The image, which you can check out above, shows Pascal and Phoenix standing on a sidewalk in what looks like a small town. The two are engaging in some kind of argument with Pascal pointing his finger and Phoenix holding his hand out a𝓀s if he is trying to calm Pascal’s ch🦂aracter down.

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]> Ayo Edebiri is no stranger to making people laugh. Whether that's in comedies that err more on the side of drama with hit show The Bear or sillier, slapstick humor like the queer high school movie Bottoms, Edebiri has made her name as a comedic actor🔯. With new thriller Opus, howev♕er, she proves that she can work with darker material too – and would kill it (no pun intended) as a horror flick's final girl.

The directorial debut from former GQ editor Mark Anthony Green follows underappreciated junior journalist Ariel Ecton (Edebiri), who's inexplicably invited to join a select group of legacy media stalwarts – and a token influencer – on a weekend retreat to get an exclusive first listen of reclusive pop legend Alfred Moretti's (John Malkovich) comeback album at the musician's remote compound. Missing from public life for the past coup🦋le of decades, Moretti has set up camp with a bunch of mysterious cultists, and things go from weird to weirder as the excursion 🗹progresses.

Moretti's guests are required to hand over their phones on arrival, for example, and there are some uncomfortable personal grooming requests for invitees. Each guest is assigned their own butler, but it soon becomes apparent that they take their job very seriously and won't leave their sides – literally. And then a member ofꦉ their party goes missing…

Big Screen Spotlight

Shining a light𝔉 on the undಌer-the-radar theatrical releases that you need to know about, with a new article every Friday

Opus is by no means a horror movie, but there are plenty of horrifying moments that let Edebiri showcase a different side of her acting abilities. Ariel is the first one to notice that something isnꩵ't quite right in Moretti's compound, and her search for answers leads her into more and more unsettling territory.

In one particularly troubling scene, Moretti takes Ariel to a hut where a cult member sits shucking hundreds of oysters, looking for the pearls that the group use to decorate the necklaces they all wear. As he searches to no avail, growing increasingly manic, he slices into one of his hands, and Moretti ushers Ariel away. A puppet show put on by the children of the cult for Moretti's guests, with freakily realistic🔯 puppets, is probably the closest the movie veers to horror territory, although these marionettes don't come to life.

Final destination

Another unsettling moment involves the journalists listening to Moretti's new album for the first time. It's at once sexualised, goofy, and menacing, as the pop star lunges and gyra🧸tes in a performance that the (predominantly fe🌄male) audience doesn't seem to know how to interpret. Should they be entertained or uncomfortable? In Moretti's eyes, probably both. There's no sexual violence in Opus, but an undercurrent of gendered power is a stalwart of the horror genre.

The film features its fair share of bloody violence, too, and there are a few scenes that dabble in action territory, in which Ariel must fight off aggressors. Edebiri perfectly conveys a dogged sense of surv💙ival in Ariel, a gritty determination to survive and get out of this situation by any means necessary – a vital quality for any final girl.

The villain of Opus may not be a mythical monster, but Moretti is a lo෴oming specter haunting the movie all the same, and Ariel's fight for survival proves that Edebiri has what it takes to face off against something that goes bump in the night. If any ho💙rror directors are looking for their next scream queen, they know where to look.

Opus is out now in cinemas. For more on what to watch, check out the rest of our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Big Screen Spotlight series.

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]> The upcoming reboot of The Running Man won't be a straight remake of 1987's classic movie. Instead, director Edgar Wright has share♓d his plans to go back to Stephen King's original novel for inspiration.

Originally published under his pen name Richard Bachma♐n in 1986, the novel follows Ben Richards as he takes part in a reality show called The Running Man. Contestants win money by evading the team of hitmen who have been set to murder them.

Speaking to , Wright says his plan isn't to confine the action to just the gameshow set. "One of the things about the book that I loved was the ﷺfact that Ben Richards is out in the world on his own, so it’s like the deadliest game of hide and𒊎 seek," he said.

"It does feel like m🎉aking a road movie in a lot of ways: a very intense, dangerous road movie. Ben is moving through different environments and meeting different people as he tries to survive 30 days out in the wild."

The new version stars Glen P🧔owell in the lead role alon🐟gside a pretty star-studded cast. Colman Domingo plays the gameshow host while Katy O'Brian, Josh Brolin, Lee Pace, Michael Cera, and William H. Macy all also star.

The movie is scheduled to be released on November 7, 2025. For more, check out our guide to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming movies and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:2025 movie release dates.

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]>

Murder, mystery, and the Marina Grande? The first trailer for Another Simple F🃏avor, the eagerly anticipated sequel to Ghostbusters director Paul Feig's comedy crime thriller, is here – and it looks just as sinister, silly, and sun-soaked as we expected.

The fun teaser opens with Anna Kendrick's Stephanie reading an excerpt from her book 'The Faceless Blond🔜e', which recounts how her path previously crossed with the mysterious, alluring Emily (Blake Lively). "I think about her all the time," she says, as the clip offers up snippets from the 2018 original. "Was she a glamorous P🐼R executive, or a cold-blooded killer?"

If you recall, the first film saw Stephanie strike up a fast friendship with Emily before her new bestie suddenly goes missing, prompting the former to team up w💯ith Emily's husband Sean (Henry Golding) to get to the bottom of her disappearance. During her investigation, several shocking truths about Emily's past come to light, culminating in threats at gunpoint, an arrest, and a 20-year prison sentence. Think Gone Girl meets The Talente🌠d Mr. Ripley, with Feig's trademark dry wit thrown in for good measure.

In the follow-up, Stephanie and Emily find themselves reuniting ahead o🐻f the 🌳latter tying the knot to a new unsuspecting sucker in Italy. "Along with the glamorous guests, expect betrayal to RSVP for a wedding with more twists and turns than the roads of Capri," reads the official synopsis.

"You think I invited you here to get revenge for stealing my life and taking my kid away from me?" Emily asks Stephaꦯnie in the promo, which you can watch above. "You think I wanna make you pay?"

"I don't know. Do you?" she replies, and we'rꦚe guessing by Emily's smirk in response, the film is going to keep us guessing alongside her.

Golding, Bashir Salahuddin, and Andrew Randells reprise their roles opposite Kendrick and Lively, with franchise newbies Elizabeth Perkin𓂃s, Michele Morrone, Alex Newell, Elena Sofia Ricci, and Allison Janney joining in with the hijinks this time around. Jessica Sharzer and Laeta Kalogridis wrote the script, based on characters by Darcey Bell.

Another Simple Favor releases exclusively on Prime Video on May 1, following its world premiere at SXSW Film Festival on March 7. For more, check out our guide to the most exciting 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming movies heading our way.

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]>

A new trailer for upcoming Netflix movie Revelations has arrived, teasing a psychological crime thriller that's going s🐟traight to the top𒀰 of our watchlist.

Per the official synopsis, the film follows "a pastor and a detective, each driven by their own beliefs. The pastor believes it’s his divine calling to punish the culprit behind a missing-person c🧸ase, while the detective assigned to the case continues to be haunted by visions of her dead sister."

