Sounds creepy - is this something that would keep me awake with its horror??

Well, it's not a horror movie, although there is some blood. I don't think it's particularly gory, but there is definitely violence.

To me, it's "creepy" because it portrays a dark side of human nature. And Jake Gyllenhaal is so good at playing someone who lacks empathy and is all about advancing his own agenda. His face... he maintains this wide-eyed, non-blinking look throughout the movie. His handsome features completely disappear, even without special effects or makeup.

The movie is tense. It's tightly edited and gripping from beginning to end. I highly recommend it, but it's not a "fun" movie! It's something that makes you think. When certain things happen in the media, I often think back to this movie.

@Tallulah_B was the show on cable or local TV?

I watched it via Netflix ..

I can say there was never a dull moment ... you are totally 'engaged' throughout the complete film.

@luvsgrtdanes - likely on cable tv

Last night it was 'The Gymnast' ..

Jury is out on that one, but, I feel VERY out of shape !!!!!!!!!!!!

We watched '' The Pardon'' based on a true story...very good

Beautiful but tormented, Toni Jo Henry (Jaime King) gains notoriety while standing trial for murder in 1940s Louisiana.

Did you all catch last night's episode of the X-Files? Probably one of the funniest X-Files episodes ever, definitely in the top three. I LOVED it!

Oh not yet! will watch it later...then lucifer

I haven't watched Lucifer yet. There's just so much good scifi and so little time!

Tonight is the season finale of The Expanse, which is on the SyFy network. It's an epic drama with a deep mythology, kind of like Battle Star Galactica.

It's based on a series of books (I've read one of them), so the story is dense and it's hard to keep track of all of the characters at first. You have to really pay attention, especially if you're bad at remembering names like I am.

Aww, I would have loved to see that, if it is like BSG! Too bad, I don't have Syfy network I still have to watch Heroes Reborn too! Thankfully this one is on the free on demand.

Finally watched X-files and Lucifer..as always loved it!! At first I was getting frustrated, for some reason ATT uverse does not have the episodes uploaded on free on demand..they did it the first time, don't know what's wrong with them! Finally got around it..through the Fox app with Xbox!

We watched Nightcrawler last night, since it was mentioned in this thread...indeed..thought provoking, not the feel good movie, but it did keep me engaged to the end of the movie.

I was cracking up! 😂

I watched an episode of The Affair, it wasn't what I expected, it was better! 😉👍

Castle .. for lack of anything better to watch, there was a CASTLE marathon on last night on the Sci-Fi channel .. I made it through one !

Do you remember the San Bernardino shootings a few months back? Reporters pressured the couple's landlord into opening up the their apartment and a gaggle of reporters stormed in, filming everything from the baby's crib to the grandmother's social security card. I immediately thought of Nightcrawler.

Tarev, I think FOX.com uploads their shows online the morning day after they air, but the downside is you have to watch it on a computer monitor.

SS .. Night crawler territory for sure !!

Years ago I watched a movie called .. I think .. 'THE CROWD' .. very similar, but with a different twist ..
Just looked it up .. that's not the name
Anyway .. it was bordering on sci fi .. there would be an accident (serious) and a crowd would appear .. but no one could see them but the people who had been injured ..
NOW I'm on a mission, unless someone else can remember seeing it, and, the title ?

There is a Ray Bradbury episode that sounds like what you're describing.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt06...

SS, I know Fox uploads immediately online the next day..I just hate to watch on my lappie, I get annoyed when the streaming lags...I prefer on our tv. But that's okay now..I saw the Fox app om Xbox..solved!

Watched ' SURVIVOR' (the movie) last night ,.. Pierce Brosnan, Dylan McDermott, Milla Jovovich ...
Good flick .. Brosnan did a good job of playing the part of a cold hearted sniper ..

I'd give it an 8 !
