Unlike the sci-fi or comedy genres, a film can fit into this corner of cinema if it manages to keep viewers on the edges of their seats with intense thrills and palpable suspense. As long as the movie is able to build tension, it s fair game. Of course, there are plenty of subgenres within, which filmmakers use to craft excellent thrillers, from war-time stories like
The Hurt Locker to social allegories like

Predictability is the last thing audiences want out of their entertainment, so most stories contain at least some element of surprise. And nothing uses the concept to its advantage quite like the classic whodunit. A challenge for the filmmaker and the viewer alike, this particular subgenre keeps viewers guessing until the final reveal and, furthermore, uses that guesswork as a basis upon which to tell its story.
But what is a whodunit, exactly? Merriam-Webster defines it as a detective story or mystery story. The Oxford Reference dates the term back to the 1930s and describes it as a story or play about a murder in which the identity of the murderer is not revealed until the end.

This is not a new development, nor is it a revelation.
This is a government that has in recent decades unleashed untold horrors upon the world including its own citizenry in the name of global conquest, the acquisition of greater wealth, scientific experimentation, and technological advances, all packaged in the guise of the greater good.
Mind you, there is no greater good when the government is involved. There is only greater greed for money and power.
Unfortunately, the public has become so easily distracted by the political spectacle out of Washington, DC, that they are altogether oblivious to the grisly experiments, barbaric behavior and inhumane conditions that have become synonymous with the U.S. government.