In the newly relased clip, which you can watch above, we see Pastor Sung Min-chan (Ryu Jun-yeol) become increasingly consumed with the case 𓂃of the missing girl🅠 after experiencing "God's revelation", before things get more and more intense.

The film was directed by Yeon Sang-ho, who previously helmed the zombi⭕e horrꦓor movie Train to Busan and Netflix series Hellbound and Parasyte: The Grey. Yeon re-teamed with Hellbound writer Choi Gyu-seok for the film, which is based on the duo's comic of the same name. Gravity director Alfonso Cuarón is on board as an executive producer.

The first season of dark fantasy series Hellbound dethroned Squid Game from Netflix's number one spot when it was released back in 2021, while sci-fi horror Pa🍸rasyte: The Grey beat Game of Thrones creators' 3 Body Problem to the top spot across the world when it debuted last year. Revelations, by contrast, sounds like it's a lot more grounded in real life.

"Many of the live-action films I’ve worked on deal with surreal themes in fantasy worlds," Yeon told . "But this time, I ruled out fantasy elem🔯ents as much as possible. I wanted to depict psychological elements that can be found in reali🍌ty, such as illusions, delusions, and traumas."

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]> Top Gun: Maverick di🐈rector Joseph Kosinski is re-teaming with producer Jerry Bruckheimer for a new UFO conspiracy thriller, per .

No plot details have been revealed about the currently untitled movie, which is described as "All🍬 the President’s Men with UFOs", and no actors are attached to the prꦯoject yet.

Former US Air Force intelligence officer and whistleblo🌃wer David Grusch, who made headlines in 2023 when he claimed the US government had been secretly studying alien spacecraft and suppressing leaks, is on board as a consultant. Zach Baylin, who wrote the Will Smith-led King Ric🙈hard, penned the script.

Top Gun: Maverick, released in 2021, was a sequel to 1986's Top Gun and saw Tom Cruise reprise his role as test pilot Captain Pete "Maverick" Mitchell as he trains a new generation of Top Gun graduates for a dangerous mission. The movie earned almost $1.5 billion at the box office and became the highest-grossing movie of Cruise's career. Kosinski also directed Cruise in 2013'♔s Oblivion, a post-apocalyptic romance actioner.

Kosinski and Bruckheimer's next collaboration is F1, which stars Brad Pitt as a former Formula One driver who stopped racing after a terrible crash, until a friend and Formula One team owner asks him to♎ come out of retirement to mentor a promising young driver. The cast also includes Javier Bardem, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Shea Whigham, and Tobias Menzies.

F1 speeds onto the big screen worldwide on June 25, before arriving in US theaters on June 27. While we wait, check out our guide to this year's other biggest 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming movies.

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]>

The first trailer for The Accou𝓡ntant 2 hasꦉ arrived - and we are so back.

In the brief clip, which can be viewed above, Ray King (J.K. Simmons) is killed by unknown assassins - and Treasury Agent Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) is forced to contact escaped convict and savant Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) to ൩solve the murder. You might remember that Christian's job is to 'un-cook the books' and that he does so with a hyper level of intelligence. It's not long before they contact Christian's brother Brax (Jon Bernthal), a nonchalant hitman who accidentally confesses to a bunch of murders in the trailer, to get a full and rather unorthodox investigation underway.

"As they get closer to the truth," the offi🔥cial synopsis reads. "The trio draw the attention of s🎃ome of the most ruthless killers alive - all intent on putting a stop to their search."

Gavin O'Connor returns to direct from a screenplay penned by Bill Dubuque. The cast includes Daniella Piဣneda, Allison Robertson, Robert Morgan, and Grant Harvey.

The first film hit theaters in 2016 and was a massive b⛎ox office success, grossing $155 million worldwide against a budget of only $44 million. The sequel was announced back in 2017.

The Accountant 2 is set to make its world premiere at SXSW on March 8 before hitting theaters on April 25. For more, check out our list of the most exciting 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming movies in 2025 and beyond, or, skip right to our list of movie release dates.

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]> Wolf Man star Christopher Abbott swaps monsters for personal demons in new thriller Bring Them Down. He stars alongside Barry Keoghan in the sheep farming yarn, who he says is "as alive wheಌn you're working with him on set as h𒀰e is on screen" when GamesRadar+ sits down with him over Zoom.

Abbott plays Michael, a sheep farmer who leads a lonely life in rural Ireland with only his ailing, ag✱eing father and the burden of responsibility for a tragic accident that happened two decades prior for company. His quiet life is suddenly disrupted, however, by a minor dispute over land access with neighboring farmer Gary (Paul Ready) and his son Jack (Keoghan) that quickly snowballs out of everyone's control.

The film is the debut feature from writer-director Christopher Andrews, who Abbott praises for ꩵ"t🍃aking this, on paper, very small world and small story, but adding these bigger allegories and terrible themes to it."

"To me, the movie is almost biblical," he continues. "It's like the Parable for the Good Shepherd, and I personally feel that it's strangely almost like a mafia movie. With sheep." The title of the movie refers to the "bringing down" of livestock from higher ground to lower pastures, but also plays into the reacti🍨ve nature of the two farmers' feud.

The sh☂eep in the film provide plenty of opportunity for metaphor, and Abbot expands on the New Testament comparisons: he thinks "the idea of the shepherd leaving one away from his flock, going to get the one sheep that he left behind, but then leavin🐎g the rest" can also be applied to the family dynamics in the film. "There's a lot to play with there."

As for the mafia parallels, there may not be any organized crime in Bring Them Down, but there's plenty of violence in the film against both man and beast that's presented in a frighteningly casual and matter-of-fact way. Combined with an oppressive, seemingly inevitable expectation of masculinity that weighs heavily on both Michael and Jack from the patriarchal figures in their lives, the comparison isn't actually th♒at left field.

It's not just the movie's themes but its form, too, as Abbott thinks the film's structure – which abruptly and unexpectedly sw🦩itches its narrative POV from Michael to Jack halfway through the runtime – is also reminiscent of a mob flick. "You're following this one character and you learn just enough about what's going on to have a fair amount of questions, and then it switches," he explains. "And then some of those [questions] get answered, until this sort of final crescendo. I really liked it. I thought it was exciting."

There's no clear hero or villain in the movie and no🅘 apparent winner or loser as the altercation between Michael and Jack plays out, and the futility of the situation plays 𒊎into the tragedy of the film. "It's not an obvious thing why the characters are pitted against each other. It just sort of happens," Abbott explains. "I love in movies where a small event changes the course of a character's life, and the reason why Michael is pitted against Barry's character is sort of silly.

"It's really just a series of misunderstandings and mistakes [then] all of a sudden this mayhem starts happening. If they'd just gotten together and chatted for an hour about everything, probably a lot of things could get resolved, but it doesn't. But that's the drama of it. They're༺ enemies, but neither of the characters even knows why, and that's what's interesting."

