Stir of Echoes is an awesome movie 10x scary and intense than The Sixth Sense.

I wouldn't say 10x scarier, but I liked it better.

Kathryn Erbe has a frightening look to her. I don't mean she's unattractive either. There's something about the way she looks that makes it easy for a director to suggest an evil presence through her face.

Chicago Cab is decent. Used to be shown on IFC often when it was in its infancy.

I've never seen it, but it was filmed on my block. It was an uncooperative winter like this one, so they had to bring in snow. Payback is a pretty good one, though I don't think it's all Chicago. Next of Kin is a great one for pre-gentrification Uptown.

It's worth noting again that not only will most of my movies be Chicago-centric, but all of my characters will always be named after streets of Chicago. Thomas, Chanay, Leonard, and Colfax are all on the grid.
