There are not many writers who can completely thrill, traumatize, and even captivate their readers in the manner in which Stephen King has over the past few decades. And it is for the same reason, King’s novels have been adapted into several films, often with great success. Films such as The Shawshank Redemption, It, Carrie, The Shining, and The Green Mile have been lauded as some of the best book-to-film adaptations of all time. However, the 2007 film, The Mist, a sci-fi horror thriller, has not received the same recognition as the aforementioned titles. Read more

Films based on or inspired by true events rely heavily on the filmmaker’s approach and narrative style. After all, the makers are aware that they’re only telling a story that has already been told. Stripped from the opportunity to embellish facts for cinematic flourish, factual accuracy often eclipses the need to draft a compelling watch that actually triggers debate and discussion. Considering these limitations, Meghna Gulzar’s Talvar that’s based on the sensational Aarushi Talwar murder case that made headlines across the nation is equally gripping and as it is a faithful adaptation of real events, even if it doesn’t claim to be.

The success of a thriller often lies in its ability to translate fear, dread and tension across the screen.

Films about cars and racing have piqued the interest of global audiences for decades. The commercial success of the Fast and Furious franchise despite its glaringly obvious shortcomings reaffirms the notion that adrenaline-fuelled films about fast cars appeal to a wider demographic. However, the 2013 film, Rush, directed by Ron Howard, is an anomaly. Despite featuring stunning visuals, vibrant sound design by Hans Zimmer, excellent performances, and an engrossing screenplay, the film has faded away into obscurity in recent years. Read more

The world’s most popular sport, football, has produced captivating stories over the decades. From South America to Europe and to the Far East, inspirational stories about footballers, managers, and teams that broke barriers have reverberated across the world. But the story of football manager Brian Clough and his rise to the very top of English football is often less talked about outside the British Isles. The incredible stories of Sir Alex Ferguson, Sir Matt Busby, Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, and Sir Bobby Robson have been etched in football folklore, thanks to their association with global football clubs like Manchester United, Liverpool, and Barcelona. However, despite having never managed footballing powerhouses such as the aforementioned clubs, Brian Clough created history by taking relatively lesser-known clubs such as Derby County and Nottingham Forest from obscurity to title winners.

There’s something decidedly eerie about thrillers set in locations divorced from civilisation. The nature of the construct is such that one isn’t bound by societal rules. And that drives characters to resort to unimaginable acts, sometimes in an attempt to just survive. Amit Kumar’s chilling 2003 short The Bypass starring the likes of Nawazuddin Siddiqui and the late Irrfan Khan, takes us on a helluva ride and it’s our Lost and Found for today. Read more

Hollywood star Ben Affleck has quietly established himself as an accomplished screenwriter and filmmaker over the years with critical hits such as Good Will Hunting, Gone Baby Gone, and Argo. Apart from Argo, an Academy Award winner for Best Picture, Affleck's films have often focused on the Irish-Americans living in Massachusetts, drawing inspiration from the neighbourhoods in Boston close to where he grew up. One such movie is the 2010 film, The Town. Written, directed, and starring Affleck, the plot chronicles the lives of bank robbers from the town of Charlestown in Boston, which has earned a reputation of being America’s capital of bank robbers, a notion which has been disputed.
