Carol, This is a great question that makes us all reconsider issues of "intensity" in films. Given the films you cite as examples, I would also suggest the following: The Machinist Amores Perros Hostel Kuraingu furîman / Crying Freeman (1988)... seems to inspire a lot of them Shoot 'Em Up Heaven (Tykwer's 2002 film) Saw (given much attention, but rather lame as a franchise) Just keep cross-referencing the movies your feel are part of this style on IMDb or other websites-- which our students do for "research"-- and you will find many more.

My best way of finding out about these films has been through asking my students, but they've run out of suggestions. Would you be willing to tell me which films you admire?
