Much of what we take for granted in the suspense, thriller, and even horror genres began with film noir, a unique genre of film that began – believe it or not – almost 70 years ago. And if you want to see ten of the very best from that first wave: here you go.
It’s all about the shadows. Not just the (essential) black-and-white photograph and all that gray light. It’s about the shadows in human beings as well: suspicion, greed, broken promises, lust. You know: shadows.
Some of these films you’ve probably heard of: Double Indemnity, Touch of Evil, The Gun for Hire. Others may be new to you: The Blue Dahlia, Criss Cross. Doesn’t matter. They are all dark diamonds, and if you love modern-day suspense films, you have got to see these. No! No arguments! You have to! And now you can get the whole set of ten for a ridiculously low price, right here.
The list:
- Double Indemnity
- Touch of Evil
- This Gun for Hire
- The Glass Key
- Phantom Lady
- The Blue Dahlia
- Black Angle
- The Killers
- The Big Clock
- Criss Cross
You simply won’t find a better film noir collection. Period. End of story. So come on: time to step into the shadows.
