Films like The Devil's Honey.

The Devil's Honey (1986) reads as Sombre, steady, measured erotic / thriller, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, cold. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
