Only Murders in the Building is a good, old-fashioned murder mystery in every possible way: It’s gripping, but also oddly cozy; its tense moments are broken by witty lines that actually make you laugh out loud; its characters feel like real, fully-formed people, but they also have some of the most preposterously funny names ever uttered out loud on television.Please see the following little blurb about the latest season to see what I mean: After solving murder of Ben Glenroy after the opening night of Death Rattle (which later became the musical, Death Rattle Dazzle), the OMITB trio, Mabel Mora,...

If you’re a fan of a good whodunnit, there’s no shortage of fantastic options for you to choose from. I’ve read my fair share of mysteries over the years, and I’ve always been impressed by how versatile the genre can be. Sure, someone always dies, and someone always investigates, but mystery novels can transport you to alternate timelines, take you into the minds of frightening killers, and keep you up for hours with intensely compelling plots.

A brand-new version of Freddy Krueger has emerged from the dream world. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) is a bona fide classic. Though it enjoyed numerous follow-ups — five sequels, a spinoff, a crossover movie, a reboot of the 1984 film, and even a television series — none of those films hold a candle to Wes Craven’s landmark horror (except for 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, which is awesome).

It’s true that for the last few decades, the Westerns have become less popular even though there are still occasional hits theatrically and its influence is everywhere. Kevin Costner’s recent attempt to bring the genre back to the big screen failed, but it’s admirable that there are still filmmakers who want to keep the old-school westerns alive in theatres and not just on Taylor Sheridan’s shows. Then again, obviously, the genre is more than just traditional/old-school kind. Many filmmakers put their own twist on the formula, and this list aims to have them all: from character-driven dramas to genre-blending tales.

Mindhunter is arguably one of Netflix’s best-ever original series and one that fans continue to ask to return. Flooding the Internet, in fact, are fan-made posters for a third season that sadly isn’t in the works. What has struck fans about Mindhunter is the fascinating story based on the real-life team that coined the term “serial killer.” Yes, it’s interesting to recall that there was once a time when repeat, ritualistic killers didn’t have an all-encompassing descriptive term to categorize them.

In the pantheon of American serial killers, Henry Lee Lucas will always stand out. The way he matter-of-factly confessed to countless depraved acts, to the freewheeling way he would confess to crimes he likely didn’t commit (law enforcement from around the country would feed him details to clear their unsolved cases, Lucas, recognizing he had literally nothing to lose, would just ask for a cheeseburger and a shake in return for a confession). An “inspired by” film, from first (and apparently only) time director Mark Blair, Confessions of a Serial Killer, hits blu-ray from Unearthed Classics.

The acid Western is a revisionist subgenre that blends the traditional elements of Westerns with the surreal, psychedelic, and countercultural themes of the 1960s and '70s. This was an era where authority was called into question by events like the Vietnam War; themes that shine through strongly in most acid Westerns. Unlike the classics of the genre, which tend to glorify frontier life and rugged individualism, the acid Western usually deconstructs these myths, presenting a darker, more disillusioned view of the Old West.

The murder mystery TV genre has a huge flaw built into its DNA: how do its protagonists keep stumbling on dead bodies? If the main character is an actual detective either with the police, like in Columbo, or a private detective, like in Moonlighting, this can be avoided because it’s part of the job description. But with amateur detectives, a lot of narrative gymnastics need to happen. For example, in the entirety of Murder, She Wrote a total of 274 murders occur for mystery novelist Jessica Fletcher to solve, despite her town of Cabot Cove only having 3500 residents.