Bring Them Down is out now in UK cinemas and US theaters. For more on what to watch, check out the rest of our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Big Screen Spotlight series.

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]> The fi൩rst trailer for Delicious, the directorial debut fr🍎om German filmmaker Nele Mueller-Stöfen, is here – and we're getting Parasite meets Saltburn vibes.

In the brief clip, which can be viewed below, a mysterious young wo🀅man named Teodora (Carla Diaz) encounters a wealthy couple. They take her in, initially hiring her as a nanny of sorts, before things start to get... weird.

Per the official synopsis, the thriller follows "a wealthy German family who hires a young woman as a domestic helper during their summer vacation in Provence, and the entire family life gradually changes with dramatic consequences." The plot summary goes on to say that the family quickly realizes that taking Teodora in was a mistake – and judging by the quick shots of knives and sinister foreshadowing in⛄ the trailer, we can infer that it might be the fatal kind of mistake.

The con🐼cept – mysterious young woman with ulterior motives coming to live with a rich family – is very Parasite, but Teodora reminds us a whole lot of Oliver Quick in Saltburn.

Written and directed by Mueller-Stöfen, the cast includeꦬs Valerie Pachner, Fahri Yardim, Naila Schuberth, Caspar Hoffmann, Julien de Saint Jean, Sina Martens, Johann von Bülow, Miveck Packa, Tom Rey, and Nina Zem. The film is set to compete for the Panorama Audience Award for Best Feature Film at the 75th Annual Berlin Intern🔯ational Film Festival.

Delicious is set to premiere at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival on February 18, before hitting Netflix on March 7. For more, check out our list of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Netflix shows and the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Netflix movies to stream right now.

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]> Just two years after co-starring in HBO’s divisive pop-star drama The Idol, musician Abel Tesfaye AKA The Weeknd is returౠning to the screen as his upcoming project Hurry Up Tomorrow gets i♏ts first look.

The three first-look images, posted exclusively by , show Tesfaye and his co-stars Wednesday’s Jenna Ortega and Saltburn’s Barry Keoghan in an intense situation, with Tesfaye seemingly having a breakdown as both Ortega and Keoghan's c🐽haracters try and console him separately. Check out the images below.

A photo posted by on

Written and directed by It Comes at Night helmer Trey Edward Shults, the movie follows "a musician pla🉐gued by insomnia gets pulled into an odyssey with a stranger (Ortega) who begins to unravel the very core of his existence," as per the official synopsis. The feature is said to be inspired by The Weeknd’s experience as a musician with the star playing a version of himself. The movie will also include music from the artist, with his new album also titled Hurry Up Tomorrow.

In the suspense thriller verging on horror movie, Ortega plays Amina, who seems to be the musician’s love interest, but Tesfaye describes her as being another version of♒ himself. Whereas co-star Keoghan portrays the m♉usician's manager, who "loves" the artist as Keoghan describes, but has "darker intentions" too.

When asked to describe the genre-bending film, the director told Enterta𝄹inment Weekly: "It’s about an ar♚tist, you could say, on the verge of a mental breakdown. It’s a mix of psychological thriller and drama. I honestly feel like I’ve never seen a movie quite like it."

The project marks Tesfaye’s third acting venture after starring in The Idol with Nosferatu star Lily-Rose Depp, and th🌌e 💜Safdie brother’s A24 movie Uncut Gems where the musician plays himself (The Weeknd.) Hurry Up Tomorrow also stars fellow musician Gabby Barrett who is making her acting debut.

Hurry Up Tomorrow releases in theaters on May 16, 2025. For more, see our list of the best horror mo🐼vies that no one thinks are horror movies, or keep up with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new movies heading your way in 2025 and beyond.

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]> Trap, Split, and The Sixth Sense director M. Night Shyama🌺lan has set his next project, reports – and it's something a little different 💦for the filmmaker.

Jake Gyllenhaal will star in the movie, which will be a supernatural romance thriller based on a story that Shyamalan has come up with an unlikely collaborator: The Notebook author Nicholas Sparks. The duo are independently working on a screenplay and a novel, respectively, that are both based on the 🔯same love story and characters. Intriguing…

As for what the supernat🙈ural element of the𒁃 movie will entail or who Gyllenhaal will be playing, all other details are still being kept firmly under wraps.

Shyamalan's last movie was 2024's Trap, starring Josh Hartnett as a devoted dad and brutal serial killer who finds the walls closing in during an arena concert by his tween daughter's favorite pop star. His other recent films includeไ 2023's Knock at the Cabin, 2019's Old, and 2019's Glass, the latter of which rounded out his U𓂃nbreakable trilogy with Bruce Willis and James McAvoy.

As for Gyllenhaal🔴, his other upcoming projects include Guy Ritchie's action thriller In the Grey, which also stars Henry Cavill, Eiza González, and Rosamund Pike, and The Bride!, written and directed by his sister Maggie, which retells the story of the Bride of Frankenstein. More recently, he starred in las🌌t year's Apple TV Plus series Presumed Innocent and the Prime Video action movie Road House.

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]> Horror veteran Davi𒐪d Dastmalchian is set to terrorize Star Wars: The Last Jedi actor Kelly Marie Tran in new psychological thriller Kodak SuperXX.

Set in Los Angeles, the movie, which will mark the directorial debut of Auden Bui, sounds like a creepy update on Mark Romanek's 2002 chiller One Hour Photo, and has already been liked tonally to Dan Gilroy's 🌊Nightcrawler. Tony Rettenmaier, who most recently penned Netflix's trippy sci-fi They Cloned Tyrone, wrote the script.

According to the official synopsis, it centers on Linh (Tran), "a quiet woman whose solitary life revolves around her work as a darkroom developer at one of the city’s last boutique photo labs. Her quie༒t existence takes a paranoid turn when she becomes entangled with a mysterious stranger (Dastmalchian), whose photographs reveal a dark secret."

Production is set to kick off later in 2025, with Dastmalchian al🐎so on board as a producer aloꦅngside Josh Feldman, Sean King O'Grady, Jesse Ford, Juel Taylor and Rettenmaier.

"I'm excited to embark on this journey with Kelly and David to create a🍃 film that aims to provoke, challenge and hopefully leave audiences both uncomfortable and turned ﷺon," said Bui in a statement (via ).

No stranger to genre flicks, Dastmalchian has previously appeared in scary movies such as The Belko Experiment, The Last Voyage of the Demeter, The Boogeyman, Afraid, and Late Night With the Devil.

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]> We have lost a master of the arts, and the best David Lynch movies and shows will officially go down in history as some of the greats. David Lynch, the unique creative mind behind such game-changing works as Eraserhead, Mulholland Drive, Blue Velvet, and Twin Peaks, has 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:passed away at the age of 78, leaving the world a more strange and magical pla🐠ce than when he entered💙 it.

