Do you prefer to know who the killer is breh???

[AllHolosEve]

I got a movie where they make it clear who the psycho killer is within 5 minutes of him arrivin & he helps them out... its a different vibe cause every time dude does somethin im like "Run bytch, Run" plus he all nice & calm so im like "Don't trust him, he lying" "Don't go in that dark hallway"

some people like movies where you gotta figure out who the killer is but this shyt was crazy cause you know this innocent lookin dude a psycho & he playin everybody else... they be like "lets split up" you be like ....

 

[no.]

What movie is it?

I think both formats can work (there's a difference between terror and suspense), but I prefer mystery. Keeps your attention stuck on the characters' every word, searching for clues. Plus there's way more room for plot twists.

I prefer to know who the killer is so we can study the killer more than the detectives...if done with originality (like hannibal tv show), examining the mind of a killer in a movie is powerful and engaging

Memories of murder was dope and we never know

 

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

know who it is from the jump, and them trying to figure it out is fun and hilarious to watch. like on criminal intent if its done right it can also be a bunch of bullshyt if dont horribly like any new svu episode


but then when you only know as much as the main character its not as funny but trying to solve that puzzle is something else

Guessing games are distracting.

Nah i like who dunnits like Scream

i tend to guess who the killer is within the first couple minutes anyway. alot of movies make it so obvious. its almost always the random guy who snarls at someone or bumps into the main character at the beginning of the movie.

the movie Saw is what originally got me on that..i guessed the killer the second he was on camera and noticed that method was used in a shytload of other movies. it ruins movies for me and anyone i'm watching with lol

Letting audiences know who the killer is keeps the screenwriters honest with their howdunnits, and better separates the talented ones from the asspullers and bullshytters.

Exactly.
