This July, Netflix is adding Red eyeOne of the best thrillers I’ve ever seen, and it’s just a timid month of the movie’s twentieth anniversary.
At that time Red eye It was launched on August 19, 2005, director Wes Craven He was in the twilight of his career and tried to venture beyond the kingdoms of horror.
A nightmare on Elm Street and the Scream The movies made Craven a horror legend but Red eye It was his opportunity to prove his skills without falling back to his old trick bag. He was successful, creating a timeless thriller that still remains in 2025.

Rachel McADAMS and Cillian Murphy were still set as stars when they were headed Red eyeAnd the film is based on the chemistry and tension they brought to the screen.
McADAMS plays Lisa Reisert, a woman whose aircraft seat, Jackson Rippner (Murphy), has sinister intent if she does not help her to kill a high profile goal. Most of the story takes place in the flight, and this is one of the reasons why Red eye It is so riveted. To reveal -more, I would be damaging the fun but takes my word, Red eye It is a claustrophobic thriller that makes a wild twist in third act that you will not see.
It has been a little dry year for thrillers in Netflix, but the genre is apparently in the season in the beginning of summer. Copycat, a thriller starring Sigourney Weaver and Holly Hunter, celebrates its 30th anniversary when entering the 10 best popular Netflix films.

Maintaining the action of the movie largely in a single location, Red eye It constantly adds Lisa’s intensity while trying to get out of Jackson’s control. Jackson’s leverage has on Lisa implies the fate of his father, Joe (Brian cox), and this leaves her to search for a way to frustrate Jackson and save her father’s life at the same time.
Although Lisa’s plane from Hell inevitably ends, many of the best scenes in the movie take place there. He gave Red eye A unique hook that separates it from the other thrillers.

End girls are usually the heroines who live until the end of a horror movie. Craven created more than a few during his long career, but Lisa can be his first final girl to transcend the horror genre. McADAMS was perfectly issued by his ability to project vulnerability and strength during his performance as Lisa. The film also reveals why Lisa will not simply give up Jackson’s demands, but this is a scene that we will not spoil here.
Horror is having a mini-ren in theaters in 2025, especially since sinners do well in theaters and delay their inevitable leap to transmission. In the meantime, there is a lot of fear of fear to enjoy the comfort of your house through the most popular streaming services. Hulu, for example, has strangers, in (…)
McADAMS interprets Lisa differently before he gets on the plane, as his meeting with Jackson at the airport looks like the beginning of a rum-com. The tonal change of everything that happens after this required McADAMS to change its performance, and remains credible for all time. As for A nightmare on Elm Street‘S nancy and ScreamSidney.
Cillian Murphy is a terrifying villain

Almost two decades before Murphy claimed his Oscar to the best actor of OppenheimerHe had not had a real showcase for what he could do as an actor. At this point he had starred in 28 days after and appeared as a scarecrow at Batman begins. These were very good movies but Red eye It allowed Murphy to bring things to a new level like Jackson, one of the most intimidating villains he has ever played.
There is a subtle change in the movie when Jackson goes from night night’s potential to a obvious threat to Lisa, but he does not perceive it until he has not been trapped in his network. All his scenes established Jackson as a villa who can back up the threats he makes with Lisa and his father. He is not a supernatural killer, but he does not have to be one to be truly threatening. Instead, Jackson is an ultra-vigilant vile who always takes time to affirm his dominance over Lisa. But that can be its fall.
Red eye will be transmitted Netflix On July 1.
