Cinetrii analyses reviews to infer possible inspirations behind a film. Enter a title to find other works that may have inspired (or been inspired by) it, along with the quotes that determine the connection.
The Substance (2024) Body horror as a beauty regimen. Critics put it beside Death Becomes Her and Society, and further back, The Picture of Dorian Gray.
Moonrise Kingdom (2012) Anderson's runaway children have a lineage of their own. Truffaut's Small Change behind them, Jojo Rabbit in front.
Longlegs (2024) Perkins shoots a serial-killer procedural and then lets the floor drop out. Reviewers kept reaching for Zodiac and Se7en, then stopped being able to.
The Babadook (2014) Jennifer Kent's The Babadook rekindled our interest in contemporary horror after years of remakes and retreads. Its motifs have been used in films such as Lights Out, His House and Under the Shadow.
Nope (2022) Everyone left Nope naming a different film. Tremors, Akira, and over and over, Spielberg. This is Peele's Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Pulp Fiction (1994) Quentin Tarantino's films are packed with homages and Pulp Fiction is no exception. Have you seen Kiss Me Deadly or Charley Varrick?
