Thesis (1996)
Dir: Alejandro Amenábar

A film school student doing a thesis on violence discovers a seemingly real snuff movie.
Amenábar's first Spanish thriller is a solid effort that is let down by a sluggish pace and an unsatisfying ending. It's well acted by the leads and the subject matter provides some effective scares. Though the film's message is nothing new, it does manage to raise a few interesting points on violence in the movies.