Lynch's legacy is one of great love: for the man, and for his work. The outpouring of disbelief and veneration at the news of Lynch’s death has perhaps not been seen since we lost David Bowie almost a decade ago. And even the fact that these two great artists collaborated in their work is a gift that somehow holds a kind of dreamlike weight. Like Bowie, Lynch was a visionary. A one of a kind. A weaver of surreal dreams. A creator of some of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best movies that changed the people who lived within his world and were fortunate enough to be shown a glimpse inside ౠhis head. Like Bowie, Lynch is irreplaceable but leaves us with a body of work that is a💦s boldly entertaining and baffling as it is important.

It may seem impossible to attempt a ranking of a filmography as exceptional as David Lynch's, but we wanted to pay homage to his extraordinary contribution to cinema (and TV) and potentiaꩲlly provide any newcomers with a cheat sheet of where they might like to dive in. Lynch made so many five-star masterpieces that the top entries in our ranking are pretty interchangeable based on mood, time of day, and even the weather… but with a collection of films like his, there's really no bad place to begin.

10. Inland Empire

Year: 2006

It's funny to say with a filmmaker like David Lynch that this one is…'weird', but with perhaps his most experimental feature, the director created something truly surreal. Filmed entirely by Lynch himself using a low-resolution digital camcorder and shot largely on a scene-by-scene basis without a complete screenplay, Inland Empire has proven polarising amongst even the most die-🎉hard fans, but nearly 20 years after its release, many regard it as an underrated gem.

Starring Laura Dern as an actress who begins to embody the personality of her character in a supposedly cursed film production, it also features other frequent Lynch collaborators Harry Dean Stanton, Justin Theroux, and Grace Zabriskie, as well as Jeremy Iro♏ns, Nastassja Kinski, William H. Macy, Mary Steenburgen, and Terry Crews. Inland Empire will now go down in cinema history as David Lynch's final feature film.

9. The Straight Story

Year: 1999

Walt Disney and David Lynch may not sound like the most natural match, but when the company released The Straight Story in the United States, it did so to great critical success.🅰 A biographical story about one maౠn's 240-mile road trip on a John Deere tractor to visit his estranged brother before he dies, the film was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival and Richard Farnsworth received a nomination for the Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of the real life Alvin Straight.

The subject matter may be uncharacteristic in Lynch's oeuvre, but The Straight Story paints a picture of simple life and Americana with the director's dreamlike and unsentimental brush. Sissy Spacek also stars as Alvin's d🌳aughter, Rose, and Lynch's longtime musical collaborator Angelo Badalamenti provides the score. An accessible entry into the master filmmaker's canon, The Straight Story more than deserves🃏 a place amongst his greatest works.

8. Lost Highway

Year: 1997

David Lynch's cinematic use of themes and techniques like illogical action, myster꧋ious characters, doppelgangers and their impact🌄 on perceived identity, and mind-bending narrative structure is well recognized, and Lost Highway is a glorious example of his exploration of nightmarish storytelling. One of Lynch's 'Los Angeles films' (along with Inland Empire and Mulholland Drive), Lost Highway is a late-90s film noir that follows Bill Pullman's musician Fred Madison and his wife Renee (Patricia Arquette) as they navigate threatening VHS tapes, murder and false accusations amidst the Hollywood Hills.

The soundtrack was produced by Nine Inch Nails' Tre🦂nt Reznor and features music from artists like David Bowie, Rammstein and The Smashing Pumpkins, as well as an original score by Barry Adamson and Angelo Badalamenti. Although the film received a mixed reception from critics upon release, it has garnered a cult foll🦋owing in the subsequent decades and is now seen to sit amongst the quintessential Lynch pictures.

Check out our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lost Highway review for more details.

7. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me

Year: 1992

Following the rabid success of Twin Peaks, which saw early '90s television fans huddled around the water cooler desperately trying to figure out who killed Laura Palmer, the show ended after its second season leaving a huge gap in interesting TV programming, as well as more than a few people still scratching their heads. But David Lynch wasn't done with the story of Laura and Twin Peaks, 🅰and in 1992 he gave us a feature film prequel: Fire Walk With Me.

An altogether darker and more heart-breaking piece of work, the film tells the story of Laura Palmer's last days, bringing back notable cast members from the show, including Sheryl Lee, Ray Wise, Grace Zabriskie, Kyle MacLachlan, Madchen Amick, and Dana Ashbrook, alongside other familiar faces like Davie Bowie and Kiefer Sutherland. Probably best watched in between season 2 of Twin Peaks and 2017's The Return (more on those to come), Fire Walk With Me can also be enjoyed if you've never seen the show, succeeding as a stylish, nightmarish gut-punch of a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:horror movie about one teenage girl's descent into tragedy.

6. Wild at Heart

Year: 1990

Laura Dern and David Lynch's creative partnership will go down as one of the most prolific and fruitful in cinema history, and teaming up his muse with the electrifying Nicolas Cage for the romantic crime picture Wꩲild at Heart was a genius move. The film follows Cage's Sailor Ripley and Dern's Lula Fortune, young lovers on the run from Lula's mother and the criminals she hires to kill Sailor.

Based on the novel of the same name by Barry Gifford, Wild at Heart is a sexy and frenetic ride that won the Palme d'Or at Cannes in 1990, plus an Independent Spirit Award for its cinematography, and also hosts stellar performances from Willem Dafoe, Diane🔯 Ladd, Isabella Rossellini, Harry Dean Stanton, and Crispin Glover. Exploring the dark side of America through a passionate love affair and tributes to iconic pop culture fare like The Wizard of Oz and Elvis Presley, Wild at Heart helped to establish Lynch as one of the most exciting and innovative filmmakers of his generation.

5. The Elephant Man

Year: 1980

One of David Lynch's most appreciated works in terms of audience acclaim and awards recognition, The Elephant Man is a biogrඣaphical work loosely based on the life of John Merrick, a man with a severe physical affliction in 19th Century London, played by the incredible John Hurt. Lynch's exploration of human dignity is a deeply empathetic work, seeing Merrick go from side-show curiosity to the beloved and respected friend of Anthony Hopk🍸ins' Dr Frederick Treves, and the black and white film looks stunning while it does it.

The Elephant Man received Academy Award nominations for Best Picture, Best Actor (Hurt), Art Direction, Costume ༺Design, Editing, Music, and Adapted Screenplay, and although it didn't win any, the film did inspire the Academy to introduce the Best Makeup category the following year after industry outcry about its being overlooked. The Elephant Man is one of Lynch's more accessible and mainstream films, garnering both critical and commercial success without sacri๊ficing any of the director's characteristic vision.

4. Mulholland Drive

Laura Harring as Rita looking into a mirror during one of the best David Lynch movies, Mulholland Drive.

Year: 2001

A love story in the city of dreams, Mulholland Dr. was David Lynch's ninth feature, and the fact that he was still producing this level of masterpiece at that stage in his career is nothi𒆙ng less than remarkable. The film stars Naomi Watts as an aspiring actress who arrives in LA and befriends a woman suffering from amnesia (Laura Harring) following a car crash, and it develops into a brain-spinning neo-noir work of dreams, alternative realities, Hollywood satire, romance and symbolism that has inspired nearly 25 years of furious interpretation.

