Who doesn’t love a good thriller?

The Name of the Rosemight just be one of the most visually striking and atmospheric medieval films ever.

When the errand fails, Ripley takes extreme measures.

ThoughThe Talented Mr.RipleyinspiredThe Room, one of the worst movies ever, that can hardly be held against it.

Excellently written and directed, it’s a legendary period thriller that fans of the genre shouldn’t miss.

It’s about Carlos, a 12-year-old whose dad died in the Spanish Civil War.

It’sa beautiful yet terribly sad film, balancing its creepy tone and hard-hitting anti-fascist political allegory flawlessly.

WithThe Handmaiden, Park proved that erotic thrillers don’t have to be superficial.
