Influences

For our film opening our influences came from romantic thriller movies such as Unfaithful, directed by Adrian Lyne, which is about a woman who has everything but is tempted into a lustrous affair, which makes her husband fill with outrage and he ends up murdering her lover.

Basic Instinct, directed by Paul Verhoeven also influenced us as it is an American erotic thriller/ neo-noir film about murder and lust. With a man murdered during sex and the only suspect is a novelist who was the only person last seen with him, and was his girlfriend at the time. She is also suspected as his murderer, as the way her boyfriend was murdered was the same as a character was brutally murdered in one of her novels.
