    The notable thing about modern streaming services is that most films and TV are functionally no different from AI slop. I put on a second-tier Steven Soderbergh film, Unsane (2018) (shot on an iPhone 7) on in the background, and it's superior to most of the trash out there on every possible level

    Anne Bancroft was at the top of her game in The Pumpkin Eater, with a cryptic screenplay by Harold Pinter. Finally caught up with Unsane, starring Clare Foy who is locked up in a paranoid nightmare of perfect edgy horror - my film of the week. #letterboxdFriday #lastfourwatched #letterboxd #filmsky

    Unsane (2018) Shot entirely with an iPhone 7 camera, this film by Steven Soderbergh was both thrilling and depressing. Despite the film being mainly about a woman being stalked by her stalker at an asylum, it's also a deep dive into how unethical American businesses can be.

If you're scared by gaslighting, kidnapping and stalking, like I am, this is a very scary movie

    69/100 A stalking victim seeks counseling and inadvertently commits herself into a mental institution. The more she tries to convince them she's sane, the worse it gets. Then she starts seeing her stalker. This film works really well at placing the viewer in this situation and filling them with a sense of dread and despair. That feeling of helplessness is palpable as the situation becomes more complicated and dire. Of course, that's what makes the ending all the more rewarding, doesn't it? Well…

    'Unsane' was unsurprisingly good. knowing roughly what kind of movie it was, I had already worked out in my mind a series of plot beats and twists, but instead the story did its own thing and I enjoyed that very much. I'll have to see more of Claire Foy, that's for sure.

    Actually the earliest movie in which a detective sees a clue reflected in the eye of the victim on video (meaning a video recording, not just directly in the eye) is likely the 1982 Italian giallo film Tenebrae (also known as Tenebre or Unsane in some releases) directed by Dario Argento.

    Unsane was called timely on release, a 'film for the MeToo era', but as Claire Foy said then: "The concern about saying it's 'of the moment' means it's not something that people have been struggling with or thinking about for a really long time." Eight years after it was shot, still 'of the moment'.
