If you loved Killer Joe, try Cruising
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 Killer Joe, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Cruising is
West Village. Night fog. Leather on wet asphalt. A body discovered near the piers. Then another. An undercover cop descends into a world of hidden codes and mirrored darkness to stop the slayings. Friedkin's most notorious film is still potent as social nightmare.
