Films like The Killer Reserved Nine Seats.

The Killer Reserved Nine Seats (1974) reads as Heavy, steady, measured giallo / theatre, 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.
