There's an outstanding episode of Black Mirror called Crocodile, that explores this idea.
- IIAOPSW 4y agoI saw that episode and I hated it precisely because it didn't really explore the idea. There was this profound, interesting, thought provoking premise which it completely relegated to the background in favor of an unchallenging police procedural.
- arolihas 4y agoAnd then how it ends with the guinea pig, ugh. That show became so disappointing. So many interesting premises just wasted.
- rzzzt 4y agoThe Cell is also vaguely related: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0209958/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0209958/ ...but if it's no longer restricted to the visual cortex and they can extract the kind of horrific imagery as in the movie, I don't really want to see it.
- KineticLensman 4y agoI really like this film, especially with my photography hat on. A lot of the imagery taken from the mind of the serial killer is actually based on surrealist art, and some of the cinematography is superb, e.g. the sequences filmed in the Namibian desert
- r721 4y agoTarsem Singh's next movie The Fall is visually similar (though in another genre), so watch it too if you didn't already: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0460791/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0460791/
- KineticLensman 4y agoThanks, it's now on my watchlist
- rzzzt 4y agoFrom the aesthetic/cinematography side of things, it did stick with me for a long time; I haven't re-watched it since the early naughties and I do remember lots of scenes. It is just hard to take in that some people might experience a similar internal imagery and the very slight possibility exists that they also act upon it.
