Unsolved Its a film about a story within stories. Basically, everything horrible or evil that can happen, WILL happen...but its all good because by the end of the story our protagonist is "free," after going on a killing spree. I forget the message.

It’s a very niche movie.
Edit: nobody guessed yet.
I will update the post if anyone guesses.
If anyone is curious I’ll update it tomorrow with the answer.
Solution: Womb (2010). I only watched it because Matt Smith was in it.

Unsolved It's easy to solve a crime, if you're the one who committed it in the first place. But maybe keep some distance from the victim afterwards, for long-term success.
