Thesis (1996)

Hide your camcorder and don't drop out of film school because we're talking Spanish writer/director Alejandro Amenábar's 1996 feature film debut, Thesis (or Tesis)

The snuff film thriller is led by an enterprising College student surrounded by hot men, any of whom might be the balacava-wearing killer seen on screen. And while the reveal isn't exactly a whodunnit, the 2+ hour film is never boring.

Plus: Amenábar's queer and Franco fascism influences, 90s technology, and a sexy murder dream
