Strange Days is a scifi crime thriller that is almost literally psychological: the story is facilitated by a small device that, when placed on the head, records the wearer's experiences and allows others to relive them in full five-senses immersion, as if the memories are their own. "Set in the year 1999 during the last days of the old millenium, the movie tells the story of Lenny Nero, an ex-cop who now deals with data-discs containing recorded memories and emotions. One day he receives a disc which contains the memories of a murderer killing a prostitute. Lenny investigates and is pulled deeper and deeper in a whirl of blackmail, murder and rape. Will he survive and solve the case?" It's set in Los Angeles and weaves through themes of voyeurism, police brutality, sadism and racism that feels more grounded and authentic than a lot of regular crime dramas I've seen.

Bag of Sun Chips posted:After watching the trailer for "Clown", it got me thinking - there aren't many horror movies where a good person slowly turns into evil due to some external force. Can anybody recommend some movies that have that sort of premise? The Amityville Horror, and now that I think about it DOOM also qualifies, heh.

Sounds like the CSIs: NYC/Miami crossover to me. I'm in.
