Hi there,

I hope my title as well as the examples shown in the picture get the idea across of what I’m looking for. Doesn’t matter what the genre is, I am just looking for movies which are shot in this grim lighting.

Also, for fun, try and guess which movies the pictures come from.

Answer

Suspiria (2018)

Black Swan

The Road

    ‘Dark City’ count?

    ‘Paper Man’ is pretty depressing that I remember and I think it’s tone is overall cloudy except for a few bits.

        Ok, in that case, ‘Sucker Punch’ is gloomy as fuck. Best to watch the extended cut of that for proper context.

        ‘Watchmen’, ‘A Scanner Darkly’, ‘Above the Shadows’, ‘The Matrix’, and the Blade Runner flicks.

        All I can think of at the moment.

    Judge Dredd

    Ink (2009) (an… interesting low budget film that does pull off alot visually speaking). It’s hard hard to explain but the depth/tones, both acoust and visually, of the scenes is used to convey plot elements that become clearer as time goes on.

    Metalhead episode of Black Mirror. Not a movie but definitely along the lines of what you’re describing

    The Road and Angela’s Ashes. Actually, unless it’s a comedy or a cartoon saloon production most Irish movies fall into this category. I’m thinking of the wind that shakes the barley, black 47, Michael Collins, the crying game, and kind of on in the name of the father. There are many more.

    Skinamarink is pretty much dark the whole runtime (shot in a dark house). But definitely isn’t for everyone.
