This is another feature co-written with my colleague and pal Phil De Semlyen. It’s a guide to the ‘From Hell’ thriller subgenre: those films in which a character obsessively infiltrates someone else’s life – think Fatal Attraction (the one night stand from Hell), Single White Female (the roommate from Hell), The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (the nanny from Hell), Pacific Heights (the tenant from Hell)… and so on. The news that prompted this one was the release of the trailer for Joel Egerton’s The Gift.
