Director Wes Craven created a scary, stylish cat-and-mouse thriller that unleashed the full star power of Rachel McAdams and Cillian Murphy.

Shot with crisp photography inside the claustrophobic cabins of a night flight, Craven heightened the tension through intimate confrontations between McAdams' unwitting heroine and Murphy's icy villain.

Murphy stepped into the skin of sociopath Jackson Rippner with haunting charisma, a silky performance hinting that darkness will spill in if our hero doesn't accede to his disturbing demands.

McAdams met her intensity with ferocity, showing fight when all hope seemed lost, cementing herself as a formidable feminist protagonist. Her compassion sustains the growing threat.

Within these confines, Craven gave free rein to his imagination, creating horror sequences that left the audience guessing how far these characters might go.

Red Eye, with its tight plotting and stylish visuals, was a huge success that demonstrated Craven's precision in elevating the thriller narrative and the power of its stars to dizzying heights. Genre gold that continues to captivate.

With a modest budget of only $26 million, it was a box office success, grossing $57 million globally. Proving tight, unsettling thrillers have Commercial viability.