Amongst is various accolades, Mulholland Drive earned Lyncꦦh the Best Director award at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival and an Oscar nomination to boot, along with wins for Watts as Best Actress and the movie's cinematography at a number of ceremonies, was ranked as the eighth greatest film ever made in the BFI's 2022 Sight & Sound poll, and voted the greatest film of the 21st century by BBC Culture in 2016. A beautifully immersive work of art that rewards repeat viewings, Mulholland Drive will take you down the rabbit hole in a dark fairytale imagining of Los Angeles and linger in your brain long after the credits roll.

3. Eraserhead

Jack Nance as Henry Spencer during one of the best David Lynch movies, Eraserhead.

Year: 1977

Lynch's first feature catapulted him into movie-m🦂aking with a surreal assault to the senses full of droning soundscapes, expressionistic lighting, bizarre humor, dreamy musical numbers, icky sexual symbolism, stomach-churning body horror, and [checks notes] radiator ladies. The wonderful Jack Nance plays Henry, a new father just about holding things together amidst his grim industr🍨ial environment while being assailed by the unending cries of his poor mutant baby.

This being a very arty independent film, it initially opened to modest interest from audiences but is now considered one of Lynch's best and is perhaps one of the strongest directorial debuts ever made. In 2004, Eraserhead was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation as a work of cultural, historical or aesthetic significance, and has gained a cult following from long runs being screened around the world as a 'Midnight Movie'. With such a bold and brilliant inaugural picture, Lynch announced himself to the world as the singular visionary we all caওme to know and love.

2. Blue Velvet

Isabella Rossellini as Dorothy Vallens singing during one of the best David Lynch movies, Blue Velvet.

Year: 1986

Perhaps David Lynch's most well-known film, Blue Velvet, took some of the surrealist elements of Eraserhead and mixed them with a pulpy murder mystery, throwing in great dollops of romance and psychosexual horror to create a timeless showcase of the great man's talents as a writer/director. Kyle MacLachlan, another stalwart of Lynch's work, plays Jeffrey Beaumont, a college student who returns to his small-town American home and becomes embroiled in a sordid criminal conspiracy and a love affair with a troubled lounge singer, played by the spectacular Isabella Rossellini. Laura Dern is superb once again as Jeffrey's friend and paramour, Sandy and Dennis Hopper is simply terrifying as Frank Booth, the masochistic, gas-huffing p♔sychopath at the center of the action.

Angelo Badalamenti is back on duty for the film's hypnotic jazz-tinged score, and the film's soundtrack - featuring, of course, Bobby Vinton’s song of the same name - appeared on Entertainment Weekly’s ranking of the 100 Greatest Film Soundtracks. Blue Velvet is a perfect slice of Lynch, spotlighting many of his essential themes and traits. A stone-cold masterpiece that may be his best film.

Read our five-star 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Blue Velvet review for more information on this classic.

1. Twin Peaks

(Image credit: ABC)

Year: 1990 - 2017

In 1990, David Lynch changed the face of television forever and, even amongst a filmography as special as his, it's Twin Peaks that must be marked as his greatest accomplishment. Between the first two seasons and the show's triumphant retu♍rn in 2017 with… The Return, Twin Peaks wove the tale of the titular Pacific Northwestern town and its residents, particularly Laura Palmer, the teenage girl whose dead body is found wrapped in plastic in the first episode, rocking the close-knit community and sparking an FBI investigation and a tumbling of uncovered secrets.

With their mix of murder mystery, surrealism, comedy, horror, and soap opera, Lynch and his co-creator Mark Frost launched a phenomenon, and although the second season was somewhat troubled and less well received, Twin Peaks is now widely regarded as one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best TV shows ever made. If you really want to immerse yourself in the world of Lynch, pour yourself a cup of damn fine coffee, grab a slice 🌌of cherry pie, and settle in 𝓀for 48 episodes of genius.

The movie was showered with critical praise when it was released in 2019, with our own 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Uncut Gems review awarding the film five stars. "Some viewers may find this wired worldview abrasive, but the Safdiesꦕ' uncompromised confidence of vision brings its own tumultuous rewards. As for Sandler, a gold statuette come the Oscars would not be undeserved," wrote our reviewer.

Sandler, though, was ultimately snubbed, witꦑh Uncut Gems garnering zero Oscar nominations in a surprising omission.

"The Independent Spirit Awards are the 'best personality' awards of Hollywood," Sandler joked when he won Best Male Lead ahead of the Oscars (H/T ). "Let ✱all those feather-haired mother-fuckers get their Oscars tomorrow night," he continued⛎. "Their handsome good looks will fade in time. Our independent personalities will shine on forever!"

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]> Netflix's new thriller Carry-On 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:has been a huge hit for the stre🐬amer, already landing in the number five spot in the all-time most-watched movies list. Starring Taron Egerton as Ethan Kopek, a TSA agent at Los Angeles Intern๊ational Airport, the Christmas-set thriller has wracked up 149 million views since it was released on December 13.

This puts it just behind 🐻Bird Box and The Adam Project, which are currently in t🌠hird and fourth place. However, despite Carry-On's success, the director has revealed there has been no talk of a sequel just yet.

"W🐓e don't have any plans for a sequel," director Jaume Collet-Serra told . "But if audiences wanted a sequel, families wanted a sequel and if we had an idea that would spark and live up to the original maybe we would do something. But right now, therꦺe are no plans."

Producer Dylan Clark did tell the publication that he had some ideas though. "There are no plans, but it's fun to quietly talk about these things," he added. "These characters are great. Look at Danielle Deadwyler's character, [detective Elena Cole], you can seꦐe a world in which there's a movie about her."

Carry-On follows Ethan as he's contacted 𝔍by a mysterious criminal while working his shift through a discarded AirPod. Played by Jason Bateman, he blackmails Ethan into allowing a bag to pass through the security scanners containing a deadly weapon. Sofia Carson, Danielle Deadwyler, Theo Rossi, and Sinqua Walls also star.

The movie hasn't been the only new release climbing the Netflix charts either with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Squid Game season 2 bre𒉰aking records for the platform as well. For more, check out our guides to the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Netflix movies and the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Netflix shows to stream right now.

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]> W🍃hat's in the box? It's one of the most famous questions asked in cinema, and Seven director David Fincher has answered it for💃 real.

In the dramatic scene, Brad Pitt's Mills demands to know what's in a box delivered to him on the orders of Kevin Spacey's murderous John Doe, which Morgan Freeman's Somerset opens. Inside is the severed ꩲhead of Gwyneth Paltrow's Tracy – we never see it, but it's obvious that this is the grisly discovery made by 🐬Somerset.

Since Seven (one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best thriller movies of all time) was released, a rumor has 🐟abounded that a prosthetic of Paltrow's head – or whole body – was creat💖ed, but ultimately didn't make it into the movie.

"No, it's entirely ridiculous," Fincher told . "I think we had a seven- or eight-pound shot 𓆏bag. We had done the🌸 research to figure out, if Gwyneth Paltrow's body mass index was X, what portion of that would be attributable to her head. And so we had an idea of what that would weigh, and I think there was a weight in it.

