Zodiac (2007)
Well told account of a determined detective's attempts to crack one of the most mysterious cases in modern crime – the fearsome Zodiac Killer. Homicidal psychopaths don't get much more frightening than this.
Copycat (1996)
S.C.A.R.Y. Oh my gosh, this one truly terrified me. Criminal psychologist becomes entangled in the deadly mind game of a vicious copycat serial killer. Brilliantly cast thriller, they don't come much more convincing than this.
Kalifornia (1993)
Starts out promising, when hick couple catch a ride with trendy couple researching grisly murder sites. However it progressively goes down hill and boarders on the silly. Pitt does a nice job at playing the hill–billy from hell though.
Seven (Se7en) (1995)
A diabolical serial killer stages grisly murders, choosing victims representing the seven deadly sins. Well crafted cinematography, white–knuckle suspense and some truly stomach–turning scenes.
Single White Female (1992)
Successful professional woman meets the flatmate from hell. Scary enough thriller but some scenes are overdone and become a little comical.
Dolores Claiborne (1995)
Dolores is a complex character, and as her relationship with her daughter unfolds she becomes even more intriguing. An excellent mystery/drama with twists and turns that definitely keeps you guessing.
Misery (1990)
An obsessed fan/nurse holds her favourite author prisoner after rescuing him after a car accident. Suspenseful stuff, that'll have you on the edge of your seat.
Mystic River (2003)
A chilling mystery revolving around three boyhood friends in working–class Boston, all drawn together by a crime from the past and a murder in the present. Complex and dark, but very well cast and directed.
Dead Man Walking (1996)
Inspired by the true story of a nun's relationship with a death–row killer she tries to save. Compelling insight into the depths of a dark soul's character, and issue of capital punishment. Honest, graphic, and exceptional performances.
Shawshank Redemption, The (1994)
Story of an innocent middle–class banker given life for murdering his wife, who befriends a fellow inmate and embarks on a truly remarkable escape. Emotional tale of injustice, but nicely depicts the life–long friendship of the two main characters.
