Picking up where the multitudes of late '90s/early 2000s reality-based television shows left off is the unexpectedly shocking horror film My Little Eye, from director Marc Evans. Five twentysomethings are assembled to live together for a period of six months in a house specially outfitted with a bevy of webcams in order to collect a one million prize. The one major caveat being if anyone abandons the house prior to the end of the six-month period, no one will win anything. After introducing the different characters -- intelligent Danny (Stephen O'Reilly), slacker Rex (Kris Lemche), frat boy Matt (Sean CW Johnson), good girl Emma (Laura Regan), and actress wannabe Charlie (Jennifer Sky) -- the story jumps ahead to the last few days before the scheduled end of the contest. At this point, it becomes apparent that outside forces are somehow manipulating certain events within the house, and the household is sent into chaos as one of the participants is found dead. Another participant receives an ominous note, and shortly thereafter, the remaining participants begin to realize the true intensity of their mortal peril. My Little Eye premiered at the 2002 Locarno International Film Festival. ~ Ryan Shriver, All Movie Guide

In this stylish thriller from the Netherlands, Guy (Freddy Douglas) and Albert (Fredja van Huet) are business partners who have fallen deeply in debt, with seemingly no way out. Desperate to raise some cash, the two men, along with Albert's wife Anna (Esmee de la Bretoniere), approach underworld kingpin Spike (Rik Launspach). Spike gives the trio a chance to make big money very quickly by carrying $25 million worth of Ecstacy from Amsterdam to some dealers in Spain. While crossing the borders with the drugs proves to be simple enough, no one was counting on meeting someone like Lulu (Aurelie Meriel), a member of some European terrorist ring. The Delivery earned Roel Reine the Golden Calf award (the Dutch Academy Award) for Best Director of 1999. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Harvey Keitel plays John Harris, an American drug enforcement officer who is asked by London police to help them in cracking an organized drug ring. The syndicate is run by a ruthless young American who turns disaffected young Britons into hardened criminals. The gang has gunned down a well-known mobster and supplies cheap heroin to dance clubs all over London. Harris hooks up with British police officer Edward Foster (Iain Glen). They discover that the drug ring is just a small part of a huge international mob -- and that a young man whose own father has worked for the American-run mob all his life is the key to cracking the ring. ~ Michael Betzold, All Movie Guide