"And we did put a wig in there, so that wཧhen Morgan rips the box open if there were some of this tape that was used to seal the box – I think it was a shot bag and a wig, and I think the wiꦰg had a little bit of blood in it, so some of the hair would stick together," he continued. "Remember, I think Morgan opened 16 or 17 of those things. But as I always say, you don't need to see what's in the box if you have Morgan Freeman."

F🅰incher a🐻lso recently revealed that he met with Warner Bros. to discuss directing a Harry Potter film, but his "creepy"♏ take didn't align with the 🦂studio's vision for the franchise.

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]>

Trap star Josh Hartnett finds himself✨ in another sticky𓂃 situation in his next movie – and, this time, 37,000 feet in the air.

He stars in Fight or Flight, aꦜ new action thriller produced by John Wick helmer Basil Iwanyk and made by his production company Thunder Road Films. Per the official synopsis, "a mercenary t🐎akes on the job of tracking down a target on a plane but must protect her when they're surrounded by people trying to kill both of them."

The high-octane trailer, which you can watch above, sees Hartnett's unnamed character going head-to-head with a whole host of adversaries, with all the energetic action scenes you'd expect from th🐲e brains behind John Wick. Sick of running away from a mysterious past, Hartnett's character is promised an escape route on a commercial flight, on the condition that he takes a "high-value target" into custody – but he needs to keep them alive, which could prove difficult on a plane full of killers.

James Madigan is in the director's chair, and the cast also includes Bridgerton's Charithra Chandran and The Mandalorian's Katee Sackhoff. This is Ma💟digan's big-screen directorial debut, but he's previously worked behind the scenes on movies like Transformers: Rise of the Beast and Iron Man 2.

As for Hartnett, he was most recently seen in M. Night Shyamalan's Trap, playing a doting father turned serial killer, and he was also part of the ensemble cast in Christopher Nolan's Oppenh🍒e🉐imer, in which he played Manhattan Project physicist Ernest Lawrence.

Fight or Flight is set to be released this February, although an exact date is still to be confirmed. For more, check out our guide to the rest of 2025's biggest 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:movie release dates.

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]> Austin Butler is set to play Patrick Bateman in Luca G꧟uadagnino's remake of American Psycho.

reports that the film, penned by Scott Z. Burns, is not a remake, but rather a new adaptation of Brett Easton Ellis's 1991 novel (but that's also what they said about The Crow). Butler is set to play 🌞arguably one of the most iconic characters in the horror genre, first portrayed by Christian Bale in the 2000 film. The book is more of a satirical black comedy (and is, in my opinion, much more violent and disturbing), while the feature-length adaptation is more of a horror-thriller than sees white-col🎐lar yuppie Patrick Bateman slowly lose his sanity before going on a murder spree of epic and misogynistic proportions.

It was rumored earlier this year that Jacob Elordi was being eyed to play Bateman, which is funny conside൲ring that both Butler and Elordi played two different versions of Elvis in two very different biopics - 🎀Baz Luhrmann's Elvis and Sofia Coppola's Priscilla. 

Lionsgate first announced an American Psycho remake some 13 years ago, with music video director Noble Jones set to pen the script. American Psyꩲcho 2, starring Mila Kunis, was released in 2005 - though the unofficial sequel, directed by Dawson's Creek and Laguna Beach helmer Morgan J. Freeman, was later denounced by both Kunis and Ellis.

Luca Guadagnino's American Psycho does not yet have a release date. For more, check out our list of the most exciting 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming movies in 2024 and beyond, or, check out our list of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:movie release dates.

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]> "The men who are dangerous, are the ones who do want it," is the warning at the heart of Edward Berger's (All Quiet on the Western Front) Conclave. Set in the aftermath of the Pope's death, the film follows Ralph Fiennes' Cardinal Lawrence as he h𝔍olds a conclave to find a new successor.

Big Screen Spotlight

Shining a light on the under𓂃-the-radar theatrical releases📖 that you need to know about, with a new article every Friday

This involves cardinals from around the world becoming sequester🌺ed (essentially shut away from the outside world) until they hold a vote with a clear majority. There are a few main candidates: Stanley Tucci's Bellini; Lucian Msamati's Adeyemi; John Lithgow's Tremblay, and Sergio Castellitto's Tedesco all throw their zucchettos in the ring.

Then, whenಞ everyone is shut inside, the mind games truly begin. Plots to expose secrets, gain votes, and ultimately tear down opponents start from every corner of the holy city. It's a gripping premise with enough twists and turns to propel the action over its two-hour runtime.

It's Fiennes who steers this masterfully, slowly unraveling as the temperature on the pressure cooker is turned up dial by dial. There are mome🦩nts when things bubble over, including a particಌularly brilliant scene with Isabella Rossellini's Sister Agnes.

"Although we sisters are sup💖posed to be invisible, God has nevertheless giv✃en us eyes and ears," she tells the room of warring cardinals, before unveiling some information that flips the hierarchy of power once again. Stand-out performances and drip-fed narrative details will have you guessing all the way through who – if anyone – may prove successful.

Critics have praised the film for its tension,🌞 and it's part of what's landed it a 92% score on . And it feels💫 in a year where thrillers have either leaned more comedic (Trap, Wolfs) or psychological (Blink Twice), Conclave is well up there as a contender for the top spot.

Unexpected buzz

Conclave

Perhaps the most unusual reaction to the movie so far though has been the buzz it's been generating online. Memes have been popping upꦫ on social media along with comparisons to everything from Mean Girls to RuPaul's Drag Race. Check out some of the best below:

While these are a lot of fun, there's a really interesting current beneath these comparisons. The drama at the heart of th𒊎e film is its most juicy element and shows how deeply the lure of power can be corrupted. Take Father Lawrence, for example. He starts the film eschewing the spotlight and hoping for a quick and easy election – until he starts getting votes.

Stanley Tucci's Bellini sees right through him, eviscerating him with the accusation that he is hungry for the papacy, and has always been. Even though Bellini later apologizes, it turns out he was right on the money with his first hunch: when he asks his old friend Lawrence what his papal name would be, Fiennes' holy man responds without a second of hesitation. But, he's not thought about it, right?

It's the same human drama that makes reality TV so addictive. When ღinteraction is boiled down to its most essential in moments of high stress, people show who they really are. So yes, Conclave is very similar to🦩 dramas like The Real Housewives, in the sense that it's all about personal emotion at its core – and that's what makes it so entertaining.

But, at the end of the day, whether you come to Conclave through Mean Girls memes or thrꦆough critical buzz, the film won't be quite what you expect. As – like all of the best thrillers – Berger's latest will keep you guessing w🧜ith a tone that can't quite be nailed down.

My best advice? Shed your expectations, sit back, and enjoy the ride. Who knew religious suꦉccession could be this much fun?

Conclave is in cinemas now. For more on what to watch, check out the rest of our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Big Screen Spotlight series as well as our guide to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming movies due out in 2024 and 2025.

