Similar products: films.

Looking for films, that are similar by theme to our thriller - is actually quite helpful, as you get a sense of confidence that your product has a place on the market, especially if the previous films with the similar idea had a bit of a success.


'Sleeping with the enemy'

 
'Julia Roberts and serious drama may not exactly go hand-in-hand. On top of that, this movie tends to veer into "not so good" territory. But there are several scenes that are downright frightening, as the story of a woman who faked her death to escape her abusive husband only to have her husband track her down, takes center stage. Julia's demented husband is relentless in his pursuit, and his scenes of interrogation while he looks for his estranged wife suggest that life with him may have been a real Hell.'


'Burning Bed'

''For its time, this movie tackled an issue that many people were uncomfortable talking about, leading many women to suffer in silence. Based on the true story of abuse victim Francine Hughes, who suffered thirteen years of abuse, this movie is about the night she set fire to her husband as he slept. She was later found not guilty by reason of temporary insanity. The bruises on her face were reason enough to justify her actions.'


'What's love got to do with it?'

The story of Ike and Tina Turner has been well-documented. Tina eventually plucked up the courage and strength to leave Ike, the man who had helped elevate her music career. In the process, Ike robbed her not only of every penny she had earned, but also had robbed her of her humanity. There are a number of scenes in the movie that make for tough viewing, but Ike's brutal beating of his wife in the back of a car stands out in particular.

'Private Violence'

  
'Private Violence' is a 2014 American documentary film directed and produced by Cynthia Hill. The film is a gripping story of domestic violence survivors. A domestic-violence victim turns advocate to seek justice for all violence survivors. The film premiered in the U.S. Documentary Competition program at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival on January 19, 2014, and it ended up winning the Candescent Award!'

'Love, Honour and Disobey'

 
'Domestic violence in all forms—from physical abuse to forced marriages to honour killings—continues to be frighteningly common worldwide and accepted as “normal” within too many societies. Getting to the heart of current multicultural debates, ‘Love, Honour and Disobey’ reveals the issues around domestic violence in Britain’s black and ethnic minority communities through the eyes of the Southall Black Sisters, a small group of women who have been working to combat abuse for more than 25 years.'

Overall, all of those films are only similar with what we're planning to do by the main idea: domestic violence and women abuse.
However, most of them are not what we're planning to do in terms of camera work + most of them are documentaries, whether we are filming a thriller film.
