Dead Calm (1989)


I'd be very surprised if Knife didn't influence this film. I saw Dead Calm first liked it immensely, when I saw Knife I saw many similarities. Knife is arguably a purer psychological study and a classic, Dead Calm is a sort of commercialised Hollywood adaptation, it's the sort of film I imagine Polanski would have made had he stayed in Hollywood.

This is exactly what I was checking the message boards to see. Haven't seen Knife yet. Always liked Dead Calm but I am very excited to watch Knife now. Thanks!