He reveals: "Rian [Johnson] is probably my new favorite director. It was one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had. Incredible cast. I’m playing a priest. My wife reminded me… She said, ‘Do you remember a year ago you said that you wanted to 🐽play a priest? It’s like you manifꦐest this shit.’"

But what happens if — to save the life of his young son — a father (Mackie) is forced to do just that: to venture below “The Line” with two others, a scientist he despises, but who just might hold the key to defeating the monsters, and a young woman, determined to keep them🐼 both alive long enough to save the human race."

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]>

♛Nicole Kidman’s new erotic thriller Babygirl had a lot of buzz when it arrived at Venice Film Festival earlier thi𒊎s year, and now the first trailer has arrived. The new teaser begins with a chance meeting between Kidman’s Romy and Harris Dickinson’s Samuel on the streets of New York City.

After he stops a dog from attackingౠ her, she finds out he’s one of th🗹e new interns joining her company. “Being a CEO means being a collaborator and a nurturer,” Romy begins as we see her tightly controlled corporate life, “Everyone is waiting for me to buckle under the pressure.” Romy and Samuel then begin an ill-advised affair all about power-imbalance and control, which soon seems to spiral.

As the trailer goes on you begin to question who is really in charge, as Samuel starts to infiltrate her family life. “I could make one call and you could lose everything,” he tells her as Romy seems to be struggling with what’s happening. Antonio Banderas also stars as Romy’s husband and Talk to Me breakout Sophie Wওilde plays her assistant. 

The film 🌱already has a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score, sitting at 93% based on 46 reviews. “Kidman is ferociously good, convincing utterly as this formerly level-headed careerist whose deeply buried, long-denied appetites are simultaneously proving her making and downfall,”

“It’s a self-love story, and part of that dis👍covery is that it’s okay to let yourself be small for a while," . 

“It’s the sort of intelligent, elegant adult filmmaking that is frequently lack💫ing in modern cinema, approachin𒊎g a complex theme not only with nuance and empathy but refreshing candour, all while being genuinely erotic and stylish,” .

Babygirl is released at Christmas in the US and on January 10, 2025 in the UK. For more 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming films, check out our guide to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:2024 movie release dates.

Set in 1978, Woman of the Hour is based on a sh🀅ocking true story. Arrested𒉰 Development's Tony Hale plays the show's host, while It Follows' Daniel Zovatto is Alcala.

The new trailer, which you can watch above, immediately sets the tone for the f𓄧ilm, with Cheryl walking hurriedly through an empty parking lot at night, breathing heavily, as a man lurks behind her. We then cut to an audition, which doesn't go very well for Cheryl. Down on her luck and struggling to meet rent, she gets a job on The Dating Game as the show's eligible bachelorette, and comedic clips from the show as Cheryl grills the three male contestants are interspersed with haunting snippets of Alcala with his victims. Don't be fooled by the campy '70s TV soundstage, this is a chilling true story, after all...

The movie, which premiered at last year's Toronto International Film Festival, currently has a score of 90% on Rotten Tomatoes. According to our own 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Woman of the Hour review, the film "is a🐈n acutely observed, well-judged, and original take on a popular genre."

Woman of the Hour arrives on Netflix on October 18. For more, check out our guide to the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Netflix movies to add to your watch list today.

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]> Director M. Nigh🎐t Shyamalan is alrꦿeady working on his next movie, just months after the release of his last. 

In a new Instagram post, Shyamalan celebrated the s☂uccess of Trap – 🎃and shared a tiny tease about what he's getting started on now. 

"As a ritual for each film, I pick a notebook that speaks to me and I write notes, ideas for the new film in that," he wrote. "When it’s overflowing with ideas, I go to outline the script. Thi🏅s is the notebook fo෴r movie 17! This bright red felt just right! As #Trapmovie passes 80 million in theaters, I am so grateful and begin the new one inspired by all the support you have given me over the years."

Trap stars Josh Hartnett as Cooper, a regular suburban dad who just so happens to be notorious serial killer the Butcher. He takes his daughter (Ariel Donoghue) to a concert for Lady Raven (Saleka Night Shyamalan), unaware that the whole thing isꦫ – you guessed it – a trap to catch the Butcher. 

"I made the decision to do it live," Shyamalan previously told us of the movie♏'s concert sequences. "Josh is performing and says his dialogue and there's a real concert going on. The lighting, the performance💎, the crowd, they're all genuinely reacting to what's happening."

There are no further details just yet on Shyamalan's next movie, but with recent years bringing us Knock at the Cabin, Old, Glass, and Split, we're sure we&apoꦿs;ll be in for a treat whenever it arrives. 

You can watch Trap in theaters now, or check out our guide to all the upcoming major 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:movie release dates to fill out yo𒊎ur watchlist for the rest of the year.

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]> Wolfs had its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival. Here's our review... 

"You fix things, right?" Yep, that is exactly what Brad Pitt and George Clooney’s unnamed characters do for a living in Jon Watts’ cucumber-cool crime caper. These two 'cleaners&aꦚpos; mop up other people’s sticky situations, but never the twain shall meet. Until, that is, both are called independently to take care of an increasingly complex job that begins in a New York hotel penthouse suite. There, Clooney arrives to find Amy Ryan’s DA Margaret in a distraught state: a twenty-something male is d🧜ead in the bedroom after slipping and falling. "He’s not a prostitute," she keeps saying, though no one believes her. 

Before long, in walks Pitt’s character, ♌also wearing blue disposable gloves and an air of smarm. He’s been hired by the hotel owner to brush this potential scandal under the carpet. And so, Pitt and Clooney are suddenly forced to work together. "I’m going to supervise," says Pitt, as he watches his rival start to move the body. Except that he too is sucked in when he discovers kilos ofꦍ drugs in the room. Oh, and the 'Kid', as he’s credited, is not dead. Played by Austin Abrams (Euphoria), this chattering student is the innocent patsy in a deadly situation. 

Who is setting whom up? That’s the big question, albeit one that doesn’t prove interesting enough to be the film’s driving force. Watts seems far more intrigued by reuniting Clooney and Pitt, very much riffing on their 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ocean’s Eleven c🌳harisma, as they bicker their way through the film like a married couple. Some moments work very well - notably one sequence on a subway train that suggests there is a little love between these two warhorses. Meanwhile, a safari-themed, cockroach-riddled motel room where they briefly hole up is guaranteed🀅 to raise smiles. 

There’s a sense Wolfs wants to be a latter-day Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, yet it never quite earns the poignancy of that Newman/Redford classic. But Watts - best known for the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Spider-Man: Homecoming trilogy - is a dab hand at action scenes, like the crazed chase through New York that ensues when the near-naked Kid wakes up and tries to make a run for it. Despite an amusing cameo from Zlatko Burić (澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Triangle of Sadness) as a major-league gangster celebrating his daughter’s nuptials, the finale descends into a generic shoot-out, with bullets sprayed hither and yon. But for those looking for an easy-on-the-eye, b🌄rain-in-neutral-thriller, Wolfs still hits the spot.

