If you loved Cruising, try Killer Joe
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by William Friedkin, and they both carry the dread, neon soaked mood tags, and they sit in Crime / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Cruising, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Killer Joe is
Texas, summer, a trailer home's creaky door. A family's dark plan unfolds, a cop's double life entwines with their fate. Friedkin makes the sleaze feel palpable.
