Dear Sirs and Ladies.
Do any of you know of movies that have a similar feel to suspect zero (other then that creepy feeling that this movie is the answer to the question 'how bad can a Ben Kingsly + Carrie Anne Moss movie get?').
Silence of the lambs, dark side of humanity, what we wretched humans are really capable of, evil goverment plots to develop special talents, anything along those lines?
My kind thanks for you finite time.

If you want to see a great Ben Kingsley performance, check out Sexy Beast. It's a caper movie, but pretty intense. Check it out.

Along the serial killer lines, you've already mentioned Silence Of The Lambs. You might also want to see Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer. Identity was okay, but a little different (Ten Little Indians with a twist).

Thanks. I'll be sure to do that.

Don't forget Se7en. That was a pretty good serial killer film. Gacy was surprisingly good too and pretty accurate as far as biopics go.

The best film about a serial killer is Citizen X, its even got the goverment plot( soviet) you want as well.
Even more scary is the fact that its based on a true story of serial killer Andrei Chikatilo.

You're right on w/that mick65wolf ,I've seen pretty much everything in this genre ,but if I had to pick one I always come back to Citizen X ,it's simply the best & most realistic movie about serial killers ever made.

You are correct! A great movie!

Well, how about:

Plan 9 from Outer Space
Manos
Catwoman
Van Helsing
Alien versus Predator
Batman & Robin

They're all just as moronic and badly made, although the first two are much more entertaining and certainly nowhere near as boring as this tripe.

Watch "Memento". Its also a mental kind of movie. It has a similar feel to it: sometimes relaxed, sometimes creepy, a lot of times confused. Also has ideas about order and chaos.

This "FILM" is an absolute amateur remix between Se7en and Frailty...

A little guilt goes a long way...

It looked like a mix of Se7en and The Cell.

IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT YOU THINK...

I agree with Se7en, Frailty, and Saw. I also enjoyed Along Came a Spider. Love that Morgan Freeman.

[–] goodfellaok 20 years ago

how about The Usual Suspects?

[–] jimmyledbyvoices 20 years ago

A similar book is called "Thinning The Predators" by Jim Starling and Dana Graziunas. I thought this film was the movie of this book when I heard about it. The serial killer hunting serial killers plot is there but with a government conspiracy part thrown in. It's far superior to this film.

I'm surprised no one mentioned "the eyes of laura mars"

[–] waspfan33 13 years ago

IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT YOU THINK...

suspect zero was written a year before this also so sorry.

spectre can

suck it.

[–] dan073062 19 years ago

Try- The Ugly ,Session 9(more of a haunting but creepy) ,Minus Man ,Just Cause(if you haven't seen it already),Switchback is also good.

I tend to hate it when I see reviews of movies that say it's like movie x meets movie y, but I have to say that this movie reminded me of Silence of the Lambs meets X-Files.

[–] GrumpyBob 19 years ago

Most definitely pick up Se7en. But of course unless you've been living under a rock for the past decade, you probably have already seen that masterpiece...

I agree with most of the movies posted..... Not very many were left out... if you just enjoy the genre you may also like.... Kiss the Girls