Wolfs is available to stream via Apple TV🐼꧒ Plus on September 27.

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]> "So, everybody's dead," Channing Tatum's tech billionaire Slater King says with a grin in the trailer for Zoë Kravitz's bold, brilliant directorial debut Blink Twℱice. While the promo – set to LCD Soundsystem's upbeat 'Dance Yrself Clean' – keeps its cards close to its chest as to the how and why, with that three-word line, it makes it clear most of its characters aren't going to make it to the end credits alive, and yet I was still gobsmacked as just how much of a horror movie it truly is.

Billed as everything from a psychological thriller to a dark comedy, the film follows cocktail waitress and aspiring nail artist Frida (Naomi Ackie), who's been ওitching to cross paths with King again, having shared a brief flirtation with him while working his annual gala the year before. In an attempt to get his attention, she and her best friend Jess (Alia Shawkat, on top, giggle-inducing form) swap their uniforms for silky dresses and infiltrate the party this time round – which leads to them to spend the evening with King and his fancy friends, before he whisks them all away to his private island.

At first, the vacation feels like a dream: private suites, pool days, and delicious multi-course dinners, followed by drug-fueled, dance-filled nights. Christian Slater'🐷s Vic gets irritable whenever he doesn't have an umbrellaed drink in-hand, Cody (Simon Rex) insists on call🌞ing Sarah (Adria Arjona) 'babe' despite her obvious disdain for the term, and everyone keeps stealing Jess's lighter, but who cares? 

The characters' joy is so infectious, you get swept up in it as a viewer. So much so, that the trip's more unsettling aspects, like the non-English speaking housekeeper who seems to recognize Frida, and the island's venomous snake problem, barely even register. When Jess suddenly disappears, Frida realizes she keeps losing huge chunks of time, and the film turns into a bloodsoaked nightmare, then, it completely knocks you for six. You mean to tell me that's what's been going on?!

Menacing Mike

It seems a little glib to say, but Blink Twice sees Kravitz weaponize her real-life fiancé Tatum's natural charm to devastating effect. The movie opens with Frida watching a video of King apologizing for his behavior, as he confirms he's stepped down as CEO from his company KingꦛTech – though what he did exactly is never divulged. Even so, that's all we need to know to assume he's probably Not a Good Dude, but much like Frida, we kind of forget about all that once he starts showering her with champagne, asking how she got the scar on her temple with caring curiosity, and making her laugh as they play kiss-chase on the lawn. It turns out, though, he's a wolf in sheep's clothing.

"I wanted Slater King to be somebody that the audience felt comfortable and safe with, whilst also ensuring it would make sense that Frida would want to drop everything and leave with him," K🅷ravitz recently told . "If you're going to leave w𒐪ith a stranger, you have to make that connection feel real, so the audience never questions why."

"[We] talked about lots of different versions of Slater," Tatum said at the LA premiere (via ). "The one thing that we both agreed upon is that we didn't 🎃want to do the very stereotypical movie moment in a thriller where you reveal the bad guy."

The last part seems🌞 crucial in achieving Kravitz's vision here. King isn't a supervillain per se, but he's a man with immense wealth and power, and, well, what hap🐼pens when all that goes to someone's head and twists their morality into something sinister.

Kravitz, �🍌�who co-wrote the script with E.T. Feigenbaum, does similarly clever work with some of the supporting characters, too, like Geena Davis's bumbling assistant Stacey and Levon Hawke's crypto whizzkid Lucas, who seem to represent those who witness, or even facilitate, gross abuses of power, through generational and gender-specific lenses.

Reality bites

So why did this film – one that admittedly made me chuckle and want to hop on Booking.com at the earliest possible convenience – leave me so shell-shocked? I'm a horror-loving gorehound who barely flinches at most things these days. But it's because Kravitz injects so many small, toe-curlingly relatable moments in amongst the magical realism. We're not dealing with demons, killer clowns, or🍸 sharks here, we're faced with evils that are terrifyingly human. Even when I've seen a genre movie in the cinema late at night, I walk the 30 minutes from the train station home; I'm pretty certain there are no ghosts and ghoulies lurking around Maidstone. After Blink Twice? I got a cab.

As Coraline's re-release hits cinemas, Henry Selick and Teri Hatc🌱her discuss why the Other Mother is still one of animation's scariest villains 15 years on

"I felt like there was a lot more that needed to be discussed, but there wasn't really a place to say these things, and it didn't feel safe to say them out loud," Kravitz told the , as she remembered starting to write the𒀰 script back in 2017, as the #MeToo movement looked to be simmering down. "So I started writing because I wanted to express these feelings and thoughts and because I wanted to try and highlight the absurdity of what society asks or expects of women."

Clearly inspired by what used to go o𓆉n on Jeffrey Epstein's Epstein Island, and other horrific true events, Kravitz has conjured up something that achieves the perfect balance between entertaining thrills and uncompromising, rageful message, which is no mean feat nowadays. Forgetting may be a "gift", as King suggests towards the end of Blink Twice, but I wonও't be shaking this one off any time soon.

<![CDATA[ Latest from GamesRadar+ in Thriller-movies ]]> Zoë Kravitz takes a thrilling leap from acting to directing with her searing feature debut. If Blink Twice falls just shy of the heady heights of Jordan Peele’s Get Out as a socially engaged and satirical thrille✱r, it plays very much in the same ballpark, dauntlessly taking on gender, class, and racial dynamics that are cruel and widespread.

Naomi Ackie plays down-on-her-luck waitress Frida, who accepts an invitation from tech billionaire Slater King (Channing Tatum) to jump on a private jet for a getaway at his stylishly appointed private island. This luxurious setting is populated by partygoers (and poisonous snakes), but from the first close-up on a reptilian face it becomes clear something is amiss. As fellow guest (and reality-TV star) Sarah (Hit Man’s Adri𓂃a Arjona) puts it after a few days: “I’m having a gre💞at time, but I also have this feeling that I’m like… not.”

Kravitz (who co-wrote with E.T. Feigenbaum) takes her time revealing precisely what is actually happening 🐼on the island, building up to a masterful twist that recontextualizes prior scenes and lends new meaning to small pieces of dialogue. 

The ch𒊎emistry between leads Ackie and Tatum is simply scintillating; what’s more, they receive pitch-perfect support from an idiosyncratic ensemble that includes Alia Shawkat, Simon Rex, and Christian Slater. The aforementioned play misfits who keep their motives close to their chests while still being people you would want to party with – particularly during an exquisitely timed, post-dinner ne🧔edle-drop of 'Young Hearts Run Free'. 

Above all, though, Blink Twice is an electrifying showcase for Kravitz, who is emerging as one of the most talented and socially aware Black women operating on a global stage. The influences of The Stepford Wives on plot and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Shining’s Overlook Hotel on set design are thoughtfully utilised, and even if the world portrayed is a dark place, the filmmaking on display dazz𝓰les.

Blink Twice is rel♕eased in UK cinemas and US theaters on August ♌23.
