Films like Watch Me When I Kill.

Watch Me When I Kill (1977) reads as Sombre, kinetic, measured giallo / revenge, 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.
