This July, Netflix adds Red eyeOne of the best chargers I have ever seen, and only a month shy of the 20th anniversary of the film.
At the time Red eye was released on August 19, 2005, Director Wes Craven He was at his career and tried to venture beyond horror land.
Nightmare on Elm Street and the Scream Movies made Craven a horror legend, but Red eye was his opportunity to show his abilities without falling back to his old bag of tricks. He succeeded, creating an everlasting thriller that still catches up in 2025.

Rachel McAdams and Cillian Murphy still establish themselves as stars when they co-led Red eyeAnd the film depends on the chemistry and tension they brought to the screen.
Mcadams plays the role of Lisa Reisert, a woman whose fellow aircraft, Jackson Rippner (Murphy), has a sinister intentions if she doesn’t help her murder a high profile target. Most of the story takes place on the flight, and that’s one of the reasons why Red eye so lively. Revealing more would ruin the fun, but take my word for it, Red eye is a claustrophobic thriller that takes a wild third act turn you don’t see.

By keeping the action of the film largely included in one location, Red eye Constantly in conjunction with the intensity for Lisa as she tries to go out under Jackson’s control. The leverage has Jackson over Lisa includes the fate of her father, Joe (Brian Cox), and that leaves her scrambling to find a way to stop Jackson and save her father’s life at the same time.
Although the Lisa plane journey from hell inevitably ends inevitably, many of the film’s best scenes take place there. Gave that Red eye A unique hook that separates it from other chargers.

Last women are usually the heroines who live through the end of a horror movie. Craven created more than a little during his long career, but Lisa may be his first daughter to go beyond the horror genre. Mcadams was perfectly cast for her ability to project vulnerability and strength during her performance as Lisa. The film also reveals why Lisa will not just give up to Jackson’s requirements, but that is a scene that we are not going to spoil here.
Mcadams plays Lisa differently before she goes on the plane, as her encounter with Jackson at the airport appears as a ROM-Com start. The toner movement of everything that happens afterwards required McAdams to move her performance as well, and she remains credible throughout. As far as we are concerned, she is an honorable last girl, up there with other Craven heroines as Nightmare on Elm Street‘s nancy and Scream‘s Sidney.

Nearly two decades before Murphy claimed his Oscar for the best actor at Oppenheimer’sHe hadn’t had a real exhibition about what he could do as an actor. By this point he had starred 28 days later and appeared like a scarecrow in Batman starts. Those were very good movies, but Red eye Allowed Murphy to take things to a new level like Jackson, one of the most scary villains he has ever played.
There is a subtle change early in the film when Jackson goes from a one -night Potential Flirty stand to Lisa’s obvious threat, but she doesn’t find it until she has already caught up in her web. All his subsequent scenes establish Jackson as a villain who can complement the threats he makes towards Lisa and her father. He is not a supernatural murderer, but he does not have to be one to be truly threatening. Instead, Jackson is a vigilant villain who always takes the time to assert his dominion over Lisa. But that may be his fall.
