Frequently Asked Questions

Are these crime stories based on real events?

Some are! Look for 'True Crime' tags based on TMDB data. We include both documentaries and fictionalized versions.

What's the difference between Crime and Thriller?

Crime focuses on lawbreakers' perspectives, while Thrillers emphasize suspense. Many films blend both - try our 'Hybrid' filter!
