 | Manhunter 1986 The Predator's Mind, the Investigator's Soul
Manhunter is one of those films that, even decades later, continues to breathe with an icy, hypnotic intensity. The first cinematic adaptation of Thomas Harris’s novel Red Dragon, Michael Mann’s film is a psychological thriller that shuns genre conventions to explore, with patience and precision, the darkness shared between hunter and prey.
Unlike many police thrillers, Manhunter focuses less on action and more on inner tension. William Petersen plays Will Graham, an FBI profiler gifted—or cursed—with the ability to completely immerse himself in the minds of the killers he hunts.... Read More |
 | Presence 2024 A Haunting Whisper in the Void of the Ordinary
With Presence, Steven Soderbergh returns to the supernatural thriller genre with a film that is as much a stylistic exercise as it is an exploration of trauma and absence. Eschewing jump scares and loud narratives, the director crafts an intimate horror experience that slowly seeps under the viewer's skin, evoking a deep, almost physical unease.

 | The Autopsy of Jane Doe 2016 The Autopsy of Jane Doe is a small gem of contemporary horror cinema, a film that manages to combine classic suspense with an intelligent use of the supernatural. Directed by Norwegian filmmaker André Øvredal, the film sits halfway between forensic thriller and occult nightmare, maintaining a claustrophobic and refined tension throughout most of its runtime.
The story unfolds almost entirely in a morgue, where a father and son (Brian Cox and Emile Hirsch, both in top form) are tasked with examining the body of a young woman found mysteriously intact at a scene of brutal carnage. It is precisely the paradox between the apparent... Read More |
 | Presencias 2022 Presencias is a supernatural thriller that blends classic gothic aesthetics with a modern, psychologically unsettling narrative. Set in an isolated house deep in the woods, the film plays on the duality between what is seen and what is hidden—aptly hinted at by the striking poster, where a mirrored image reveals the disturbing element: an upside-down figure, symbolizing a world turned inside out, where reality loses all certainty.
Luis Mandoki’s direction—known for his emotionally resonant touch even in tense dramas—serves the tone of psychological horror well here, with an atmosphere thick with suspense and a haunting score... Read More |
