With Chaos, Hideo Nakata proves that as well as scaring the heebie-jeebies out of his audiences with horror classics like 'Ring' and 'Dark Water' he can also carry his own with the best psychological thrillers. A woman hires a local handyman to kidnap her and leave her tied up in a friend's apartment. When he returns from collecting the ransom the woman is dead and a sinister phone call tells him to dump the body or risk capture by the police. Hitchcockian in both tone and content, Chaos twists find out more...

The only flaws in their plan are the company's reluctance to pay out so much, the diligence of Neff's increasingly suspicious colleague, (and his 'little man'), and the exemplary ruthlessness of Ph find out more...

Stunningly filmed in black and white, this classic slice of surrealist cinema is both touching and terrifying.

An excellent black comedy, handsome thriller and a tall story that keeps you guessing as it unwinds. The genuinely ridiculous plot (a man pays a couple of goons to 'pretend' to kidnap his wife in order to get his paws on his in-laws' 'ransom' money) is completely credible as mighty plans fall apart, spiralling ever more beyond the protagonist's control and leaving us marvelling at the complex stupidity of human nature. A modern classic.

Mayhem-filled road movie from the director of "Accion Mutante" and "Day of the Beast". Perdita Durango (Rosie Perez) likes to live life on the edge, and that's putting it mildly.

A masterful adaptation of David Peace's Ellroy-esque noir trilogy. In '1974', the first chapter, a rookie journalist looks to solve the increasingly vexing case of a serial killer on the loose. A bleak vision of corruption in an emphatically isolated 'North', which raises the game for levels of darkness in TV drama. Andrew Garfield gives a captivating performance as the idealistic journalist in way over his head. Highly recommended. find out more...
